Bamboo and SASL Authentication
Platform Notice: Data Center Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the Data Center platform.
Note that this KB was created for the Data Center version of the product. Data Center KBs for non-Data-Center-specific features may also work for Server versions of the product, however they have not been tested. Support for Server* products ended on February 15th 2024. If you are running a Server product, you can visit the Atlassian Server end of support announcement to review your migration options.
*Except Fisheye and Crucible
Bamboo uses SVNkit (native java library) for Subversion connectivity.
The SASL authentication mechanisms that are supported by Active Directory are documented on MSDN.
Our recommendation is to use use CRAM-MD5 authentication which is supported when Active Directory is being used, over Plain as it doen't work with SVNKit.
