Provide a way to obtain Crowd Information from applications

XMLWordPrintable

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      For example, in JIRA, we would like to include Crowd runtime information on our System Information page, to make diagnosing some support cases easier.

      Currently, the best we can do to determine if Crowd is being used is:

      • obtain an instance of a CredentialsProvider
      • check that the class name contains "Crowd" (to indicate a Crowd implementation)

      Some extra information would useful, such as:

      • current version
      • ...?

            How would you want Crowd to report this information to JIRA?

            Happy to implement this, once we know how

            You could define an interface that JIRA and Crowd share (maybe UserManagementInfo) and do a Class.forName/reflection to try and get an instance of CrowdInfo.

            It'd be cleaner if the user manager/provider had a getInfo method which user management implementations could implement.

            One thing that Anton pointed out when discussing this feature, is how do we make it available to JIRA without having to ship the Crowd client libraries?

            Some other useful info to include:

            • current version of client
            • current version of server (would require a call to Crowd)
            • server url
            • application name used to authenticate with Crowd
            • current application authentication status
