How to use Personal Access Token with Jira .NET SDK

Alfredo Pisano

I havent found a solution to this problem yet, and the only other similar question on here was resolved but the links of the solution are obsolete.

 

When i try to use the generate JiraClient from this output if i use my password it works, if i use my Personal Access Token (PAT) which i generated on my account from JIRA i get a 401 Error.

return Jira.CreateRestClient(jUrl, userName, userPersonalJiraToken);

Hi, 

a bit late to the party, but i solved the problem this way:

Create a class authenticator

 

public class PATTokenAuthentication : RestSharp.Authenticators.IAuthenticator
{
   private string _token;
   public PATTokenAuthentication(string token)
   {
      _token = token;
   }

   public void Authenticate(IRestClient client, IRestRequest request)
   {
      request.AddHeader("Authorization", $"Bearer {_token}");
   }
}

And then use it in the RestSharp settings:

var jira = Jira.CreateRestClient("<URL>", null, null);

jira.RestClient.RestSharpClient.Authenticator = new PATTokenAuthentication("<Your PAT>");

var issuesQuery = from i in jira.Issues.Queryable
orderby i.Created
select i;

var issuesList = issuesQuery.ToList();

issuesList should be populated correctly
