The following figure illustrates an example SSO process flow.
Processing Steps
The user navigates to an Atlassian application, such as Jira or Confluence.
The user is redirected to PingFederate server to perform SSO.
After the user logs in PingFederate creates a unique identifier and associates it with
the user’s attributes.
PingFederate redirects the user back to Atlassian. The URL contains a reference ID
which is used to request user attributes from PingFederate in the next step.
The authenticator issues a request (which contains the identifier obtained from the
previous step) to PingFederate’s Reference ID adapter. After PingFederate ensures the
identifier is valid and hasn’t timed out, the user’s attributes are returned to the
Authenticator and the session is created.
