# Tasks: Create Task Repository Dialog Box: JIRA

The Create Task Repository dialog box enables you to specify the connection details for a task repository. After you register the repository, a node for the repository appears under the Task Repositories node in the Services window and the Repositories section of the Tasks window. You can view, submit and resolve tasks in the IDE.

To enable integrated support for JIRA task repositories in the IDE you need to install the JIRA plugin.

If you do not want to install the plugin you can work directly with JIRA tasks in your browser. You can find the location of the JIRA repository in the details window of the project.

Element | Description
--- | ---
Connector | Select JIRA from the dropdown list.
Name | The name of the repository as it will be displayed in the IDE under the Task Repositories node in the Services window and Repositories section of the Tasks window. The name will also be listed in the drop down menu when you open the Find Tasks tab from the Services window.
Task Repository URL | Specify the URL for the repository.
Username | Specify the username that is registered with the repository.
Password | Specify the password that is registered with the repository.
Use HTTP Authentication | Select if the repository requires authentication. If selected, you need to specify the username and password. Click Validate to connect to the repository and check that the authentication details are correct.
Enable Local Usernames | When selected, the IDE uses the user name (e.g., without `@mydomain.com`) instead of an email address when submitting tasks. When authorizing and identifying users, some repositories are configured to use a registered user name as the user id and some are configured to use an email address. Select this option when the repository is configured to use a user name.
