Configuration of Atlassian Access with ADFS through SAML and Configuration of User Provisioning

[Jason Li Ting Chung]

HI Community,

I wish to know if we need to configure Atlassian Access with AD FS before configuring user provisioning. 

Or if User provisioning is something different. Because I am confused with SAML configuration and User provisioning configuration.

In addition, is there a resource on how to manage users/groups and licenses after configuration with Atlassian Access with AD FS is completed?

Thank in advance for help.

Best regards,

Jason Li

Hi @Jason Li Ting Chung ,

Only SAML SSO is supported with AD FS. Our SAML implementation supports just-in-time provisioning, but AD FS does not support user provisioning via the indstury-standard SCIM protocol. To set up user provisioning, you will need to connect AD to a cloud identity provider like Azure AD. See Microsoft's documentation here for details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/app-provisioning/user-provisioning
