Dear Atlassian community,
I am attempting to use AppLinks to create an Oauth connection between my application and JIRA. However, it says that I need to input a client/secret key? Do I just generate one myself, or is this supposed to be given to me?
I am familiar with using Google Oauth sign in, but in that case, the client and secret keys were automatically provided. Any insight for an amateur developer would be appreciated!
It’s been a while, but I had success using the code provided in the JIRA REST API Example - OAuth authentication tutorial. You’ll want to download the rest-oauth-client-1.0-sources.jar file, and adapt the code therein for your purposes.
The tutorial gets you to enter “hardcoded-consumer” as the consumer key, and a really long string of gibberish as the consumer secret (provided in the tutorial).
external application. It is a custom one I am creating myself, and is not tied to any other existing product.
