API Token generation

[romeo]

We are integrating our SOAR platform (Siemplify) to Jira server. Once of the SOAR requirements was to generate an API token for authentication.

With this, can you give us support on how to do the above?

Appreciate your assistance.

Hi Romeo,

Jira server doesn't support API Tokens like Jira cloud, but there are apps available on the marketplace for this functionality.

I work with miniOrange, one of the marketplace vendors who provide such an app.

You can try out the app for free here:

API Token Authentication for Jira 

Once you install the app and click on configure, you'll find the API Tokens tab where you can create API tokens.

The end users can click on the Avatar >> Configure API key to create API tokens.

You'll need an oauth token - see https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/integrating-with-oauth-2-0-1013845729.html

Hello Nic, 

We are currently running Jira version 8.5.0. This means we are not able to implement the link you provided?

Ah, ok, you'll need the older version of the doc - still the same thing, you'll need to get an Oauth token.

Hi Nic,

Yes, we have the old version 8.5 and we need to implement oAuth to this server hosted on our environment to issue API token. 

Can you assist on this?

Regards,

Romeo
