You have been asked to take on the administration of a second Jira installation in your company.
You were given the following information about user accounts:
-The company standard is to use Active Directory (AD) to provide user accounts.
-There are several Active Directory systems in use by different business units.
-The second Jira is not to be merged with your main Jira.
-The main Jira system is connected to Active Directory for user accounts.
-The second Jira is using internal user accounts, not Active Directory.
-People using the second Jira are using the same login ID as they would use in Active Directory.
-Your company would like to use Single Sign-on (SSO) but has not yet implemented it for either Jira system.
Which authentication method should you recommend?
- Change the new Jira to use your main Jira’s directory services, as that is already reading your Active Directory services.
- Set up a Crowd server to get the user lists from all internal directories and AD, and use AD directly for the password checking.
- Set up a Crowd server to pull in all the AD services, and plan to migrate internal users.
- Change the new Jira to link directly to the required AD servers.
