Configure the Jira Cloud Connector

MicroStrategy does not support Jira Server.

Register the Jira Connector

For official Jira documentation, click here.

1. Visit the System dashboard page on your Jira application.
2. Choose Jira Settings > Products > Application links.

   

3. Enter a name for the connection and click Create new link.

   
   

4. Click Continue.

   

5. Enter an Application Name and select the Create Incoming Link checkbox.
6. Click Continue.

   

7. Give the application link a Consumer Key and Consumer Name of your choice.

   You need to provide this Consumer Key when setting up the MicroStrategy Jira Connector.

   

8. Generate an RSA public/private key pair for the application link.

   It is recommended to use the following bash commands in your terminal to create the necessary key files in a location of your choosing:

   Copy

   openssl genrsa -out jira_privatekey.pem 1024
   openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -x509 -key jira_privatekey.pem -out jira_publickey.cer -days 365
   openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in jira_privatekey.pem -out jira_privatekey.pkcs8
   openssl x509 -pubkey -noout -in jira_publickey.cer  > jira_publickey.pem

9. Open the generated jira_publickey.pem file with any text editor and copy the string value between -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- and -----END PUBLIC KEY-----. Paste the string value in Public Key and click Continue.

   

Deploy the Connector

1. Return to the Community Connectors Setup page in MicroStrategy Web.

   

2. Open the Jira Cloud setup and enter the required information.
3. Set the Oauth1 Callback URI to https://<<YOUR_DOMAIN>>/CommunityConnectors/requestAccessToken.
4. Open the jira_privatekey.pkcs8 file you generated in step 8 of the registration with any text editor and copy the string value between -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----and -----END PRIVATE KEY----- to Client Secret.

   

5. Click Deploy. Your connector is ready to be deployed. See Deploy Connectors to MicroStrategy Web.
