Base connector URLs to be whitelisted for Jira Hosted are determined by removing the token at the end from a connector URL

For example, if the connector URL is

https://jira.example.com/plugins/servlet/aio-tb/public/tableauconnect?link=M2JjMmU5YKItZ8FmYy90MGI5UTlhOTktATVmUGZkNIE4YmY2

Base Connector URLs would be

https://jira.example.com/plugins/servlet/aio-tb/public/tableauconnect

https://jira.example.com:443/plugins/servlet/aio-tb/public/tableauconnect
