Is it possible to open default browser with Confluence logged in from external app?

Michał Wiland

I have a C# app. What I'm trying to do is to open the default browser (for example Mozilla) with Confluence logged in.

I tried to create a simple html file (and run it from C#) with a function that creates a request and passes the Authorization header:

 

function myFunction() { 
 var parameters = location.search.substring(1).split("&");
 var lAuthHeader = parameters[0];

$.ajax({

 url: "https://myconfluenceurl?", 
 type: "GET",
 beforeSend: function(xhr) {
 xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic ' + lAuthHeader);
 },
 success: function() { 
 window.location.href = 'https://myconfluenceurl?'; 
 }

});
}

But I'm getting a 403 in the console. Is there any way to do it?

Get your application to use SSO, or create a login token for the Atlassian application it needs to get into.
