Hi @Abhishek Barnwal ,

The ability to generate API tokens is already available in Jira Server and Data Center version 8.14.0.

Hi @Niranjan ,

Thanks for your response. Currently we are using 8.13 version of JIRA DC. Can you please tell me how can I use the OAuth authentication method for rest api authentication.

@Abhishek Barnwal - This feature is not available in 8.13.0. You must upgrade JIRA to 8.14 or later version to use this feature.

@Niranjan OAuth is available as authentication method. I am new in OAuth Authentication. Can you please tell me how can I use OAuth as authentication method?

Hi Abhishek,

Even I am new to Oauth and trying to find the solution.
