Atlassian Jira

Configuring Key9 Identity SAML SSO with Atlassian Jira

Atlassian required a subscription to Atlassian Guard Standard, to use SSO.

More information about Atlassian Guard can be found here.

To setup JIRA, we need two pieces of information.

1. Service provider entity URL: This url can be found in the SAML configuration via the Atlassian Admin.

2. Service provider assertion consumer service URL: This url can be found in the SAML configuration via the Atlassian Admin.

Jira SSO setup information can be found here.

Make sure you're an admin for an Atlassian organization.

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.

2. Navigate to: Security > Identity providers.

3. Select Set up SAML single sign-on.

4. Select Other provider, in the Identity Provider dropdown.

5. Enter Key9 for the Directory name field

6. Add SAML details.

Copy and paste the URLs from your Atlassian organization to Key9 Setup Items

1. Service provider entity URL

2. Service provider assertion consumer service URL

After you have created your Key9 application, click the SSO tab in the side navigation, and copy the following information to Jira:

1. Copy the Key9 Entity ID url to the Identity provider Entity ID field.

2. Copy the Key9 SSO url to the Identity provider SSO URL.

3. Copy the Key9 X.509 Certificate to the Public x509 certificate field.

(To view and copy the x509 certificate in Key9, select View Certificate Details from the Certificate Options dropdown menu, then click the copy icon.)

Save the SAML configuration and test the connection.

-------------------

By default, applications are not active upon creation. Active applications are immediately available to assign groups. Applications should only be activated when you have configured the Service Provider (SP).
