Google Authentication Only for Server Hosted Jira and Confluence

Benjamin Daugherty February 21, 2019

We are hosting our servers and would like to know how we can have our users click on the Authenticate with Google.  The user directories are connected to a Google LDAP server and we also have 9 different domains.  We are able to do this with other services, but need guidance on how we can do this with our Jira server and confluence on prem server.

Hi Benjamin,

we are also adding SSO capability to Jira and Confluence. If you search the Marketplace for  Gsuite, you actually get a good overview of the companies having integration plugins for Gsuite: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=gsuite

Our's are the first two hits & the most installed ones.

Here is also the Step-by-Step Guid & a Video to see the installation in action: https://wiki.resolution.de/doc/saml-sso/latest/all/setup-guides-for-saml-sso/g-suite-google-apps

Cheers,
   Christian

P.S. Full disclosure - I work for resolution, a marketplace Top Gold Vendor.

Hi Christian,

Regarding your solution, do you need both plugins to work for JIRA and Confluence, or would it be possible that the latter could sync with the GSuite user directory on JIRA?

Thanks

Cheers,

Nicolás

Hi Nicolas,

I'm afraid you need the plugin on both Jira and Confluence. 

Let me know if you need any help with the setup.

Cheers,
Christian

Hi Benjamin,

In Jira Standalone directly, no, the integrated Crowd directory on a Jira Standalone installation cannot integrate with google at this time, but a separate Crowd server does have an integration option, as well as Third party SSO apps.

Check out this Feature request with some details on the options available and links to the relevant documentation under the "Workaround" section in the description:

And This Link is a search in market place for Alternate Jira Server Google Apps integration options currently available not listed on the Feature request that may also extending an SSO option to a Jira Server Standalone install.

Also make sure to add a vote to the feature request to track continued interest in integration.

Regards,
Earl
