Force the connection on a Jira instance
From the Organisation tab, the administrator can choose to force the connection on a Jira instance.
From the Integration management section choose the option Forced connection on a given instance.
The editing dashboard is displayed to enter the Jira instance URL of your choice.
If Klaxoon does not recognize the Jira URL or the version of Jira is unknown, you will be asked to select between two authentication protocols.
Click on Next
If Klaxoon detects the server version based on Jira URL, continue the configuration.
1 For OAuth1 on Jira Cloud and Server DataCenter (version higher than v8.22)
The configuration page of the integration between Klaxoon and Jira is displayed.
Click on Connect if you are the Jira administrator, or ask your Jira Admin to send you these information.
The Jira administrator can find these information in the Jira settings:
In the tabProducts, click on Application links then, on CREATE A LINK
The link creation page is displayed, enter the URL https://app.klaxoon.com in URL Application
Click on CONTINUE
A pop-up is displayed, enter the name if the application with "Klaxoon Board":
Click on CONTINUE
The application link is created
Click at the end line of the "Klaxoon Board" application on the three horizontal dots
Click on EDIT

When the configuration is complete, a green tick appears on the gear wheel
2 For OAuth2 on Server DataCenter (version higher than v8.22)
The configuration page of the integration between Klaxoon and Jira is displayed.
Step 1:Once the link between applications is created, setup the application link between Jira and Klaxoon.
The Jira administrator can find these information from their Jira settings.
Step 2: There are two options:
The automatic mode
The manual mode: in this case, simply copy the link provided and forward it to the to the Jira administrator to create the associated webhook
The creation of the webhook remains dependent on the Jira administrator role (or not) of the person performing the Jira import. The user on the Board remains free to choose the Jira instance on which they want to import and is autonomous.
The Jira administrator finds the information required at step 1 in his Jira settings:
Create a link
Select the type of application you want to connect to:
Atlassian product: link to Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, Crowd, Fisheye et Crucible
External application: link to an external application using OAuth 2.0

Incoming : the application can access data from Jira
Outgoing : Jira can access data from the application
Click on CONTINUE
From the Application link tab, enter the application name "Klaxoon Board" and the redirection URL
Click on SAVE
