Note: If customer is using multiple Jira instances (such as Jira Server and Jira Cloud), then both instances will need to be moved to OAuth authentication. In release 6.3, we will support multiple Jira instances with different authentication types.
Step 1: Perform updates on the Zephyr instance
SaaS customers:
Contact support to ensure the necessary changes have been done in your system.
*** CHECK: Is there a way to confirm this is done?On-Prem customers:
Support will guide you during a call to perform the necessary changes in your system.
These include setting the Jira Cloud configuration settings to OAuth and setting the private key for communication with Jira.
Step 2: Using a Jira Admin account, create an application for Zephyr in Jira
Step 2a: Configure the app as a consumer in JIRA, using the following application links:
- In JIRA, navigate to the cog icon (
) → Applications → Application links (click on the shortcut dot (.) and then enter in the application link).
Step 2b: Paste the public key below in the "Public Key" field in Jira:

Step 3: Configure Zephyr to connect to Jira via OAuth
Step 3a: Log into the Zephyr instance → Click on Administration → Click on Defect Tracking → Set the Defect Tracking with the admin credentials from JIRA
...
Step 3b: Go to the created project → Select a release → Click on Defect Tracking
(Note: The error message below is expected as there are no defect users)
Step 3c: Click on the "Allow" button in the Jira OAuth page
...
Once the external DTS login is saved, you have officially integrated JIRA Cloud via OAuth.

Steps to Configure JIRA with SAML 2.0 SSO:
Procedure:
In order to configure JIRA with SAML 2.0 SSO please use the following steps:
1. Install JIRA
2. Register at OKTA and purchase a license and log into OKTA.
- Enter your username: XXXXX
- Enter your password: XXXXX
3. In JIRA, click on Addons
4. Search for SAML SingleSignOn for JIRA and install it.
- Once installed, it will show the SAML SingleSignOn on the left hand menu.
5. Log into OKTA. After logging in, click on Admin on the right hand side of the page.
Afterwards, click on "Add Applications" and then click on "Create New App".
Select SAML 2.0 in the "Create New App" window and then click on create.
6. Fill in the Single Sign On and audience URL that we took from Jira and configure the first name, last name, and email.
7. Once the app is done, it will generate the metadata URL. Afterwards, copy the metadata URL and configure it in the JIRA application.
8. Click on next after clicking on the import.
9. Select the User creation and update options.
10. Before testing the application, create the same user as an SSO user in the JIRA application and assign it to the JIRA software and start the test by copying the URL in the new window.
11. It will now take you to the OKTA login page.
12. Enter the credential and test is successful.
13. Configure the additional login and logout redirection URLs.
14. Configure the redirection URLs so that the user can login with the SSO credentials as well as the normal JIRA credentials.
15. Now, the user can login with both SSO and JIRA credentials.
Steps to Integrate JIRA SSO with Zephyr OAuth:
Procedure:
In order to integrate JIRA SSO with Zephyr OAuth, please use the following steps:
1. Set the OAuth authentication in the database.
- Go to the database → Select ITCC → Run the below command:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
insert into defect_preference values ('jira.authType', 'OAUTH', 'OAUTH' ,0,1,0,'General Configuration', 4 ,'JIRA OAuth Authentication') |
- Set up this flag to enable OAuth authentication (this could be Null or change OAUTH to BASIC to enable basic authentication) - this enables you to use OAuth of the defect user authentication. This row can either be deleted or the value can be changed to "BASIC" to enable basic authentication (default).
2. Configure the application as an OAuth consumer

Generate an RSA public/private key pair:
- In your terminal, run the following openssl commands
| Code Block |
|---|
openssl genrsa -out jira_privatekey.pem 1024
openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -x509 -key jira_privatekey.pem -out jira_publickey.cer -days 365
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in jira_privatekey.pem -out jira_privatekey.pcks8
openssl x509 -pubkey -noout -in jira_publickey.cer > jira_publickey.pem |
3a. Configure the app as a consumer in JIRA, using the following application links:
- In JIRA, navigate to the cog icon () → Applications → Application links (click on the shortcut dot (.) and then enter in the application link).
3b. Changes to do in Zephyr
- Go to the Zephyr Installation Directory → Navigate to the classes folder → Edit the applicationContext-resource.xml (path: C:\Program\Files\Zephyr\tomcat\webapps\flex\WEB-INF\classes).
- Update the consumer and private key
4. Once the above changes are made, restart the Zephyr server.
