LDAP and JIRA for dummies

[zyxtaxbo]

Hi there,

I am looking for a step-by-step description how to connect a jira installation to a ldap server (univention server in my case).

I found this video, which was quite helpful, but I still cannot get those things to work.

To make things more difficult, I am quite new to univention-server and LDAP.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, thanks all for Your help and Your effort.

I thought it would be cool to use a LDAP structure at home to share credentials to several services and machines, but I guess I have to admit to myself, that setting up and configuring an ldap-infrastructure "by the way" is way ahead of my skills.

Just your "Group Object Filter"-example shows me the multiple possibilities how to mess things up.
