In this scenario we want to keep one JIRA instance secured on network level. No external (user) access is allowed to JIRA behind a firewall.

(This model works in many situations and is more a technical idea that can be used in other cases.)


Prerequisites


There are two JIRA instances that communicate with each other. One of them is behind a firewall. Second one is visible by the other via Internet or VPN.

\

Realization

In Connection configuration:

  • JIRA A - has to be Active (Push&Pull)
  • JIRA B - has to be Passive (do nothing)


Consideration

  • Synchronization interval is controlled by Active JIRA.
  • This model is transparent from fields, comments, attachments, workflows synchronization. You can switch between active/passive along the way.
