Can you perform LDAP password look up (only) in JIRA 4.3.4

[Dave Donnelly [Sensata]]

Have just upgraded from JIRA 3.13.5 where we had a single sign on set up. Jira was looking up the passwords for user names from the internal directory that matched the same usernames in Active Directory. Not sure how to configure this in Jira 4.3.4 as all I have managed to do so far is replace the user list that is internal to Jira with the imported (synchronised) list from AD.

Any help would be great.

Thanks :)

Make sure you have the osuser.xml in the WEB-INF/classes folder of the new installation when you import the XML backup. That will create the internal directory with LDAP authentication during upgrade.

The osuser.xml file was not in the WEB-INF/classes directory after upgrading from 3.13 to V4.3.4. Is there some way to generate it from within the JIRA application or can I just copy over the one from my 3.13 directory structure? I presume from your answer above that the osuser.xml file needs to be present in the WEB0INF/classes directory prior to performing the XML import....? Thanks for the info so far.

That worked thanks! :)

I copied the 3.13.5 osuser.xml file to the new 4.3.4 WE-INF/classes directory and re-imported the xml backup.

Thanks again!

cool. I came across the same issue only last week ;)

You just add a user directory of type: Internal with LDAP Authentication User Directory, if that's what you want. AFAIK this should have happened automagically through an upgrade task.

If you're starting with a test instance, just use the values in osuser.xml when creating the user directory.
