Jira OAuth Authentication setup

1.Generate Public/Private keys

Generate private key with openssl

openssl genrsa -out dummy-genrsa.pem 2048

Generate public key with openssl

openssl rsa -in dummy-genrsa.pem -pubout

2. Create incoming Application link

The first step is to register a new consumer in JIRA. This is done through the Application Links administration screens in JIRA. Create a new Application Link. When creating the Application Link use a placeholder URL or the correct URL to your client, if your client can be reached via HTTP and choose the Generic Application type. After this Application Link has been created, edit the configuration and go to the incoming authentication configuration screen and select OAuth. Enter in this the public key and the consumer key which your client will use when making requests to JIRA. After you have entered all the information click OK and ensure OAuth authentication is enabled.
