I’m working on a project where I’ll be using JIRA as my bug tracker ( issue tracker ). My employees will be able to track issues here. However, I have a custom support page, where my employees will be able to sign in with their JIRA credentials (this is a custom login page and not a JIRA login page ). How can I get this user ID/Password authenticated? is there an API that responds with an OAuth token in return for success of this credentials being correct?
Did you end up getting a solution for this?
@RaghavMishra and @gustavo2,
No. Atlassian’s OAuth 2 support for Jira does not support the password credentials grant. Indeed, that OAuth 2 flow is considered legacy and insecure according to OAuth’s own best practices.
