I'm trying to integrate Jira 4.4.3 with Jenkins 1.456 and I'm completely stuck. Jenkins keeps getting a 403 error when it tries to communicate with Jira. This is odd because both are using the same Crowd server for authentication, hosted on the same server as the Jira instance.
I've tried adding an Application Link between Jira and Jenkins, but the process baffles me. Jenkins can only be added as a generic application using OAuth for incoming authentication. I have been unable to get Jira to accept a Public Key for the Jenkins app. What little information I've found suggests that the Public Key should be a standard 1024-bit RSA public key generated with sha1. I generated a public key for the server but when I paste it into Jira's Oauth configuration screen I always get this error: "Must be a valid public key. java.security.InvalidKeyException: IOException: algid parse error, not a sequence".
Another issue is that I have been completely unable to figure out how to obtain a Consumer Key from the Jenkins application. I am starting to suspect that Jenkins simply doesn't support OAuth.
