The Mylyn connector expects a standard JIRA login page. Can you describe in more detail how you single sign-on system works? Our JIRA instance is configured with SiteMinder Single Sign-On and all users have a JIRA default URL page set to https://server:port no/jira Once authenticated,users view the JIRA projects dashboard assigned to them. Thanks Gerin Little more in detail : when a user types in the above JIR URL format, it redirects to Single Sign On Login, where oone has to enter credentials. After a successful login, user views the JIRA dashboard. Thanks Do you know if the single sign-on login page sets a cookie? As of my knowledge, SiteMinder doesnot generate or manaage any cookies - its the specific application which does this I think Any updates on this ? Thanks Gerin Since we do not have access SiteMinder system we are not able to prioritize this request at the moment. If a patch is contributed for SiteMinder support accompanied by a test case I would happy to consider it for inclusion in Mylyn. Just wanted to mention that the missing SSO functionality of Mylyn also prevents my company from using Mylyn. I would rather guess that a lot of companies nowadays are using SSO for protecting their internal sites including e.g. bugzilla. So maybe it is more important to add SSO-functionalities to Mylyn than you might think. At least I would be very happy to see some basic support here :) This is not a siteminder issue alone. We use CAS which seems to use the same style login and we would like to see support for this, too. A hopefully correct explanation of the process: On login you are redirected to another (SSL secured) server with an HTML page similar to the one I will attach in a moment. If you enter your correct credentials there you are redirected to the original service with a token appended to the URL like ?ticket=ST-547-uMsCT01Q5mJhnOih0O1e-cas (Jira then checks if the token is valid for the user against the authentication server, but that is not the interesting bit here.) I can see that this is not trivial to implement, give the html form nature of the login, but it would be very very nice to have. Created attachment 132940 [details]
