Step 1: Perform updates on the Zephyr instance

SaaS customers:

Contact support to ensure the necessary changes have been done in your system.

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 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)

Step 3c: Click on the "Allow" button in the Jira OAuth page

Step 3d: Copy the Jira verification code into Zephyr to finalize configuration.

Once the external DTS login is saved, you have officially integrated JIRA Cloud via OAuth.
