Confluence plugin : OAuth1 support.

[MOD Administrator]

As I understand from the rest API module REST plugin module (atlassian.com), for a plugin to be accessible via basic auth, we don't have to do much, all plugins are kept private behind the credentials, if you try to hit the end point you will get a 401. But what about Oauth1, do we have to code anything special to allow oauth1, or we will be able to contact the plugin out of the box for Oauth1. Also , any documentation link for how the authentication mechanism is implemented will be of help.

Hi @MOD Administrator here's a page on OAuth1.0a

Although it is not recommended and you should really use OAuth2.0

@Craig Nodwell , Can you please answer following questions?

1. OAuth2.0 support came from confluence server/dc version >-=7.17. Customers who are using version <7.17 are using OAuth1.0. Can you please help with timeline about when OAuth1.0 will be deprecated? Ultimately, we will migrate to OAuth2.0 but it will need some time.

2. We have built custom plugin using Atlassian SDK. This plugin has exposed few endpoints. We wanted to understand how authentications works in general for plugin built using Atlassian SDK? As part of building plugin, we have not done specific configurations to handle authentication, but plugin already takes care of authentication. So, our question is how authentication is being supported/handled by Atlassian SDK based plugin?
