When we try to configure jira inbuilt SSO with Oracle Access Management, the authentication requests are signed in IdP and sent. This is not accepted by Jira. When contacted Atlassian support, they suggested to disable "authentication request signing in IdP", but the SSO team will not do this due to security concerns. 

Do anyone faced similar issue and is there any other workaround ?

I am aware of the existing suggestion request with atlassian but does not seem it will be fixed in nearby days.

Hello Rilwan,

I hope you are doing well.

It seems you're facing an issue with Jira’s built-in SSO integration, where signed authentication requests from Oracle Access Management (OAM) aren't being accepted. We understand that disabling "authentication request signing in IdP" can pose a security concern, so your team prefers to keep this feature enabled for added protection.

I would recommend using miniOrange’s Jira SAML SSO plugin, which supports signed authentication requests and offers more flexibility in handling various SAML configurations, making it compatible with OAM. We can help ensure a smooth integration without compromising security.


If you’d like to explore this further, please reach out to me on harshit.bhagat@xecurify.com and we can arrange a demo to walk you through the solution! 

Thanks,
Harshit.
