Optional webhook authentication

If your Jira Data Center version supports webhook secrets, copy the Webhook Secret from Wirespeed’s Webhook Details and configure it on the Jira webhook. Jira will send an X-Hub-Signature for each callback. After Jira is configured with the secret, enable Verify Webhook Authenticity in the Jira Data Center integration configuration. Leave this option disabled if your Jira version cannot sign webhooks; unsigned callbacks are rejected while it is enabled.
