    I work for a UK higher education institution. You may well have a point about SAML, but the UK education community is proceeding full speed ahead with federated access management (essentially Shibboleth, but that's not quite the official position). Right now, I would like to be able to easily Shibbolise Confluence and JIRA. By round about 2008, it'll be a purchasing requirement. Crowd potentially solves an important problem for us (as well as being Atlassian customers, we are Jive Software customers), but I am in that 2% of customers who need SAML. By the way, on your list of customers here, Universities make up quite a lot more than 2%.

      Hi Miles,

      Just a quick note - I believe that Internet2 is currently working on integrating Confluence with Shibboleth, which you may be interested in:

    Hi Ernest

    Thanks for the link! I am still in the market, though, for a drop in "Education's favourite Java web-applications" SSO tool with Shibboleth integration.

    Cheers
