Atlassian Crowd Yielding 401 Unauthorized for REST API calls via oauth

Antwan W
Antwan W April 25, 2018

We have been successfully using atlassian-connect-express to connect to JIRA server instances but it appears the moment SSO is enabled in the target JIRA instance via Atlassian Crowd, we can no longer authenticate via oauth. The response we get directs us to `/secure/MyJiraHome.jspa`:

 If SSO is not enabled then things work just fine and we are able to authenticate successfully. How do we authenticate against Crowd in order to issue jira-rest-api calls? Does our server need to be added to some whitelist within the target instance's Crowd configuration?
