CData Python Connector for Jira Assets

Build 26.0.9655

Creating a Custom OAuth Application

NOTE: Jira Assets supports OAuth 2.0 only.

CData embeds OAuth Application Credentials with CData branding that can be used when connecting via a desktop application or headless application.

You may choose to use your own OAuth Application Credentials when you want to

  • control branding of the Authentication Dialog
  • control the redirect URI that the application redirects the user to after the user authenticates
  • customize the permissions that you are requesting from the user

To create a custom OAuth application on your Jira Assets cloud instance you need to follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to your Jira Assets Cloud site.
  2. Navigate to application management at https://developer.atlassian.com/myapps/ (not your OAuth credentials at yoursitename.atlassian.net/secure/admin/oauth-credentials, which is for self-hosted tools.)
  3. After selecting Create choose OAuth 2.0 integration, then name the application. This creates the application.
  4. To add OAuth 2.0 functionality to your application navigate to Authorization then select Add for the OAuth 2.0 (3LO) authorization type.
  5. Navigate to Permissions and add the Jira API to your application .
  6. Select Configure, on the Jira API to add the desired scopes to your application .
  7. You'll additionally need to set up your Callback URL. Navigate to Authorization > OAuth 2.0 (3LO) > Configure. Enter a URL that is accessible to your application and save the changes.
