How do I link my client code without URL with JIRA for OAuth

Question

Hi,

I have written a piece of java code to create issues on JIRA. I have seen the OAuth related information once I got authorization error as I was using BASIC Auth previously.

So on OAuth related article provided by Atlassian(https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-example-oauth-authentication-6291692/),  It is written that first step is to configure JIRA.  Here I need to create new application link, while doing so I need to provide correct URL of my client.

But my question is, my client code is not hosted anywhere,so my client code has no URL. Then How can I provide the link my Client code with JIRA to automatically create issues on JIRA through my client code .

**I am using JIRA server(latest version) with administrator access not cloud.

Thanks,

Abhinaba.

Hello @abhinabamal ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As mentioned in the documentation you are pointing to, you don't have to provide the correct URL for your client, you can also just use a placeholder/dummy URL if your client cannot be reached via HTTP:

When creating the Application Link use a placeholder URL or the correct URL to your client, if your client can be reached via HTTP and choose the Generic Application type.

Have a nice weekend!
