Authentification with PAT not working

[nada_bouslama]

Hello everyone,

i'm developping a react js web application and i need access to my jira account, to do so , i've created a PAT for a safer authentification , saved the token value. i'm following the instruction given in this doc https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/using-personal-access-tokens-1026032365.html.

i'm testing it with postman, so instead of using basic auth with username and password i'm using Bearer token as instructed. however i always get  status 40* unauthorized.

i tried replacing password with token and still not working, could anyone please help me with that ?

I have discovered that PAT are not working unless you are logged into Jira via browser, which is really weird.  It kind of defeats the purpose when you are automating something.
