Jira 4.4 to jira 5.0 com.atlassian.jira.user.util.OSUserConverter package not avialable in JIra 5.0

[SuhailM]

HI,

I have one OSUser(ldap) to converted to the com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User but this api which was working jira 4.4 is not availiable in Jira 5.0.

OSUserConverter.convertToOSUser(username);

http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/4.4/com/atlassian/jira/user/util/OSUserConverter.html

Where cani find a similar api in jira 5.0 or is there any alternative solution??

Regards

Remove old code.

Guidelines are here: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/How+to+migrate+a+plugin+from+JIRA+4.x+to+JIRA+5.0

OSUSer is not aailable in JIRA5 and hence the conversion is not valid. Where are you doing this conversion? Maybe that is not needed now?

[SuhailM]

@Override

protected Principal getUser(String username) {

return OSUserConverter.convertToOSUser(getUserFromJira(username));

}

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

java.security.Principal- this api use to convert the the username to of type Principal.THis is to enable the SSO

using X509Certificate.

But this api is deprecated in Jira 5.0

You don't need to convert I guess. com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User implements java.security.Principal

I have implemented SSO for jira 4.4, but now in JIRA 5.0 has this problem.

I have extended this class -

public class SslAuthenticator extends DefaultAuthenticator{

}

This DefaultAuthenticator has this (see below)abstract method which needs to be implemented -How do return a Principal Object here??

protected Principal getUser(String username) {

return OSUserConverter.convertToOSUser(getUserFromJira(username));

}

return getUserFromJira(username); ? I guess Jobin just answered that.
