Okta Jira Authenticator Version History

Current Okta Jira JAR authenticators (toolkits) allow customers to integrate with supported iterations of these versions of the Jira On-Premises (server) application:

Version 7.x.x and later

Version 6.x.x and earlier

Toolkit Support Deprecation Policy

In alignment with the Atlassian support End of Life policy, beginning July 15, 2017, Okta will discontinue toolkit support for all versions of the Jira and Confluence on-premises app versions that are more than two years old. Okta Customer Support won't investigate issues related to the Jira/Confluence on-premises versions that are classified as End of Life by Atlassian. Likewise, Okta will deprecate Okta toolkit versions that only support deprecated Jira/Confluence on-premises versions.

For example, Atlassian released Jira 7.0 in October 2015. They ended support for Jira 7.0.x in October 2017. Okta discontinued support for the JIRA on-premises toolkit version 2.0.0 in October 2017.

To determine when Atlassian plans to discontinue support for a specific version of a Jira or Confluence on-premises app, see the Atlassian Support End Of Life Policy page.

Notes:

  • Your End of Life version of the Jira/Confluence on-premises app will continue to work with deprecated versions of the Okta toolkits. If you experience any difficulties, Okta recommends that you switch to a newer version of the on-premises app and download and install the latest Okta Jira Authenticator (SettingsDownloads).

  • Okta doesn't support the combined deployment of the Jira/Confluence Cloud and Jira/Confluence on-premises apps. Such support would require Okta to test its Jira/Confluence on-premises authenticators with all major and minor releases of the Jira/Confluence Cloud and on-premises apps. On a case-by-case base, Okta may investigate issues with new and untested minor release versions of the Jira Cloud or on-premises app.

  • There's a known limitation for Okta authenticator integration with Jira Service Desk: Okta authenticator can't be configured to authenticate Customer Portal URLs. Jira Service Desk is only tested for user agents (Tech support). Deep-links for Service Desk won't work for regular users.
