FAQ
-
Does the app synchronize non-licensed users?
Yes, the app synchronizes all users within a Jira instance, including those without licenses (this includes portal-restricted users).
-
Why there is a missing attribute in Jira from Active Directory?
Several reasons may prevent Active Directory (AD) attribute values from displaying in Jira.
- Verify the technical user has read permission on the fields required for display.
- Ensure the field mappings between AD and Jira are accurate.
- Consult the Common AD/LDAP Field Mappings documentation for reference.
-
Why data is not getting updated in AD?
To update data in AD using the Update Data post function, ensure it’s placed under the “Creates issue originally” step.
-
How to access the data directly in the Jira database?
To access synchronized data from AD, directly access the Jira database tables:
ao_9bfd01_configuration (connection configuration)
ao_9bfd01_ad_cf_conf (custom fields configuration)
ao_9bfd01_field_ad (synchronized fields)
ao_9bfd01_group_ad (group DNs)
ao_9bfd01_user_ad (synchronized users and their DNs)
ao_9bfd01_user_attr (synchronized user data) -
Converting user in AD to Jira user
Some fields in Active Directory contain information about a user’s object. Enable the “Contains user” flag on the field in the connection settings to convert this information into a link to the user’s profile in Jira.
-
How to find user distinguished name?
Use an LDAP Query to search Active Directory for the distinguished name (DN) of a user. For example, execute a PowerShell command to find the DN of a specific user.
