Deprecation of basic authentication with password and username for Jira #11

Closed Fabbby closed 3 years ago

Fabbby commented 3 years ago

Currently, authentication via Rest endpoint is not possible in Jira with password and username. The future authentication should be done via API token, OAuth, or Atlassian Connect.

<jira-configuration>

    <url>http://dummy-url.com</url>
    <credentials>
        <username>login-name-for-jira</username>
       <password>jira-password</password>
    </credentials>

    <projects>
        <project>
            <key>PX</key>
        </project>        
        <project>
            <key>PY</key>
        </project>
    </projects>

</jira-configuration>

Thank you for your interest in the Jira plugin!

We just released a new version v0.0.3 which allows using API token authentication. Please read the README for a valid XML configuration. There you can also find the information on how to get an API key for Atlassian.

Version v0.0.3 was tested with the jQAssistant 1.8.0 command line distribution against an official Jira DEV cloud test environment: https://jqa-jira-plugin.atlassian.net/.
