Hi @fjavadpour

There is a dedicated NPM package for this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/atlassian-crowd-client

baseUrl: 'http://myhost/crowd',

application: { name: 'app-name', password: 'app-pass' } });

module.exports = {

show : function(req,res) {

crowd.session.create(('username', 'password'), (error, session) => {

if(error) { console.log(error); }

console.log(session.token); } }) }

You must add the IP address of the computer or server on which you're running that code to the list of authorized remote addresses for your application in Crowd's console: https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/specifying-an-application-s-address-or-hostname-25788433.html
