You may want to:

• Test single sign-on to confirm the setup before you enforce customers to log in from your help center..

• Troubleshoot your SAML SSO configuration so you can log in and troubleshoot your SSO or identity provider integration.

1. Go to Settings > Products.

2. Under Jira Service Management, select Authentication.

6. Open a new incognito window in your browser.

7. Paste the URL into the incognito window.

Confirm you are able to log in. If you experience a login error, contact your site admin to adjust the identity provider’s SAML configuration at admin.atlassian.com and then test again using the steps above.
