How does jira get the current username and password

[Bhushan Nagaraj]

ey,

If you are trying to do this using the Java SDK, it uses the ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser() method.

Refer to the docs at 

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/index.html?com/atlassian/jira/component/ComponentAccessor.html

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/com/atlassian/jira/security/JiraAuthenticationContext.html

Hope that helps.

How does jira get the current  password?

[Alexey Matveev]

@zhaoyawei You would need to elaborate what you mean. Answering your question, Jira gets a password from user input. But I guess, it is not what you are asking.

Click button in the jirra system I want to pass the user's name and password,I was jira's secondary development call interface requires a user name and password.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

It is still not clear what you mean.  What is a "secondary development call interface"?  What do you mean by "pass user's name and password"?

But, I suspect you might be thinking that Jira has the user's password stored somewhere so you can use it for a log-in to something.  That is a totally insecure thing to do and Jira never stores passwords.  So there is nothing to "get"

If you could explain what you are trying to do, we might be able to explain how.
