2.1.1 Registering the Client Application

Registering a client application (Jira connector) with the target system is the first step that is performed before creating an application instance so that the connector can access Jira REST APIs. It also involves generating the API token for authenticating to the target system and setting the permissions and scopes for the client application. Pre-provisioning involves performing the following tasks on the target system.

Register your client application with Jira Marketplace to provide secure sign in and authorization for your services. To do so:
  1. Sign into Jira marketplace.
  2. Select Manage account from the top right.
  3. Select Security from the left side.
  4. Then click on Create and Manage API Tokens.
  5. It will redirect you to the API Tokens interface.
  6. Click on Create API Token.
  7. Pop-up will appear asking for the Label of the token, give accordingly and hit Create button. That will create your API Token.

Note:

API Token will act as a password for your Basic Auth. And User name will be your Login Id.
