Hi,
I logged a ticket for support with JIRA and they closed my ticket and told me to ask here:
I went through this “How-to” guide https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/jira-rest-api-oauth-authentication/
however at the end of Step1, part 3 - it says the file config.properties should be created within the target directory.
I have followed this step by step and it does not create the config.properties file, which means I am unable to proceed any further by inputting the private key file into it.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Hi @thomas.fitzgerald,
I just checked this and for me it seems to be working.
Did you run the
java -jar OAuthTutorialClient-1.0.jar requestToken
Command in the target directory before checking for the config.properties file?
Cheers,
Peter

Yes I did run that command but there is no config.properties file which is generated, i cannot see the config.properties at all… I ran a find/grep but still couldn’t find it.
The dev came to this result, I then tried it as well, same result.
Not sure what to do if there is no config.properties file - can/do I create it manually?
Yes that should be possible.
this is the content of my generated config.properties file:
#Mon Mar 05 11:46:39 CET 2018
jira_home=http\://localhost\:8090/jira
consumer_key=<consumer_key>
private_key=<private_key>

Turns out I needed to add sudo before the command…
which now created the config.properties file… silly me
Anyway I have gotten past that now
Thank you for your help
