Configuration happens via +username and password. Connecting to a Jira server via CAS is not possible. + +Each project can be configured to connect to a different Jira instance, see the +[configuration](#configuration) section. If you have one Jira instance you can +pre-fill the settings page with a default template.

When a commit which contains the trigger word in the commit +message is pushed, GitLab will add a comment in the mentioned Jira issue. + +For example, for project named `PROJECT` in Jira, we implemented a new feature +and created a merge request in GitLab. + +This feature was requested in Jira issue `PROJECT-7`.
