Thanks for your understanding.


This setup guide describes how to setup SAML Single Sign On (SSO) Plugin from version 0.14.5 JIRA with Azure AD. 

Prerequisites

JIRA must be accessible via HTTPS

See https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira064/running-jira-over-ssl-or-https-720411727.html for instructions. This is necessary because Azure AD accepts only HTTPS-URLs for SAML endpoints.

Azure Active Directory Premium

If you already have an Azure AD account, but are not sure if your premium account is enabled

 click me to find out.

After signed in to your Azure AD account, click on Active Directory and choose the directory you want to use with SAML Single Sign On. After your chosen directory opened up, click on Licences on the right side. Then, under the Licence Plans you will see the licence type you have - Microsoft Azure Active Directory Premium, if it is enabled. Otherwise, see video provided above to enable it.


If your Azure premium account  is not yet enabled, find out how to enable Azure Active Directory Premium trial here. To improve the user experience of our plugin and reduce the costs of our customers from purchasing Azure Premium account, we already applied for being listed in Azure AD Application Gallery. Due to some internal reasons at Microsoft, this process is taking excessively long. If you are already a customer of Azure AD, your voice may help us speed up the process. Support us and request the plugin integration here: waadpartners@microsoft.com.
