A tunneled application link allows you to select an existing application tunnel that will be used to forward the traffic to the target instance, as opposed to a direct link where you use the URL of the target instance. You can create a tunneled application link only from your cloud product.
To create a tunneled application link:
Open your cloud product's administration and navigate to application links. This is different from admin.atlassian.com, each product has its own administration.
Jira: Go to Administration > Products > Application links.
Confluence: Go to Administration > Application links.
Select Create link.
Select Tunneled application link, and then choose the application tunnel that is connected to your self-managed instance.
Follow the wizard to complete the setup. You will be redirected between your cloud and self-managed products to authorize the application link.
You can verify that the application link was correctly created by viewing its details, both on the cloud and self-managed side. Here you can see some examples:
Product | Screenshot | Notes |
Cloud | Only this link is using the tunnel, because it’s incoming to your network. The target URL is the URL of your tunnel. | |
Self-managed | This a direct reciprocal link, not using the tunnel, because it’s outgoing from your network. |
