JIRA SOAP API - is impersonation possible?

Makarand Keer December 18, 2013

Hi,

We are using JIRA SOAP API, to integrate exernal app with JIRA. Currently we are using service account to connect using SOAP API. I have following questions regarding connection to JIRA

1. Is it possible to use Windows Integrated Authentication to connect to JIRA using SOAP, in this way I need not explicitly set UserId and Pwd to connect to JIRA.

2. Is it possible to impersnate user? Like if I connect using service account but for some methods I wanted to use logged in user's id. For example while creating a comment on JIRA issue currently it is created under service account, however I wanted to create under logged in user.

Thanks

Neither of those are supported as far as I know. I'd recommend using REST instead of SOAP though
