How to make Jira OAuth redirect to my App after authentication

Question

I added Jira OAuth to my webapp following docs at https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/oauth/ . I used sample code they provided in that article.  Here is how it is working now:

1. Use will click `Login with Jira` button on webapp.

2. Backend will generate a token and open a new tab with URL something like `https://jira.company.com/plugins/servlet/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=ec3dj4byySM5ek3XW7gl7f4oc99obAlo`.

3. Above link will take user to Jira for authorization. When user click `Approve`. He will be given a verification code like 'qTJkPi'. He will submit this back to webapp.

4. Backend will exchange token (step-2) and verification code (step-3) with jira for a `Access Token`.

Here user has to copy the verification code manually and submit to webapp. Can we make Jira automatically redirect user to Webapp after authentication along with verification code?

HI I have answer to this as I have faced same problem and managed to solve this issue.

In you backend implementation, like in my case for java ,

You need to set callbackurl to your url instead of "oob" as mentioned in jira server document.

This will redirect to your url after authorisation along with verification code in URL.

OAuthGetTemporaryToken class has field "callback" which you need to set as custom url.
