Connection Properties
The connection properties are the various options that can be used to establish a connection. This section provides a complete list of the options you can configure in the connection settings for this provider. Click the links for further details.
For more information on establishing a connection, see Getting Started.

| Password | Specifies the password of the authenticating user account. |
| APIToken | APIToken of the currently authenticated user. |
| PAT | Personal Access Token of the currently authenticated user. |
| Property | Description |
| SSOLoginURL | The identity provider's login URL. |
| SSOProperties | Additional properties required to connect to the identity provider, formatted as a semicolon-separated list. |
| SSOExchangeUrl | The URL used for consuming the SAML response and exchanging it for service specific credentials. |

| SSOAppPassword | App Password used with SSO for IdPs that require it. |
| Property | Description |
| InitiateOAuth | Specifies the process for obtaining or refreshing the OAuth access token, which maintains user access while an authenticated, authorized user is working. |
| OAuthVersion | The version of OAuth being used. |
| OAuthClientId | Specifies the client Id that was assigned the custom OAuth application was created. (Also known as the consumer key.) This ID registers the custom application with the OAuth authorization server. |
| OAuthClientSecret | Specifies the client secret that was assigned when the custom OAuth application was created. (Also known as the consumer secret ). This secret registers the custom application with the OAuth authorization server. |
| OAuthAccessToken | A token received after authentication to the OAuth network, granting the user access. The access token is used in place of the user's login ID and password, which stay on the server. |
| OAuthAccessTokenSecret | The OAuth access token secret for connecting using OAuth. |
| Scope | This determines the scopes that the OAuth application requests from Jira. The default scopes are: read:jira-work manage:jira-project manage:jira-configuration read:jira-user write:jira-work manage:jira-data-provider read:board-scope:jira-software write:board-scope:jira-software read:board-scope.admin:jira-software read:epic:jira-software read:sprint:jira-software write:sprint:jira-software delete:sprint:jira-software read:project:jira read:issue-details:jira read:jql:jira offline_access. |
| OAuthSettingsLocation | Specifies the location of the settings file where OAuth values are saved. Storing OAuth settings in a central location avoids the need for users to enter OAuth connection properties manually each time they log in. It also enables credentials to be shared across connections or processes. |
| CallbackURL | The URL users return to after authenticating to Jira via OAuth. |
| CloudId | The Cloud Id for the Atlassian site that was authorized. |
| OAuthVerifier | Specifies a verifier code returned from the OAuthAuthorizationURL . Used when authenticating to OAuth on a headless server, where a browser can't be launched. Requires both OAuthSettingsLocation and OAuthVerifier to be set. |
| AuthToken | The authentication token used to request and obtain the OAuth Access Token. |
| AuthKey | The authentication secret used to request and obtain the OAuth Access Token. |
| OAuthRefreshToken | Gets and refreshes the currently-active OAuth Access Token. |
| OAuthExpiresIn | Specifies the duration in seconds, of an OAuth Access Token's lifetime. The token can be reissued to keep access alive as long as the user keeps working. |
| OAuthTokenTimestamp | Displays a Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds that shows how long ago the current Access Token was created. |
| CertificateStoreType | The type of certificate store used with Jira Private Application authentication. |
| CertificateStore | The certificate store used for Jira authentication. |
