Jira Keycloak

[Zoraida]

Editthe SAML client you created in Keycloak. Change the client ID to be the "SP Entity ID" value. Copy the "SP Assertion Consumer Service URL" and paste it into "Valid Redirect URIs" and "Base URL". Click "Save".

Thank you for experiment keycloak using SAML sso. Yes the information was quite helpful to reach the endpoint but still I am experiencing an issue. In my case Keycloak is acting as a Identity broker from my LDAP server. LDAP authentication works and reach at my atlassian cloud site but it fails with user not found error. Is this due to anything related to policy? If you want more info, I am happy to provide the details from my client and realm.

It is not (currently) possible to use Keycloak as a means of provisioning users in Atlassian Access. In other words, you either have to manually create users in Atlassian Access so that users can then authenticate, or you have to find another way of getting users created in AA.

Within the Atlassian Admin pages, click on "Directory" and you'll see Managed accounts, User provisioning, G Suite and Domains. If you are synchronising from LDAP to G Suite, you can use that mechanism to provision users. Otherwise, you'll need to click on "User provisioning" to set up automatic provisioning.

We don't specifically support / test against Keycloak, so it's covered in the Unsupported identity providers section of our setup document. The details in that section apply in general to any SSO provider that supports SAML (which Keycloak does).

It might be related to the keycloak issue #14055 but I am wondering, since everyone else got it running here, if there has been a change in the JIRA SAML Authentication Flow or if I am missing a setting somewhere.

This add-on provides single-sign-on based on openid-connect (OIDC) for Jira and ServiceDesk. It is developed against Keycloak (www.keycloak.org), but we test with WSO2, CAS-Server and Google IDM as well.

It seems that your configurations of SSO with keycloak are not correct. You can try the miniOrange SSO app for easy configuration. We support OpenID SSO with keycloak along with support to pull user information and groups from Keycloak as well.

the scim-for-keycloak module is currently not supporting client side of SCIM. It actually supports the same part as atlassian does, the server side. To add the client-side I would need to add several authentication protocols to be configurable so that the SCIM module would be able to connect to atlassian as a client.

@DylanPokun what you asked is exactly what am looking for right now. Did you get any solution for that. I mean using user provisioning(SCIM) for atlassian cloud(jira and confluence). What did you do exactly?

Sorry for the late reply, did not receive an email.

I saw that keycloak is currently developing new user storage types but I did not look into them yet, so up until now its still not possible to provision users and groups from keycloak to another system.

I'm having trouble starting jira from via docker-compose. I want a reproducible runtime including keyloak to test a jira-keycloak-auth-mechanism. But everytime I start my env usind docker-compose Jira crashes on startup when initalising the plugin system. I tried jira with its embedded H2 db and (because I thought jira would use to much memory with H2) with postgres. Connecting to postgtes works, in lofile jira states, that the db connection works. This is my docke-dompose.yml with postgres:

This is the end of the docker-compose startup. Jira crashes with memory issue immediately. This is the last line from my log. There are no postgres-errors logged. Keycloak from the same docker-compose works fine, only jira crashes. The conclusion "memor issue" is based on -causes-a-container-to-exit-with-code-137.

I have no clue how to fix my jira with docker-compose. Can anyone give me a hint? I'm runnng docker and docker-compose on Windows via WSL. But running both commands via powershell (so no WSL) brings the same result.

I've just integrated keycloak with jBPM. Now I can login to jBPM console with keycloak user's credentials and get related roles. But I don't have any groups I mapped to my user in Keycloak console. I tried to create process with human task assigned to group(entered name of group created in Keycloak). This task was unavailable for the user that had this group in keycloak mapping.

My understanding is that currently groups are a Keycloak only concept, it allows you to group users and assign roles to groups. In turn users will inherit group roles. That's as far as it goes today, there are items on the keycloak JIRA related to Group based authorizations, no target though.

So, if I understand correctly. I want to assign a user task to a group of users (let say "manager"). If bob and tom are part of this group "manager" in Keycloak and my process implements a group assignation to "manager". It's not going to work because a Keycloak group is not reflected to jBPM ?

If you are evaluating both alternatives, you should know that SAML Single Sign On solutions have been developed for Atlassian since 2012 out of a passion for network security, while Atlassian launched the SSO app for Data Center in early 2019 because it was a must-have for their customer base.

If you already have an SSO solution in place, you might be planning a migration to Jira Data Center from Jira Server. Or you might be considering that you want to implement SSO in Jira before migrating to Data Center. If you eventually move to Data Center without changing your existing infrastructure, you can simply follow this guide to configure SAML SSO on Jira Server and then export your configuration to the new Data Center license.

All this information will be provided to you by the wizard later on so you can use it to configure the app. The reason you have the option to show it is so you can share it with your team at large, in case anybody else is in charge of configuring the IdP.

If you decide to start from scratch, the first step will be to choose your SAML Identity Provider. The most common Identity Providers come with preloaded templates into the app, and you will be able to choose them from the dropdown.

In order to be able to communicate using the SAML language, the IdP and the Service Provider (in this case is SAML SSO for Jira) need to handshake with the exchange of metadata. Metadata comes in an XML format and can be shared via a URL.

How you need to enter this information depends on the specific IdP. SAML SSO will preload all the necessary URLs configured to guarantee that the corresponding IdP can read them. Additionally, a link with step-by-step instructions on how to complete this task is provided.

Once you have an answer to that question, you can figure out what attributes coming from the IdP is a stronger candidate to create robust and consistent matches. For example, finding a match based on email addresses will be different to basing it on full names.

The most common example that you can see in the screenshot is stripping the domain of an email address. In that way, you would trim an email address like john...@resolution.de to john.bold, which contains the first and last names.

Many companies use their Identity Providers as the single source of truth for identity and access management. The IdP stores which applications a user should be able to access and what permissions apply for each application. Any changes are managed on the IdP first so that they propagate to the applications.

The SAML responses sent by the IdP contain user attributes like email, name, organizational affiliation, or telephone. Information about which groups a user is a member of is also included. And that information is vital to manage access and permissions in Jira.

Again, remember that for many organizations the IdP is the single source of truth for identity management: access to applications, permissions, group memberships, and authorization policies are all managed centrally.

Note: This step will only use the user sync to update or create users during the SAML SSO process. User Sync can also be used to synchronize the entire user database or specific groups. More about this in the User Sync section of the advanced configuration, at the end of this guide.

Important note: Remember to provision a local administrator and to back it up in the Identity Provider so that you can still access the instance using SSO after you enable the SSO redirection in Step 7.

If you forget to do this, you will still be able to access traditional basic authentication by appending the parameter ?nosso to your base URL. For example, www.acme.jira.com/login would become www.acme.jira.com/login?nossso

Note: You can skip the test if you want to set the redirection configuration first, but you should NEVER enable the SSO redirect without a successful test, or you will lock yourself out of the instance!

In step 5 above, you had the option to create and update users during their login using synchronizations with the Identity Provider. Basically, SAML SSO would look up in Jira every user trying to log in, then use the API to update Jira with the most current data from the IdP.

We have also seen how to configure the app step by step, guiding you through the full extent of the wizard and the most important advanced configuration options. Throughout the guide, we have explained the meaning of each step and pointed at the most important decisions that you will have to make in this process, like how your users will be updated, or what IdP selection method will be in place.

Please note that only users that are part of confluence-users or jira-software-users will be recognized by Confluence and Jira respectively. If you wan't a different set of users to appear in Confluence and Jira change the User Object Filter field appropriately.
