Unable to create zendesk integration authentication

[Anthony Tippett]

I'm trying to connect my zendesk service to jira and am getting stuck on the authentication test. I've followed the instructions here https://support.zendesk.com/entries/20560907-zendesk-for-jira-2-0-getting-started

using token based authentication i can get a good response back using curl but am unable to get it to work in Jira. per the instruction above i'm using atippett@sports-it.com/token as my username and the api token. The curl response gives back the following:

{created_at:2010/08/23 16:25:00 -0700,details:,external_id:null,id:15974618,is_active:true,last_login:2012/08/06 13:09:00 -0700,locale_id:null,name:Anthony Tippett,notes:,openid_url:null,organization_id:20927737,phone:+4254433152,restriction_id:0,roles:2,time_zone:Pacific Time (US & Canada),updated_at:2012/08/02 12:01:46 -0700,locale:en-US,current_tags:,email:atippett@sports-it.com,is_verified:true,custom_role_id:null,groups: {created_at:2012/02/08 19:17:13 -0800,id:20145018,is_active:true,name:Level 2 Support,updated_at:2012/02/13 20:55:05 -0800} ,photo_url:https://sportsit.zendesk.com/system/photos/2661/9368/mypic_thumb.jpg,uses_12_hour_clock:false}

But testing it in jira gives an authentication error with stack trace:

I'm using the new zendesk which doesn't have full jira integration yet so this question is irrelevant. I was able to get it working with the old version of zendesk but wasn't very intuitive and don't remember how I did it.

I am also having the same issue. I have tried using both username and password as well as token authentication and neither works. Token authentication works fine if I use curl. Any updates?

[Ana Henneberke]

Hi!

I am having this problem as well, and I tried twice from scratch no success. Any help?

Hi Anthony,

Can you reattempt the connection configuration as per this page? Remember to delete the old connections, and retry everything again from scratch. :)
