Is it possible to redirect Jira from base url to another apart from Dashboard?

Hello Community,

We are using Jira Server Datacenter version 10.3 with OpenID Connect (OIDC) SSO configured for login. Our LDAP server is set up in Azure. Everything works fine as expected except accessing the Login via SSO option.

Currently, the default behavior of Jira is that when we browse the base URL (e.g., https://jira-instance.com/), it redirects to the Dashboard page (https://jira-instance.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa).

The main Login gadget on this page requires users to enter their username and password.

To login via SSO, users need to click the Login button in the top-right corner, which redirects them to the login page (https://jira-instance.com/login.jsp?os_destination=%2Fdefault.jsp).

Please refer below image,

Then, they have to click the SSO Login button to proceed with the OpenID Connect login, which redirects them to a URL like <base-url>/plugins/servlet/external-login/2?authDest=%2Fdefault.jsp.

Please refer below image

We would like to reduce the number of steps for SSO login and avoid using any third-party plugins. Our goal is to achieve the following:

1. When a user browses the Jira base URL,

   • they should be automatically redirected to the OIDC SSO login URL (<base-url>/plugins/servlet/external-login/2?authDest=%2Fdefault.jsp) if their session is new or expired.

   • If the user's session is still valid, they should be redirected to the Dashboard page (<base-url>/secure/Dashboard.jspa).

2. If point 1 is not possible, is it possible to display the SSO Login button within the Login gadget on the main Dashboard page?

We would appreciate any suggestions or guidance on how to implement these customizations.

Thank you

Welcome to the Atlassian Community @Bhimashankar Poddar !

Not sure about your configuration, we are DC users as well. Our URL takes you straight to the screen where you click either on to enter username and password or to use SSO.

You have one extra step in your process.

Can you please elaborate why are you using a plugin? It is the part I didn't get.

Best,
