Navigate to Project Settings > Integration.
Click New Connection and select either Jira Server(Jira Data Center), or Jira Cloud.
The default authentication type used is Basic Authentication. You can't change the authentication type.

- Name: Enter a name for your Jira connection.
- Description (Optional): Add a description for reference.
- Server URL: Add the Jira server URL. This is the URL of the server that exposes the Jira REST API. It is usually identical to the URL you navigate to when using Jira through your browser. For example: https://company-name.atlassian.net.

- User: The username you use to authenticate to the Jira API.
- Password (Jira Server only): The password you use to authenticate to the Jira API.
- API Token (Jira Cloud only): Generate an API token. For more information on Atlassian API tokens, see Manage API tokens for your Atlassian account.
- Defect Type: Specify the Jira object-type to be used for defects. Usually, that will be a bug. To disable defect integration for this connection, select None.
- Project Key: Enter the project key from Jira which refers to the project you want to integrate.
