Jira Server HTTP Basic Authentication not working.

Question

I am trying to access Jira server via the Jira rest API but returns an empty array.

curl -H "Authorization:Basic EnocodedToken" -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://jira_url/jira/rest/api/2/project

but it returns [] .

Http status is also 200.

Please note our jira server is not behind any proxy.

Yes the token generated is correct, I have cross checked it from multiple platforms and the user also has the necessary privileges to access.

In fact cookie-based authentication is working fine and i am able to get all details but in case of basic auth its not working , even tried through postman but same response.

And i am expected to use only basic authentication.

are you sure you generated your token properly?

do you have necessary permissions to browse projects?
