I'm trying to use the bitbucket http access token that was generated for a repo. I am not able to authenticate with the token. What is the username I'm supposed to use? I log into the system with my comany's SSO so I don't directly input a username. 

My account settings page doesn't show anything with regards to a username.

Hi Alex,

The token acts as a replacement for the password, but you can also use the token by specifying it in the Authentication header. 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver0721/http-access-tokens-1115665626.html shows a few ways of doing that.

Cheers,

For some reason this only worked when I created the token for my user but it doesn’t work when I create it for the repository. What would the user id be for the repository http access token? 
For the token I generated on my profile my username worked.
