Hi Yasir,

I understand you are trying to make a REST API call, but are unexpectedly getting an authentication error.

Could you please let us know what the exact REST API endpoint you are trying to call here?  I am curious to see if we can recreate this exact error, but it matters what endpoint is being called here.

Also, is your Jira site behind a reverse proxy?  Sometimes these can 'eat' credentials.  Alek posted a possible alternative method you might be able to use get past this problem over in https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JIRA-API-Basic-authentication-not-work/qaq-p/470677
