Create a login with Cookie Auth + Token

ixinit

Hey people,

I'm a complete beginner with Jira Rest Api.

I want to use the Cookie Auth with token and identify the user with the cookie so that the user has the possibility to do commands with his rights to Jira with my web application.

I prefer php with html input.

Thank you!

If you're using Crowd, have you looked at the Crowd REST API? It has info specifically on cookies and tokens.

Otherwise, with Jira, it's not as well (or at all) documented in the Jira Server REST API documentation how to use cookies/tokens.

The topic does, however, have its own documentation: Cookie-based authentication.

That ought to get you started.

Thank you. I never heard of crowd rest api. I will check it out but what is the difference?

I saw the jira server rest api and I also do not think that it is well documented and that is the problem it just has the cookie based authentication but without a combination with a token.

Thanks !

There are all kinds of Atlassian REST APIs beyond the Jira Server one. There's one for agile, one for Service Desk, plugins have them, etc. Same for Confluence. Sometimes I come across them mentioned in the Community. There are ones for cloud as well, but I don't use cloud.

You can even find them if you poke around in the Developer Console in your browser and watch what is used to perform various actions in the Jira UI. Here's a few links to get you more confused/started.

JIRA Server REST API Reference

JIRA Agile REST API Reference

JIRA Service Desk REST API Reference

Confluence REST API Documentation

They do update these every few months, so I'd check to make sure you're looking at the latest (and/or most compatible for your instance) version of them. There are links at the top of most of the pages to bring you to the different versions.
