OAuth security for application links
When you connect Atlassian applications using application links you get the security of the industry-standard OAuth authorization protocol. For a great introduction to how the OAuth authorization flow works, see this blog post.
To update an application link to use just OAuth, see Update application links to use OAuth.
If you want to create an application link between two Atlassian applications, see Link Atlassian applications to work together.
For version 5.2 and later, application links no longer support the Trusted Applications or Basic Access authentication types.
OAuth security models
There are two OAuth security models that you can use with Atlassian application links:
OAuth 認証 |
偽装を伴う OAuth |

You shouldn't link to a non-Atlassian application using OAuth authentication, unless you trust the other application. Applications connected using application links have the ability to use OAuth to impersonate users and so are a potential security risk for the applications they connect to. If your server is compromised, the data there and on linked servers is at risk.
OAuth 認証
OAuth authentication redirects a user to log in to the remote application, after which tokens generated on their behalf are used to authorize requests made from the local application. The remote application handling the request uses the access permissions of the account with which the user logged in on that remote application.
通常のシナリオには以下が含まれます。
- 同じユーザーのセットを共有しない2つのアプリケーション間のアプリケーション リンクをセットアップします。
- パブリック サインオンが可能になったアプリケーションへのリンクや、以前共有ユーザーベースで設定されたリンクを使用し続ける場合、アプリケーション リンクを編集する際に、OAuth （偽装）を OAuth に変更することで、アプリケーション リンクを更新することができます。

偽装を伴う OAuth
偽装を伴う Atlassian OAuth は、Atlassian アプリケーション間の深い統合の恩恵を簡単に受けることができるようになります。
- 他のアプリケーションで自動的に認証され、リクエストの認可を求められません。
- 表示する権限のある情報が表示されます。
偽装認証は現在ログイン中のユーザーに代わりリクエストを行います。
Note that Atlassian OAuth with impersonation can only be used for application links between Atlassian applications. Furthermore, it should only be used when the two applications share the same userbase, typically managed with an external directory using LDAP.
一般的なシナリオは以下のとおりです。
- You've set up an application link but your users still have to authenticate regularly. This can occur when the application link has been configured to not share the same userbase. If those applications do share the same userbase, you can update your application link by selecting OAuth (impersonation) when editing the application link.
See Update an existing link on this page for instructions.
Update an existing link to use OAuth
You may need to update an existing application link to use OAuth authentication when:
- you upgrade an Atlassian application to a version that uses version 5.2, or later, of application links. See the Application links version matrix.
- the existing link uses Trusted Applications authentication, but your team can't see summary information from a developer tool such as Bitbucket Server in the Development panel in Jira Software issues.
- an existing application link uses OAuth, but your team can't see the details dialogs for the Development panel in Jira Software issues.
- you use a plugin that requires the OAuth authentication type.
Here's how to do that in Jira Software, but the process is much the same for other Atlassian server products:
Begin in the local application
Go to the 'Configure Application Links' page in the admin area of the local application.
You may see a DEPRECATED lozenge beside links that need to be updated.
In the 'Edit' dialog, set the local authentication for the link under 'Connections':
次のいずれかを行います。
- OAuth where both applications have different userbases.
- OAuth (impersonation) if both applications share the same userbase, typically managed with an external directory using LDAP.
Make sure that that the authentication matches for the local and remote ends of both the incoming and outgoing directions.
Click Save changes.
Now, in the remote application
Go to the 'Configure Application Links' page in the admin area of the remote application. Choose the instructions column here that matches the UI you see (they both achieve the same result):
In the 'Edit' dialog, set the local authentication for the link under 'Connections':
次のいずれかを行います。
- OAuth where both applications have different userbases.
- OAuth (impersonation) if both applications share the same userbase, typically managed with an external directory using LDAP.
Make sure that that the authentication matches for the local and remote ends of both the incoming and outgoing directions.
Click Save changes.
In the 'Configure' dialog, click Outgoing Authentication and then the OAuth tab:
Now, select Enable 2-Legged OAuth, assuming that the applications have different userbases.
Optionally, select Enable 2-Legged OAuth with impersonation, if both applications share the same userbase, typically managed with an external directory using LDAP.

Now, click Incoming Authentication and then the OAuth tab:
Now, select Enable 2-Legged OAuth, assuming that the applications have different userbases.
Optionally, select Enable 2-Legged OAuth with impersonation, if both applications share the same userbase.

注意:
Users who can see summarized data in the Jira Software Development panel may not have permission to see all the information that contributed to those summaries and that is visible in the details dialogs (for example, for branches, commits and pull requests). That is, the details dialogs respect the access permissions that users have in the connected applications.
Your team members must have the 'View Development Tools' permission in Jira Software to see the Development panel for an issue.
Application links between Jira Software and Atlassian developer tools (Bitbucket Server, Bamboo, Crucible, Fisheye) must have Trusted Applications and Basic Access authentication disabled.
If you run an application on port 443, you must use a valid SSL certificate (which is not self-signed) to get the full functionality available.
