403 error when using /rest/atm/1.0/testresult only via the code

[Ifatsharifi]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the adaptavist API for updating test results from my automation code.

I've managed to create the post request and run it successfully using Postman BUT when I use the same request with the same headers, body etc. in the code - I get a 403 error.

That's the code I'm using:

public static void sendPOST(String testKey, String status) throws IOException {
    String POST_PARAMS = buildRequestBody(testKey,status);
    URL obj = new URL(POST_URL);
    HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
    con.setRequestMethod("POST");
    con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
    con.setRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    con.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic *********");

    // For POST only - START
    con.setDoOutput(true);
    OutputStream os = con.getOutputStream();
    os.write(POST_PARAMS.getBytes());
    System.out.println(os);
    os.flush();
    os.close();
    // For POST only - END

    int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
    System.out.println("POST Response Code :: " + responseCode);
    if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) { //success
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                con.getInputStream()));
        String inputLine;
        StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();

        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
            response.append(inputLine);
        }
        in.close();

        // print result
        System.out.println(response.toString());
    } else {
        System.out.println("POST request didn't work.");
    }
}

Please help.

Thanks,
Ifat.

Hi @Ifatsharifi,

If you are getting a 403 that's surely an authentication problem. Actually, Jira handles authentication even before the request reaches the add-on.

How are you building the user/pass parameter? It should be:

Authorization: Basic user:password
