JIRA DVCS Redirect URL Will Not Generate?

[Sam Chan]

Trying to integrate GitLab and Jira using Jira DVCS by following Linking GitLab accounts | Administering Jira applications Data Center and Server 9.4 | Atlassian Documentation 

I'm stuck at generating a redirect url after populating the authorize endpoint and token endpoint. Following the instructions for authorize endpoint, <Gitlab instance with https:>/oauth/authorize and for token endpoint, <Gitlab instance with https:>/oauth/token

The "generate" button greyed out after I click on it and no redirect url generated. I'm wondering if my Jira instance could be the issue. It's in a test environment using http, not setup for https yet. Could this be the issue?

I looked into the console and saw a 400 error: GET http://jira.instance.com:8080/rest/oauth2-client/latest/config/get-redirect-uri/?authorizationEndpoint=https://gitlab.instance.com/oauth/authorize 400 (Bad Request)

Looking into the dump log, the "{"errors":["Due to security risks OAuth 2 is not allowed with an insecure connection. Please ensure that your server is using HTTPS and that your application base URL is configured appropriately."],"fieldErrors":{}}" 

Haven't tested this using https for my Jira Instance yet but this makes my guess highly probable about needing a https instance for Jira.
