How to authenticate with JIRA Server (on prem) in Python.

[Sharon_George]

Hi all,

I am using the Jira python library and authenticating with an on premise Jira server.
logins to our Jira instance are being done via SSO.

The code is as follows:

options = {'server': 'https://Internal-JIRA-URL.com'}
self.jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=(username, password))

I checked the credentials and url are correct, but still getting error 401.

I read that basic auth' was lately deprecated, with the api token solution for JIRA Cloud.

Was it also deprecated for JIRA Server (on prem)? If so, how can I fix this code?

Thanks in advance,

Sharon.

Hello @Sharon_George 

Can you try this :

from jira import JIRA

jira = JIRA(basic_auth=('username', 'password'), options={'server': 'jiraURL'})

Hope this helps
