Okta integration with Jira Server (OnPremise)

[Pravin Patil]

Hi,

Can someone help me with documentation on setting up Okta with Jira Server (OnPremise).

I see lot of documentation aroung Okra integration with Jira Atlassian Cloud, but not for server.

Hi @Pravin Patil 

I am from Kantega SSO, one of the Marketplace SSO vendors. You find our step by step guide for setting up Okta with Jira server here: https://docs.kantega.no/display/KA/Okta

Good luck. Our support team is also standing by if you need assistance ;)

Have a nice weekend!

Hi @Jon Espen Ingvaldsen Kantega SSO - after looking at the support documentation for the Kantega SSO app, it looks like there is no option to integrate with OKTA for Jira server. The only place where I see OKTA is under Cloud. 

Will you please confirm if I'm misinterpreting something or perhaps if I haven't found the right section in the documentation? 

[Jon Espen Ingvaldsen Kantega SSO]

Hi and thanks for asking. The term "cloud" here is used to group the identity providers, and Okta is placed here because they are a cloud service. You have located the correct guide to setup Okta for Jira server.

Cheers,

Jon Espen

Hi Taranjeet, thanks for sharing the details, they look helpful. I am on it.

Do we need to purchase the Kantega SSO?

Isnt there out of the box jira solution available?

[Jon Espen Ingvaldsen Kantega SSO]

SSO is not a part of the core functionality of Jira Server, and you need a SSO app to get Okta authentication here. The following link shows some of the app alternatives:

Looks like Okta provides the okta-jira.jar too
