In the Custom HCM Integration window that displays, enter a suitable Name, Description and upload a logo of Jira and click Save.
Click on the Jira tile added in the previous step to configure the API authorization methods, endpoints and LDAP data mapping.
In the Authorization section, select OAuth 2.0 as the Authorization Type.
Header Prefix: Specify a prefix value for your authorization header.
OAuth 2.0 Grant Type: The Authorization code is the default grant type.
Note: The client's credentials grantType is also supported.
Callback URL: You will be redirected to the Callback URL after authentication. This should be registered with the API provider.
Auth URL: Specify the Authorization Endpoint URL.
Access Token URL: Enter the OAuth server URL where the application can exchange the Authorization code for an Access Token.
Client ID and Client Secret: Enter a valid ID and its secret key.
Scope: Specify the data you would like to access.
- Click Advanced Options and choose the headers and query parameters from the Add To drop-down menu.
6. In the API Endpoint Configuration section, add the following:
Endpoint URL: https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloudid}/{api}

Click Advanced Options to add headers and parameters.
Method: Choose Get.
Headers: Click and configure the respective HTTP headers as configured in the endpoint.
Parameters: Cick and configure the query parameters as configured in the endpoint.
Message type: Select None.
Check the Repeat calling this Endpoint box to continually call the API until you get the required response. From the drop-down menu, select the parameter and specify the increment value. You can also set a condition which, when satisfied, calls the endpoint repeatedly.
Note: You can configure multiple endpoints for a HCM solution.
Once finished, click Test & Save. A response window will display the requested elements.
Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in the HCM solution.
Enter the Configuration Name and Description, and select the Automation Category from the drop-down menu.
In the Select Endpoint field, choose those columns that are unique to users (employeeIdenifier, username, etc.). The values in these columns should be consistent across all the endpoints.
In the Attribute Mapping field, select the attribute from the LDAP Attribute Name drop-down menu and map it with the respective column in the HCM solution.
Click Save.
