Important Update Effective February 1, 2024!
Due to recent changes in Jira and Confluence, we've made the tough decision to discontinue the OpenID Connect (OIDC)/OAuth app and no longer provide new versions for the newest Jira/Confluence releases as of January 31, 2024.
This is due to some necessary components no longer shipping with Jira/Confluence, which would require some extensive rewrites of the OIDC App.
User Provisioning
In this section, we explain how to do user provisioning with the AWS app.
There are two patterns for provisioning users with our AWS ALB Authentication app:
For individual users, during login
Syncing the entire user directory, without authentication
Each pattern, together with the different ways to implement it, is discussed below.
Provisioning individual users with AWS ALB Authentication during login
We are allowing it for two different setups:
Create and update users with the claims as sent by the load balancer (Just-In-Time).
During login, connect to the identity provider and sync the user via the REST API of the identity provider.
Provisioning users by synchronizing the directory (without authentication)
Since version 2.0, AWS includes a full User Sync module.
With this module, user accounts can be synchronized from the cloud Identity Provider into the Atlassian application.
There are mainly two options:
Schedule synchronizations at regular intervals
Trigger synchronizations manually
To use either of the options above, customers must first create a User Sync connector with their IdP.
Below are the guides to configure User Sync connectors with the Identity Providers that are currently supported:
