Teleport Jira Plugin

This package provides Teleport <-> Jira integration that allows teams to approve or deny Access Requests on a Jira Project Board. It works with both Jira Cloud and Jira Server 8.

Setup

Install the plugin

Get the plugin distribution.

$ curl -L https://get.gravitational.com/teleport-access-jira-v7.0.2-linux-amd64-bin.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf teleport-access-jira-v7.0.2-linux-amd64-bin.tar.gz
$ cd teleport-access-jira
$ ./install

Set up Jira board

Setup process is different for the Jira Cloud and Jira Server editions:

Teleport User and Role

Using Web UI or tctl CLI utility, create the role access-jira and the user access-jira belonging to the role access-jira. You may use the following YAML declarations.

Role

kind: role
metadata:
  name: access-jira
spec:
  allow:
    rules:
      - resources: ['access_request']
        verbs: ['list', 'read', 'update']
version: v4

User

kind: user
metadata:
  name: access-jira
spec:
  roles: ['access-jira']
version: v2

Generate the certificate

For the plugin to connect to Auth Server, it needs an identity file containing TLS/SSH certificates. This can be obtained with tctl:

$ tctl auth sign --auth-server=AUTH-SERVER:PORT --format=file --user=access-jira --out=/var/lib/teleport/plugins/jira/auth_id --ttl=8760h

Here, AUTH-SERVER:PORT could be localhost:3025, your-in-cluster-auth.example.com:3025, your-remote-proxy.example.com:3080 or your-teleport-cloud.teleport.sh:443. For non-localhost connections, you might want to pass the --identity=... option to authenticate yourself to Auth Server.

Save configuration file

By default, configuration file is expected to be at /etc/teleport-jira.toml.

# /etc/teleport-jira.toml
[teleport]
# Teleport Auth/Proxy Server address.
#
# Should be port 3025 for Auth Server and 3080 or 443 for Proxy.
# For Teleport Cloud, should be in the form of "your-account.teleport.sh:443".
addr = "example.com:3025"

# Identity file exported by `tctl auth sign`.
#
identity = "/var/lib/teleport/plugins/jira/auth_id"

[db]
# Path to the database file
#
path = "/var/lib/teleport/plugins/jira/database"

[jira]
# Jira URL. For Jira Cloud, URL is of the form "https://[your-jira].atlassian.net":
url = "https://example.com/jira"
# Jira User name:
username = "jira-bot"
# Jira API Basic Auth token, or our password in case you're using Jira Server:
api_token = "token"
# Jira Project key:
project = "MYPROJ"
# Jira Issue type:
issue_type = "Task"

[http]
public_addr = "example.com" # URL on which webhook server is accessible externally, e.g. [https://]teleport-jira.example.com
# listen_addr = ":8081" # Network address in format [addr]:port on which webhook server listens, e.g. 0.0.0.0:443
https_key_file = "/var/lib/teleport/plugins/jira/server.key" # TLS private key
https_cert_file = "/var/lib/teleport/plugins/jira/server.crt" # TLS certificate

[log]
output = "stderr" # Logger output. Could be "stdout", "stderr" or "/var/lib/teleport/jira.log"
severity = "INFO" # Logger severity. Could be "INFO", "ERROR", "DEBUG" or "WARN".

Run the plugin

teleport-jira start

If something bad happens, try to run it with -d option i.e. teleport-jira start -d and attach the stdout output to the issue you are going to create.

If for some reason you want to disable TLS termination in the plugin and deploy it somewhere else e.g. on some reverse proxy, you may want to run the plugin with --insecure-no-tls option. With --insecure-no-tls option, plugin's webhook server will talk plain HTTP protocol.

Building from source

To build the plugin from source you need Go >= 1.16 and make.

git clone https://github.com/gravitational/teleport-plugins.git
cd teleport-plugins/access/jira
make
./build/teleport-jira start
