Authentication within JIRA Server Add On

Jira Development Jira Server

You can run ‘local’ rest calls unauthenticated, so long as you ‘set’ the JiraAuthenticationContext to be the security context for the operation.

TrustedRequestFactory fRequestFactory; // constructor injected
JiraAuthenticationContext jac = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext();
ApplicationUser currentUser = jac.getLoggedInUser();
try
{
String path="/rest/greenhopper/latest/rapidviews/list"
UserManager userManager= ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
ApplicationUser runAsUser = userManager.getUserByName("admin");
jac.setLoggedInUser(runAsUser);
String baseUrl=ComponentAccessor.getApplicationProperties().getString(APKeys.JIRA_BASEURL);
String fullUrl=baseUrl+path;
TrustedRequest req = fRequestFactory.createTrustedRequest(MethodType.GET, fullUrl);
req.addTrustedTokenAuthentication(getHostname(baseUrl));
String asStr=req.execute();
}
finally
{
	jac.setLoggedInUser(currentUser);
}

I haven’t tested your particular URL, but it should work.
