Basic auth is supported in all instances. You are getting an "Unauthorized" error. That could be wrong password or that the user doesn't have the required permissions (to view the issue in this case).

You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.

It is returning an HTML page:

<title>Unauthorized (401)</title>

Do you have the said issue in your JIRA? I see that you are using the same issue key in the JIRA examples.
