Summary
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
To generate a key pair execute:
1
openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048
And to extract the public key (both keys are in PEM format) execute:
1
openssl rsa -pubout -in privkey.pem -out pubkey.pem
Open the pubkey.pem in a text editor and you should see something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
