Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket offer anonymous users to view public content without having an authenticated session.

Enable SSO-Verified Anonymeos Access in KSSO to allow users who do not have Jira or Confluence accounts to access JIRA/Confluence anonymously while still benefiting from the security features of Single Sign-On. This enables your organization to save on license costs while maintaining secure access to all your content.

SSO-verification means that the users are not accessing Jira or Confluence truly anonymously since their identity is known. A session cookie is created the same way as in a regular login, except that the session is not related to a local user in the host product. With this feature enabled, it's important to note that truly public content is restricted. Accessing any content now mandates users to have an active session, ensuring a more controlled and secure environment.

Configure SSO-verified Anonymous Access in Kantega SSO Enterprise

Prerequisite

Anonymous access must be enabled in Jira/Confluence for this feature to work.

Examples, anonymous access in Jira and Confluence

Users that require editing rights will have to be provisioned with a license group in Jira/Confluence. This way only the users needing to edit will consume a license while those not created in Jira/Confluence will be given an anonymous access session as fallback.

Configuring related settings in Kantega SSO Enterprise

The Just-in-time provisioning settings affect how SSO-verified Anonymous Access works since both features are related to the presence of user accounts. If Just-in-time provisioning is set to create users, this will take precedence over anonymous access.

The Group Memberships settings allow configuring conditions for when the user is created. This can be configured fluently with SSO-verified Anonymous Access. For example, you can configure a policy in which users and group memberships are created automatically for all users logging in and belonging to the editor group in your identity provider. In contrast, all other users will fall back to “anonymous access” after logging in with SSO.
