Purpose

Users who would like to integrate JIRA with their own application or 3rd party application will need to have a valid public key. This page will provide the steps to do this. 

Solution

  1. To generate a key pair execute:

    openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048
  2. And to extract the public key (both keys are in PEM format) execute:

    openssl rsa -pubout -in privkey.pem -out pubkey.pem


  3. Open the pubkey.pem in a text editor and you should see something like this:
