Issue while using token in creating Jira through REST API

Question

Hey guys

I am using exactly same java code for creating jira ticket using username:password and username:api_token.

I am able to create ticket using username:password (ofcourse encoded with base64) but when I am using the same code for api token , it is giving me 401 unauthorized - no body error with restTemplate.

Please suggest me the solution for this.

Thanks

Hey @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ Yeah I have created token from my account profile>Personal Access token and using the same while authorization. I am using something like this.. with proper url,username and api token. public HttpHeaders createHeadersWithAuthentication() { String plainCreds = "myusername" + ":" + "api_token"; byte[] base64CredsBytes = Base64.getEncoder().encode(plainCreds.getBytes()); String base64Creds = new String(base64CredsBytes); HttpHeaders requestHeaders = new HttpHeaders(); requestHeaders.add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Creds); return requestHeaders; } httpHeaders = createHeadersWithAuthentication(); httpHeaders.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON); String url = "https://onejira.******.com/rest/api/2/issue"; HttpEntity requestEntity = new HttpEntity(jiraRequest.toString(), httpHeaders); String jiraResponse = restTemplate.postForObject(url ,requestEntity, String.class); When I am replacing String plainCreds = "myusername" + ":" + "api_token"; with String plainCreds = "myusername" + ":" + "mypassword"; It is working perfectly fine for me with the same lines of code.. even with postman i tried using token instead of password , both are working fine , only issue is with using token inside code. Please help. Let m know if you require anything else from my side. Thank You

Hi @Shubham ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Please could you share your REST API call (without user info) so that we can support you on that? How did u generate token for user?
