Sources tab in JIRA asks for login

[Arthur Maltson]

Hello everyone,

When I upgraded to the 3.2.2 version of the Fisheye plugin for JIRA 4.4 as instructed in another question, many of the developers started to get the message below. Once you "Login & Approve", it doesn't ask you again. I've enabled the Application Links between Fisheye and JIRA using OAuth, so it should work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Arthur,

OAuth requires the user to authenticate with the target application so that JIRA can make requests as the user who is logged into FishEye. This is a security measure to ensure that JIRA authenticates as the same user that is logged into FishEye. It allows JIRA to retrieve content from FishEye without asking the user to hand over their username and password. All of your users will need to "Login and approve" at least once to see content from FishEye. You can read about it more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth

Hello Seb,

Thank you, that makes sense. However, is there a way to get the previous behaviour to work where it would be automatically authenticated for everyone? Or is this the preferred and more secure way that Atlassian would like people to use?

If both JIRA and FishEye have the same userbase, you can configure the Application Link to use the "Trusted Applications" authentication mechanism, see here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CRUCIBLE/JIRA+Integration+in+Crucible

If you do not have identical user bases, then you can use Basic Authentication which will mean that all communication between JIRA and FishEye will be made as the user that you configure.

Works like a charm, exactly what I needed! Thank you.
