In companies with thousands of employees, there are several internal tools and systems. There are tools to track time, leave management, and intranet portals. It's very difficult to manage user accounts on multiple applications; companies use LDAP servers for user management, where a single user account works on more than one tool. JIRA also supports integration with LDAP. This is a great feature. It really helps system administrators to manage users. Apart from LDAP, we will also discuss how to connect JIRA to another JIRA instance for user management as well as for Crowd, which is a single sign-on software from Atlassian.
