Accessing Users-Data from External Directory without Crowd

Jira Development Jira Server

Hello everybody,

I need to get User-Data from an External Directory (LDAP) and while trying to use the DirectoryManager for doing that, I encountered a problem with using the Crowd maven repositories (Atlassian Crowd Core API or Atlassian Crowd Core).
Usually I get a couple of FileNotFoundExceptions for several JAR files (idb.jar, classes12.jar, p6psy.jar, commons-cli.jar, jts1_0.jar, carol.jar and jonas_timer.jar).

That leads me to believe that I actually would need to have Crowd installed on the Server. However, Crowd is NOT going to be available on the final JIRA Server.

Now my question would be:

Is here any other way to get data from External Directories or did I just do something wrong while writing the POM(or something) ?

What I added to the POM

Everything I added to the POM

Best regards and thank you in advance.

You don’t need to add the crowd dependencies. What are you trying to accomplish?
