There are 2 ways to connector to Jira. However, the authentication method depends on whether you’re connecting to an on premise instance of Jira or a cloud based instance of Jira.
Jira Cloud OAuth
JIRA CLOUD
This Connector is for a Cloud instance of Jira only. It interacts with Jira through the Rest API version 3.O Auth Authentication for Cloud Jira requires an app to authenticate and interact with. Follow the steps above to set up your cloud app. Important:SSL REQUIRED
You will ALWAYS need to enable SSL on your Federation Services instance in order to use OAuth 2.0 for Authorisation. In this case, you would replace the localhost with your Federation Services server host and replace the 9443 with your port (if you’re not using a publicly facing DNS).
