Integration of Jira Work Management and Jira Software

[Jan Marks]

I would like to know if Jira Software and Jira Work Management are somehow connected. 

Our dev team and marketing team are already using Jira Software. I was wondering if our sales people and our leadership team would become users of Jira Work Management, could they share tasks and collaborate with colleagues who are using Jira Software?

Or are both systems completely different, disconnected applications?

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Yes, you've understood it correctly.  It opens a connection to itself and the gadgets are given the same session information (i.e. your login) as the browser gives to the main connection

So the connection is created from the JIRA server to the baseurl and not from the client (browser) to the baseurl?

I see 2 problems here:

1) In our scenario the baseurl points to a reverse proxy which handles corporate authentication. We are not using JIRA authentication. If a gadget want's to connect to the baseurl, then all cookies must be sent - otherwise it will face a login dialog, which it can't handle.

2) We have two domains for one Jira. I know that this is not recommended but it is like it is. How does the gadget get the baseurl? Is the baseurl build on the client?

It's quite common to go through a reverse proxy like that - I've not run into problems with authentication of gadgets, but I don't know how complex the authentication stuff might get. 

The gadgets will take the base url from the application configuration - it's a single field in the general configuration. Your second domain won't work properly.
