This section explains how to integrate Jira so you can raise Jira tickets directly from Burp Suite Enterprise Edition.

Supported versions of Jira

Burp Suite Enterprise Edition supports integration with Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center up to 10.x. The oldest supported version is 8.4.1.

Supported certificate types

When integrating Jira with Burp Suite Enterprise Edition, make sure that your Jira instance uses the right type of certificate for your deployment model:

• SaaS deployments: Your Jira instance must use a CA-signed certificate.

• On-premise deployments (standard and Kubernetes): Your Jira instance can use either a CA-signed or a self-signed certificate. To upload or delete certificates, go to Settings > Network > Manage certificates.

Create a new Jira user (Recommended)

To integrate with Jira, Burp Suite Enterprise Edition must be linked to a specific Jira user.

All Jira projects that the user has permission to create tickets in will be exposed to Burp Suite Enterprise Edition. For this reason, we recommend creating a new Jira user specifically for the integration.

Generate a Jira API token (Jira Cloud only)

If you want to integrate a cloud-based Jira installation, you first need to create a Jira API token. Burp Suite Enterprise Edition uses this to authenticate itself with Jira.

1. Log in to Jira as the user that you want to use for the integration.
2. In Jira, click your user icon and open your account settings.
3. From the account settings page, select Security.
4. Click Create and manage API tokens.
5. Click Create API token.
6. Enter a label for the token and click Create.
7. Copy the token to your clipboard and save it somewhere secure.

Connect Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to Jira

To connect Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to Jira:

1. Log in to Burp Suite Enterprise Edition as an administrator.
2. From the settings menu, select Integrations.
3. On the Jira tile, select Configure.
4. Enter the URL for your Jira server in the Jira URL field.
5. Click Continue.
   
6. The next step depends on whether you use Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center:
   • For Jira Cloud, enter the email address and the API token of the Jira user that you created earlier. Click Continue.
   • For Jira Data Center, enter the username and password of the Jira user that you created earlier. Click Continue.
   

If Burp Suite Enterprise Edition successfully connects to Jira, you'll be presented with options to configure both manual and automatic ticket creation.

Enable users to manually raise Jira tickets

To enable users to raise Jira tickets manually in Burp Suite Enterprise Edition, configure the list of Jira projects and ticket types that they can choose from:

1. From the settings menu , select Integrations and find the Jira panel. Click Edit.
2. Under Raise tickets manually, click Add rule.
3. Enter a name for the rule. You can also add a description.
4. Click Next.
5. Select a project from the Project drop-down list. Start typing to search the available projects.
6. Select a ticket type from the Ticket type drop-down list. Start typing to search the available ticket types.
7. If required, select a parent from the Parent drop-down list. Start typing to search the available Jira parents.
8. Click Save.

You can repeat these steps to add more projects and ticket types.
