Synchronize LDAP users pictures

[Allan Margono]

We are evaluating crowd ver  2.11.0 and can't find a way to utilize our LDAP users pictures to all Atlassian Tools sets, including Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Bamboo. Please provide suggestions on how we can achieve that? We have users complaint that they have to upload different pictures on each Atlassian tools.

As of today you can't. You might want to vote for the following feature request: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-2165

What about synchronize users pictures between Atlassian tools? Hence users just need to upload pictures once and it should be shared among all Atlassian Tools?

Can it be done?

I.e, User uploads a pic on Jira, the same pic should be displayed in Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, etc.

There are actually plugins for this:

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/it.openmindonline.jiraextensions.jira-avatar-server/server/overview
• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.cutlass.confluence.plugin.rest.cas/server/overview

Please note that I haven't tested them myself but they seem to have good reviews.

Beside the plugins options, would it possible to host our own avatar server in Crowd? i.e., using public hosted avatar is not acceptable at an enteprise level, due to security, etc.

If yes, then is there any recommendation on how to set it up?

[Allan Margono]

If we have to use a plugin then I don't see any single plugin that can be used across all atlassian tools, e.g., jira, confluence, bamboo, bitbucket and crowd. At least none for jira & confluence single avatar plugin.
