JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo, Crucible/Fisheye and LDAP

[lance_lyons]

Hi, We were looking at implementing LDAP active directory authentication for all of these products JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo, Crucible/Fisheye. They all are setup as SSL Https sites. We were going to use Crowd but there appears to be no Windows / Apache compatible integration for Crowd. So if we use LDAP, do we setup JIRA LDAP and groups and then have the other apps use JIRA or do we have to do LDAP for all 4 individually?

Is there documentation for doing this with all 4.

Thanks

Lance

We have resolved this. THe problem was initially that the recommended solution for integrating crowd into apache was with ActivePerl 5.08 or 5.10 amongst other things. Those versions of activePerl were no longer available free.

We decided (because of a suggestion on this forum by Colin) to not integrate crowd with Apache and just have crowd setup in the background with active directory users directories with each app pointing to this crowd directory. There was no need for the apache integration.

Thanks

Hi Lance,

I'm not sure why you can have JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo, FishEye and Crucible connected to a Crowd server setup with an LDAP directory. Crowd was specifically designed for scenarios such as what you've described. Crowd also works on Windows, Mac and Linux. Are you able to give more info about your requirements?

Alternatively, you can integrate all the applications with just JIRA. Have a look at the following documentation: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ATLAS/Here+Be+Dragons
