Hello Atlassian community!

Me and my colleagues at Farfetch are having a big of an issue trying to understand what the 'state' attribute is on the Authorization URL.

We are trying to connect IdentityIQ to Jira and for that we know the following from the Atlassian Developer documentation:

https://auth.atlassian.com/authorize? audience=api.atlassian.com& client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID& scope=REQUESTED_SCOPE_ONE%20REQUESTED_SCOPE_TWO& redirect_uri=https://YOUR_APP_CALLBACK_URL&state=YOUR_USER_BOUND_VALUE& response_type=code& prompt=consent

So far we have been just shoving random characters on 'state' whenever we try to grab an access token through Postman. But as expected we get the error page:

Hmm... We're having trouble logging you in.

We're having trouble logging you in. There seems to be an issue with your identity provider. Wait a few moments, then try again.

Can someone help us out?

Thanks!
