Hi, while making a post call to create an issue in JIRA, I get an error ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized’. I am using basic authorization. Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Hi Balaji,

What happens when you try to run this curl?

curl -D- -u username:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://<your-jira-uril>/rest/api/2/project"

If you still face issues, may you paste the call which you are getting 401?

Regards, 
Renato Rudnicki

Whatever you mean by "post call", it's not logged in as a user who has the rights to create the issues, so you need to fix your call so that it logs in correctly.
