How to generate oauth tokens for JIRA user?

[Joseph Simon Arokiaraj]

Hi All,

I am new to Atlassian products doing POC. Could you please tell me the steps to generate oauth token for JIRA users so that the token can be used to login to JIRA to create the issues programmatically?

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Joseph!

OAuth Request and Access tokens are returned by Service provider (i.e. JIRA). Probably you want to generate public and private keys:

openssl genrsa -out jira.pem 1024
openssl rsa -in jira.pem -pubout -out jira.pub

This diagram shows OAuth flow: http://oauth.net/core/diagram.png
