Configuring the Jira server

After the administrator of the Jira server sets up the application link in Jira by using both the public and consumer keys, you can configure the Jira server for your project on HCL OneTest™ Server where the tests are available.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Generated a public key and a consumer key on HCL OneTest™ Server. See Generating public and consumer keys.
Shared both the keys with the administrator of the Jira server to set up an application link in Jira.

About this task

When you share both the keys with the administrator of the Jira server, the administrator of the Jira server sets up the application link in Jira.

After the completion of setting up of the application link by the administrator of the Jira server, you can then open the Change Management System tab of your project and complete the authorization process to configure the Jira server for your project on HCL OneTest™ Server.
