How can i switch from basic authentication to Oauth using jira-python
Hi Ashish
1. Following instructions here to perform OAuth dance and configuration in Jira application links, https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/oauth/
2. Following instructions here to login through OAuth using jira-python, https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html#oauth
Thanks Daniel . This should help me but is there something in python to perform Oauth dance and configuration , actually i was making some scripts to update jira-issues using jira-python so the problem is when we connect jira using basic-auth it ask password every time when i pass it to via getpass . so to avoid this i have three plans mentioned bellow to do could you suggest which will be applicable.
1. JIRA Oauth
2. user switcher ( connect with a default super user as admin and switch it to current user after connect to jira)
3. LDAP user authentification (Does jira allows as user's are inside jira??)
I use Jira python for similar purposes. To avoid entering password every time, I just hard coded the password in the script. Do you have any concern to do the same? Or your script is being used by different individuals so that they have to input their own user name and password? I would recommend to use a general account for this purpose, and hard code the user name and password.
There are some implementations to perform Oauth using python, for example, https://pypi.org/project/jira-oauth/, I did not try it by myself. Actually, to perform Oauth dance, you don't have to use the same language as you do for actual authentication, it is just a one time short to get the token, after that, you can just use your python script to login using the token.
As for your 3 options
I don't quite understand #2 and #3
2. I think you have to re-authenticate if you want to switch user. Actually, even if you use OAuth, all the permission you have are limited to the user who performed the dance.
3. What you referred to by saying "Does jira allows as user's are inside jira??" ?
Hi Daniel,
We can't hard coded the password because it will use by different individuals and they input their name and password . Currently we are using general account as an admin (SU_PM_AVS) but problem is all the update goes from that account name like SU_PM_AVS added a comment etc..here we want user account name instead of SU_PM_AVS
#2 we want something like connect by SU_PM_AVS that allow to switch user for all the update by user account name without authentication
#3 can we integrate jira with LDAP server
