2.Major Benefits for Using SAML SSO for JIRA and Confluence

• Increased Security: Authentication is delegated to the SAML IdP, so advanced authentication methods on the IdP (like two-factor-authentication) also apply to JIRA and Confluence
• Centralize User Access Control: A single registry of user IDs with a centralized management interface allows quick and easy provisioning and deactivating of user accounts. With SAML SSO, user can be created and updated during login based on data provided by the SAML IdP. So centralized user management is possible without attaching JIRA or Confluence to a LDAP directory.
• Single Identity: A secure, enterprise-wide infrastructure with common password and security setting that can be centrally managed and secured. Users are also less likely to write down their passwords when there is only one to remember.
• No Login Screen for Windows Domain users: When using ADFS as Identity provider, users logged in to Windows Domain PCs are already authenticated at the IdP and don’t need to login again
• Reduce IT personnel Costs and Head Counts: Especially for large organization, less time is spent on managing accounts, communicating passwords and assigning groups, resulted from employee turnover.
• Improve User Experience and Tool Adoption Rate: Thanks to ease of use, it becomes easier to access the application, users will therefore use JIRA more frequently.
• Boost Productivities and Gain Financial Savings: Save at least $xxx by not having to sign in 1 time per day (see section 5)
