administration using saml sso

[warecm43]

I've just set up my Jira Datacenter and Confluence Datacenter sites to use SAML SSO.  It works fine to log into the system.

When I try to go to the Administration pages of the sites, I'm still being prompted for username and password.  Is this normal behavior?  Is there a way to have Jira and Confluence use SAML SSO for authenticating to the admin functions pages?

Hi @warecm43,

You can disable password confirmation before accessing administration functions by updating the jira-config.properties file. Check out the article Configuring secure administrator sessions for more details.

Thank you. That works great for Jira.

Do you know if I can apply the same logic for Confluence? Make a confluence-config.properties file with a confluence.websudo.is.disabled = true value?

@warecm43, here's a guide for Confluence: Configuring Secure Administrator Sessions. You can disable secure administrator sessions from the admin tab.
