Atlassian Server encryption at rest

[Mike Pickard]

Does anyone know if there any plans for implementing 'encryption at rest' for JIRA server or Confluence server? I see where encryption at rest is part of the JIRA/Confluence Cloud instances, but I have not been able to find anything on Server applications.

Thanks!

Hi @Mike Pickard 

JIRA Server's REST API is protected by the same restrictions which are provided via JIRAs standard web interface. This means that if you do not log in, you are accessing JIRA anonymously.

Furthermore, if you log in and do not have permission to view something in JIRA, you will not be able to view it using the JIRA REST API either.

In most cases, the first step in using the JIRA REST API is to authenticate a user account with your JIRA site. Any authentication that works against JIRA will work against the REST API.

Here you can find more details with some examples:
