Integrate a new Jira Data Center source

info

For now, only real-time scanning is supported to detect secrets in issues and comments. All detectors are supported, with the exception of these 2 generic detectors, in order to limit the risk of false positives:

• Generic High Entropy Secret
• Generic Password

Setting up and configuring this integration is limited to users with an Owner or Manager access level. Jira Data Center site installation is only open to workspaces under the Business plan, but uninstallation is open to all. Alternatively, you can install and test secret detection in Jira Data Center with a 30-day trial. Any secret incidents created during this period will remain accessible in your incident dashboard after the trial period.

GitGuardian integrates natively with Jira Data Center via an administrator Personal Access Token that you can create from your Jira Data Center sites. Note that GitGuardian only has read access to your projects.

Setup your Jira Data Center integration

You can install GitGuardian on multiple Jira Data Center sites to monitor your projects.

1. Make sure you're logged as an administrator in the Jira Data Center site you want to install
2. Go to the Profile page
3. Go to the Personal Access Tokens section and click Create token to create a new PAT
4. Provide a Token Name, an optional Expiry date and click Create
5. Copy your new PAT and click Close
6. In the GitGuardian platform, navigate to the Sources integration page
7. Click on the Install button next to Jira Data Center in the Ticketing section
8. Click on the Install button of the Jira Data Center integration page
9. Paste your Jira Data Center site URL, your Administrator Personal Access Token and click Add

That's it! Your Jira Data Center site is installed and we are now monitoring all issues and comments of your projects for secrets.

info

Jira allows the creation of up to 10 PATs. GitGuardian automatically renews PATs before they expire. To do this, you must have at least 2 PAT slots free. Otherwise, an error message will warn you that the integration is no longer functional.

Uninstall your Jira Data Center site

To uninstall a Jira Data Center site:

1. In the GitGuardian platform, navigate to the Sources integration page
2. Click on the Edit button next to Jira Data Center in the Ticketing section
3. Click on the bin icon next to the Jira Data Center site to be uninstalled
4. Confirm by clicking on the Yes, uninstall button in the confirmation modal

That's it! Your Jira Data Center site is now uninstalled.
