Siemens Secures Jira Cloud Access With miniOrange Jira OAuth/OIDC SSO

Siemens enhances its Jira Cloud Security with miniOrange Jira OAuth/OIDC SSO for Smooth SSO with its On-Premises OIDC Provider.

Use Case:

Siemens, a longstanding client of miniOrange, has relied on the miniOrange Jira OAuth/OIDC SSO solution to link its Jira Server instances with its on-premises OIDC Provider, enabling users to log in to Jira via SSO that is authenticated at the OIDC Provider.

As Atlassian announced the discontinuation of its server products, Siemens began migrating to the Cloud. They sought to replicate their robust on-premises OIDC Provider and established SSO setup in the cloud. However, Atlassian's provision of only basic functionality in its SAML SSO solution posed a challenge to this task.

Solution We Provided:

Anticipating such scenarios since Atlassian’s announcement miniOrange had already developed a tailored solution. This new solution was able to effectively address Siemens' specific requirements. It enables the connection of Atlassian Access with any OAuth/OIDC provider, whether it's a widely recognized provider or a custom one.

With this broker solution, customers can seamlessly maintain their existing provider without the need to transition from OAuth/OIDC to SAML protocol, which can otherwise be a significant change for enterprise-level customers.

How the Solution Works:

enabling SSO in Atlassian Cloud. Initially, users establish a connection between Atlassian Access and miniOrange using the SAML protocol. Then, they establish a connection between miniOrange and their on-premises OAuth/OIDC Provider.

In this configuration, the miniOrange broker acts as an intermediary bridge. It facilitates the exchange of SAML requests with an OAuth provider, which processes the request. Once the OAuth provider sends a response, our solution converts it into a SAML response and sends it back to Atlassian Access.

Key Benefits of the Solution:

  • Enhanced Security: Enables SSO integration with OAuth/OIDC provider, ensuring robust authentication.
  • Cost Savings: Utilizes existing SSO setup with minimal modifications, eliminating the need for switching to a new provider and protocol.
  • Easy Environment Setup: Simplifies cloud migration by leveraging existing on-premises infrastructure for SSO in Jira Cloud.
  • Advanced Functionality: Overcomes limitations of Atlassian Access and enhances SSO experience with advanced features.
  • Multiple Provider Setup: Allows configuration of multiple provider setups, even on the free plan of Jira Cloud.
