What is the URI authentication address to establish a connection to a jira project

[Nannette Mori]

Using a perl script to establish a connection to a jira project to create/update Issues using the rest api version 2

Do you have an example or tutorial input or documentation on this topic

[Iago Docando]

Basic Auth. Just add a header to your query to the rest API.

Authorization Basic {base64_string_for_user:pass}

example:

I guess I don't understand your response.  We don't have a query, we are just trying to establish connection into jira before we can do anything else to the fields

Do  you have a coding example how we would setup this connection?

Sorry about that. I don't know a thing about perl, I'm just used to querry Jira's API and I know I use this authentication everytime.
