Native Single Sign-On in Atlassian Crowd

Integrate multiple Identity Providers directly with Crowd. This will allow Crowd to serve as the sole integration point with the IdP, acting as a bridge between the IdP and other Atlassian Data Center products. Context: Previously, Crowd offered an Entra ID integration that synchronized users from Entra ID directories, enabling them to authenticate to Crowd. However, this feature required disabling Entra ID’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). With Microsoft’s announcement that MFA will soon be mandatory for all Entra ID customers, organizations using this integration must now redesign their setups and adopt native SSO functionality to integrate with Entra ID.
