REST API auth error

BayWa IT Workplace Atlassian

Hi Community,

 

we´re building simple Python scripts for JIRA using the REST API with Basic auth (this way is ok for us, no need for Oauth at the moment).

For building the correct codes we´re using SOAP UI before we implement it in our scripts.

 

When we start execution, for example GET on https://jira.ourdomain.com/rest/api/2/applicationrole we see an error 401 Unauthorized (401). After some tries we get an error 403 and CAPTCHA is active for this user .

So it´s seems that data was correct and the username can be extracted from base64 encoded string by JIRA (base64 string is username:password).

In the past this way worked fine.

 

The same credentials (base64) work perfect in Confluence with REST API, so it seems to be a problem on JIRA side. In the backend both systems use Crowd with the same user directory (LDAP).

We´re using JIRA 8.6.1 with reverse proxy and activated SSL.

 

Regards

Uli

Dear @BayWa IT Workplace Atlassian ,

The documentation says: 403: Returned if the current user is not an administrator.

Do you have the proper permissions for your calling user?

So long
