IQ Server Realms

IQ Server allows users to be authenticated through various Identity provider services (i.e security realms).

Some IQ Server REST API endpoints accept one or more realm identifiers listed below.

Realms

ID

Description

Internal Realm

Internal

The default realm is where users are added directly to the IQ server.

User Token Realm

UserToken

This is a secondary realm in that it requires a user to identify with their user token, which is generated after identifying with a different primary realm.

Given a user token, it identifies the corresponding user using the IQ Server database and any external resources that may be needed depending on which primary realm the user generated their user token with.

LDAP Realm

LDAPServerID

This realm identifies users using one or more LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers

see LDAP Integration.

SAML Realm

SAML

This realm identifies users using the SAML Integration.

Crowd Realm

Crowd

This realm identifies users using the Atlassian Crowd Integration Configuration.

Reverse Proxy Realm

ReverseProxy

This realm identifies users via usernames sent in request headers from a reverse proxy server if configured. In this case the reverse proxy server should check user credentials instead of IQ Server.
