<a name="jira-connection-check"></a>

Before you sync your Jira data source connector after [configuring it](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/jira-console.html), we recommend you check the connection between Amazon Q Business and Jira. The following are the cURL commands you need to check Jira connectivity.

## Checking basic authentication connectivity
<a name="jira-connection-check-basic"></a>

To check connectivity for a Jira data source connector using basic authentication, use the following cURL command:

```
curl --location 'https://<jira-url>/wiki/rest/api/user/current' 
--header 'Authorization: Basic <base64(email:api_token)>'
```

If your data source is connected as expected, the JSON response should resemble the following:

```
{
    "type": "known",
    "accountId": "accountId",
    "accountType": "atlassian",
    "email": "email",
    "publicName": "Administrator",
    "profilePicture": {
        "path": "/wiki/aa-avatar/<accountId>",
        "width": 48,
        "height": 48,
        "isDefault": false
    },
    "displayName": "Administrator",
    "isExternalCollaborator": false,
    "_expandable": {
        "operations": "",
        "personalSpace": ""
    },
    "_links": {
        "self": "https://<host_url>/wiki/rest/api/user?accountId=<accountId>",
        "base": "https://<host_url>/wiki",
        "context": "/wiki"
    }
}
```

If your Jira connector is not connected correctly, you will see the following error:
+ CNF-5123: The profile value is invalid. Try again after sometime.

To troubleshoot the issue, check your Jira URL and make sure it's correct.
