Daniel,

that is beyond my knowledge. But as far as I know you don´t need to save the password as plain text in a User property. Maybe some more advances Groovy experts out there that can possibly answer that question. Still best way is to try it out.

Hi Alexander,

as far as I can see we would still need to write the plaintext Passwort into the user-defined property in Jira in order to use the REST API with Basic Auth. Is this correct?

Users would not be able to change their Passwords themselfs (without breaking the Authentication) and the plaintext Password would still be visible to at least the admins as well. Is there no other way to authenticate?

Would App Links and OAuth be an Option? https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/bitbucket/interacting-with-other-apps-via-applinks.html
