In order to establish a secure connection between Jira and **TFS4JIRA Synchronizer** one has to:

1. Set Jira URL and encryption password in **TFS4JIRA Synchronizer**.
2. Set **TFS4JIRA Synchronizer** URL and encryption password in Jira.

With this information in place **TFS4JIRA** components can establish secure HTTPS connection between each other.  
Please note, that encryption password can be chosen arbitrary (in particular - it is not your Jira password). It just has to be the same in Jira and **TFS4JIRA Synchronizer**.

> ℹ️ If you have Jira Cloud, you will need to expose the **TFS4JIRA Synchronizer** to the Internet, allowing incoming connections to it, either directly, or through a proxy, or by port forwarding. See [Required network configuration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TSH/pages/1800275121) for more details.
