Crowd + JIRA as SSO IDP for custom application

[Karl Buena]

Hi,

We were trying to use Atlassian Crowd as SSO IDP for our custom application but we were not successful as it turns out we cannot use Crowd as a standalone IDP.

We are now exploring the option Crowd + JIRA as SSO IDP for our app, but we are not sure as well if this is possible at all? If not, is there a way to use Crowd together with any application to be used as an SSO IDP for custom app?

Thank you!

Hi @Karl Buena and welcome to the Atlassian Communtiy.

I think you should be able to integrate Crowd with a custom application. Involving Jira just to have an IDP should not be necessary.

What are you looking for exactly? Do you need to sync users to your custom application? This should be possible with Crowd's REST API.

Authentication should even be possible with SAML.

@Charlie Misonne yes our main goal is to use Crowd for:
  1. SSO
  2. Users sync to our custom application

Do you have additional documentation or sample crowd SSO integration to custom app that can help us speed up our development?

Thanks so much for your help!
