Atlassian Cloud OAuth Single Sign-On (SSO) Github

Jira OAuth Single-Sign On(SSO) for Atlassian Cloud allows you to securely login using Github credentials. Single Sign-on (SSO) into your Atlassian Access or Atlassian Jira Cloud Account with any of your existing OAuth Provider credentials for enhanced security using our module.

You can refer the steps to configure Multiple IDPs and Domain Mapping in Atlassian Access from the video or documentation given below

Pre-requisites

1. Atlassian Guard (Atlassian Access) Subscription:

Atlassian Guard is an additional subscription applied across the Atlassian Cloud products like Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Jira Work Management, Confluence, and Bitbucket. It is needed for Single Sign-On (SSO) or any Cloud Service that comes under Atlassian Guard.

2. Domain Verification:

The first step of Atlassian Guard starts with the Domain Verification process to enforce SSO on the managed user accounts. This process verifies that you own a valid domain for managing the user accounts and use the same domain name for the email addresses.
