Jenkins user authentication against JIRA

Question

We are currently creating Confluence, JIRA and Jenkins, and I would prefer to have only one user database that all tools can use, rather than creating separate accounts in each tool. Google tells me that Jenkins can authenticate and authorize users against Atlassian Crowd. Confluence can use Crowd as well as JIRA to manage users.

But can Jenkins use JIRA (not Crowd) as its user database to authenticate and allow users against it?

Answer 1

One method is with Crowd2 (Jenkins plugin).

From Jira

• Go to Admin Cog> User Management
• JIRA User Server (left)

• Click "+ Add Application" (upper right side)

  Notes. To specify a port with IP addresses in Jira, use the format XX.XX.XX.XX / PORT. Jira user must have administrator permissions.

  

From jenkins

• Go to "Managing Jenkins" (left)> Managing Plugin> Available Tab
• Download the crowd plugin

• Open Jenkins Management (left)> Configure Global Security

  Notes: Jenkins administrator access is required.
