integrate Plastic SCM with JIRA's Google Apps for Business
We are signed up to Atlassian's services like JIRA and Confluence on their cloud. We also use Google Apps for Business. We were hoping to use Google as our central employee/user management place seeing as we can easily login to JIRA etc after linking up the Google accounts. However I found out that Plastic SCM doesn't yet support this integration with Google. I found this frustrating because I created a bunch of tasks for our Unity developers but when they went to submit their work via the Unity Plastic SCM plugin they weren't able to login using the Google-provisioned accounts. This meant we couldn't link a submitted piece of work with the JIRA task.

Never got anyone else interested on this, I’m afraid :-( And only 1 vote. We have to prioritize.

I would vote on this if it weren't declined. Might as well leave it open if the only reason for not doing it (yet) is lack of votes. If someone like Simon is an early adopter and then it becomes a lot more popular later to want to do the early adopter's suggestion, it would be messy to have to open a duplicate suggestion. I currently have multiple clients who use JIRA Cloud with Google SSO.

Google auth is good for web apps, but not so good for GUI apps since it means we would have to launch a browser to authenticate. This is pretty doable from the client side, but the server side is not a web app at all.
We'll give it a second thought and try to figure out what to do.
