Specifies the type of authentication to use when connecting to Jira. The authentication method determines how the connection is established and how the user’s credentials are verified. This property allows you to choose from various authentication methods, depending on the service requirements and the type of instance being used.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"OAuth"

Remarks

The AuthScheme property defines the method used to authenticate and authorize the user when connecting to Jira. Select the appropriate option based on the service and the type of authentication required. The default value is set to OAuth, which is typically used for secure third-party integrations. For more traditional or internal authentication systems, options like Basic, PAT, or LDAP may be more suitable.

Jira supports the following authentication schemes:

• Anonymous: Set this to allow access to operations that can be used anonymously. You will also need to explicitly set the Timezone for the session.
• OAuth: Set this to use OAuth authentication.
• PAT: Set this to use a Personal Access Token (PAT) for Server instances. PAT is a token-based authentication system used to authenticate to the server without passwords.
• APIToken: Set this to use basic User/APIToken authentication for Cloud instances. This method uses an API token generated by the user for authentication.
• Basic: Set this to use traditional User/Password authentication for Server instances. This method involves providing a username and password for authentication.
• Crowd: Set this to use Crowd SSO (Single Sign-On) authentication, which is used for integrated authentication across multiple applications.
• OKTA: Set this to use OKTA SSO authentication, commonly used for identity management and secure authentication.
• LDAP: Set this to use LDAP authentication, often used in enterprise environments for user management and directory services.
