Generating public and consumer keys

You must first generate a public key and a consumer key for your project that is available on HCL OneTest Server to configure Jira.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:
  • You must have installed Jira on your computer. For more information about installing Jira, refer to Installing Jira software.
  • You must be able to access the Jira server from HCL OneTest Server.

About this task

After you add the URL of the Jira server to your project, you can generate both the public key and the consumer key from HCL OneTest Server. You can then share both the keys with the administrator of Jira server.

Procedure

  1. Log in to HCL OneTest Server, if you are not already logged in.
  2. Open your project.
  3. Expand Configure, and then click Project.
  4. Click the Change Management System tab, and then click New System.
    The Configure Change Management System page is displayed.
  5. Enter the URL of Jira server in the Change Management System link field, and then click Add.
    A public key and a consumer key are generated and displayed on the Configure Tracking System page.

Results

You have successfully generated both the public and consumer keys.

What to do next

You can then click Copy to copy both the keys and save the keys in your local file. You can then share both the keys with the administrator of the Jira server to setup an application link in Jira.

The administrator of the Jira server then sets up the application link in Jira by using both the keys that you shared. After the application link set up is complete, you can then configure the Jira server for your project on HCL OneTest Server. See Configuring the Jira server.
