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 .
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:
- Log in to your Jira Assets Cloud site.
- 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.)
- After selecting Create choose OAuth 2.0 integration, then name the application. This creates the application.
- To add OAuth 2.0 functionality to your application navigate to Authorization then select Add for the OAuth 2.0 (3LO) authorization type.
- Navigate to Permissions and add the Jira API to your application .
- Select Configure, on the Jira API to add the desired scopes to your application .
- 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.
