- Log in as a system administrator and go to the administration page. Click Application Links in the administration menu. You'll see a list of the application links that have already been set up.
- Click 'Add Application Link'. Step 1 of the link wizard will appear.
- Enter the server URL of the application that you want to link to (the 'remote application').
- Click the 'Next' button. Step 2 of the link wizard will appear.
- Enter the following information:
- 'Also create a link from 'XYZ' back to this server' – Select this option if you want to create a two-way link between the remote application (which in this case is called 'XYZ') and your application. If you want to do this, you will need to enter the username and password of an administrator for the remote application.
Please Note:- These credentials are not saved. They are only used at this step of the wizard to authenticate with the remote application, so that a reciprocal Application Link can be created in the remote application back to your application.
- If the the remote application is Jira or Confluence, these credentials need to be a user account with the system administrator global permission.
- 'Reciprocal Link URL' – The URL you give here will override the base URL specified in your remote application's administration console, for the purposes of the application links connection. Application Links will use this URL to access the remote application.
- 'Also create a link from 'XYZ' back to this server' – Select this option if you want to create a two-way link between the remote application (which in this case is called 'XYZ') and your application. If you want to do this, you will need to enter the username and password of an administrator for the remote application.
- Click the 'Next' button. Step 3 of the link wizard will appear.
- Enter the information required to configure authentication for your application link:
- 'The servers have the same set of users and usernames' or 'The servers have either different sets of users or usernames' – Select one of these options depending on how you manage users between the two applications.
- 'These servers fully trust each other' – Select this option if you fully understand and trust the behavior of both applications at all times and are sure that each application will maintain the security of their private key.
For more information about configuring authentication, see Configuring Authentication for an Application Link.
- Click the 'Create' button to create the application link.
