FishEye 1.6 Documentation

Index

Although FishEye always maintains a list of users internally, you can have FishEye authenticate and authorise users against one or more external authentication sources.

Be aware that you can force usernames to become lowercase on import.

Single External Authentication Source

To set an external authentication source, click 'Users/Security' on the 'Admin Menu'. Only one external authentication source can be setup and each repository has the choice of authenticating against that or the internal login. To change authentication sources, you will need to remove the settings that are already configured, by clicking the 'Remove' link. You will then be presented with the option to add a different authentication. FishEye currently supports:

Multiple External Authentication Sources

The recommended approach to authenticating against more than one authentication source is to implement single signon (SSO). You can integrate FishEye with an existing SSO solution, or add Atlassian Crowd integration to combine users and authentication from multiple external user repositories. Crowd connectors are already available for all Atlassian products, LDAP, Active Directory and Subversion:
