JIRA SAML SSO by Microsoft

[dimpan]

I was able to implement the following guide to use SSO here; 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/jiramicrosoft-tutorial

however when enforcing SSO ;

To enable the default login form for admin login on login page when force azure login is enabled, add the query parameter in the browser URL. https://<domain:port>/login.action?force_azure_login=false

I'm returned a 404 page and am unable to login to my admin panel

Hey @dimpan ,

login.action is the location of the login page in Confluence. If you're working on setting this up in Jira, you'll want login.jsp instead - so your full login bypass URL would be:

https://<domain:port>/login.jsp?force_azure_login=false

This looks like an error in Microsoft's documentation. I'll reach out to see if they can update it.

and how do you do to access the admin section ? is there a way to force_azure_login=false ?

Here is the solution for those searching for it : i found it here : https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configuring-secure-administrator-sessions-938847890.html

Disabling secure administrator sessions
Secure administrator sessions (i.e. password confirmation before accessing administration functions) are enabled by default. If this causes issues for your Jira instance (e.g. if you are using a custom authentication mechanism), you can disable this feature by specifying the following line in your jira-config.properties file:

jira.websudo.is.disabled = true
