Jira SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) | Login using Joomla into Jira SSO


Single Sign-On in Jira using Joomla IDP allows users to log in to Jira using Joomla by configuring Jira as a Service Provider (SP) and Joomla as a SAML Identity Provider (IDP). This guide will take you through a step-by-step process to configure SSO between the two platforms.

What is Jira?
Jira is a project management and issue-tracking software developed by Atlassian, primarily used by software development teams. It allows teams to plan, track, and manage software development projects using various methodologies, including Agile, Scrum, and Kanban. Key features include task and issue tracking, customizable workflows, sprint planning, reporting, and integration with other tools like Confluence, Bitbucket, and GitHub. Jira helps teams improve productivity, collaboration, and project visibility by providing a centralized platform for managing development projects and tracking progress.
