Medium Description
This might better belong in JIRA but as it affects both JIRA and Confluence I suspect it may be related to Crowd implementation in these products.
If you create the following user setup:
- Crowd - brendan.haire@atlassian.com
- JIRA - bhaire2
Then you enable SSO and hook up Crowd and JIRA and alias brendan.haire@atlassian to be bhaire2 in JIRA you are able to login to Crowd and then have SSO across to JIRA.
However, if you attempt to login to JIRA with brendan.haire@atlassian.com (rather than the actual user name bhaire2) you are presented with the following error (see attached "Screen Shot 2012-04-13 at 4.06.14 PM.png"):
