Can Jira connect to more than one external LDAP server?

[Atle Rinvoll]

Hi

Some of my Jira users are authenticated from an external LDAP server (JIRA Delegated Authentication Directory). Is it possible to add one more external LDAP server for authentication?

As mentioned before, JIRA is able to use multiple delegated directories. However, JIRA use directories order to decide which users it would use to authenticate if there are any duplicates.

For example the configured order is:

DIR1 : User : user1

DIR2 : User :user1

When user1 of DIR2 try to login using its credential it would failed since JIRA only recognize user1 from DIR1 and ignore the duplicate comes from the lower order dir.

Hope it helps.

Yes, but 1 user should be defined only in 1 LDAP only

Do you know of any description on how to do this? In Jira it is not possible to select JIRA Delegated Authentication Directory twice. (Jira 4.4.4).
