# Test and fix Jira connections

After you set up a Jira request provider, you can test and fix connections to Jira.

In this topic:

## Test Jira connections using dmcli

You can test connections to Jira using the OpenText Dimensions CM command-line client, dmcli.

To test Jira connections using dmcli:

1. Log in to dmcli.

## Fix SSL certificates

A Jira connection can have one of the following errors, the most likely cause is a missing Jira site certificate on your OpenText Dimensions CM server:

- 60: SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK.
- 35 SSL connect error.

To fix SSL on Windows:

- Log in to Jira in a web browser.
- Export a Jira site certificate from the browser when you are logged in. Import the certificate to the Windows Server host.

To fix SSL on UNIX or Windows:

1. Log in to a Jira account in a web browser.
2. Click the View site information icon on the left side of the browser address bar.
3. Navigate to the folder where certificates are saved. See your browser's user help for instructions.
4. Select *.atlassian.net and save it as X.509 Certificate with chain (PEM).
5. Copy the certificate to your host machine.

6. Open the OpenText Dimensions CM server configuration file, dm.cfg, and add the certificate's path to the following variable:

   Copy code

       DM_SSL_TRUST_CERTS_FILE <certificate path>

   Tip: You can group multiple certificates in a single certificate file referenced by this variable.
