Unable to authenticate using JIRA CLI v 6.7.1

[Jeanne Howe (PVD AUG)]

I've just donloaded the CLI 6.7.1 distribution. When attempting to run a CLI command for JIRA, I receive an 401 response code on the licenses validation check.

Response code: 200, message: null, url: https://jira.XXX.com/rest/auth/1/session
Response code: 401, message: null, url: https://jira.XXX.com/rest/org.swift.jira.cli/latest/validatelicense

We have a valid license.

We have the connector installed and the license is valid.

We are JIRA 7.3.5 Data Center Server install.

If I go to the URL that validates the license, I get a proper response:

{"status":true,"message":"Bob Swift Atlassian Add-ons - JIRA CLI Connector has a valid license.","product":"JIRA","version":"7.3.5","build":"73016","buildDate":"2017-04-19T00:00:00.000-0400","time":"2017-07-10T13:28:05.731-0400","timeZone":"Eastern Standard Time","title":"XXX JIRA","baseUrl":"https://jira.XXX.com","connectorVersion":"6.7.0"}

It's a bit late, but for those still looking for the answer.

You need to add to the action line:

--options basicAuthentication
