×Hello:
I followed the procedures in this document to successfully create an OAuth token to my JIRA instance:
https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/oauth/
The developer who will use it was the person who authenticated the token. This ensures that token gets the same access to JIRA that the user gets (as opposed to having me authenticate it for the user since I am a jira-administrator).
Next, another user comes along and wants an OAuth token for their purposes. I assume I want to create another one instead of giving him that same token information from the first creation since his permissions might be slightly different in JIRA. When I create the second one, it breaks the first one. The information in the "Incoming Authentication" section of the associated application link in JIRA shows what I typed in when creating the second OAuth token. The Consumer name and public key is overwritten by what I used for the second token I created.
Maybe I cut-n-pasted incorrectly, or maybe I should only create one OAuth token per JIRA instance or maybe something else?
Also: A second question: Do I need to forever keep the bits (the 4 jira*key files and the source code used to compile the jar files) used when creating the token?
Thanks in advance
