Specifies the authentication scheme used to connect to the Jira instance.

Possible Values

Data Type

string

Default Value

"OAuth"

Remarks

This property controls how the component authenticates against the Jira API. Choose an authentication scheme that matches the configuration of your Jira instance.

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.

The following options are available:

• Anonymous: Set this to connect without authentication. This option is only applicable when the target endpoints support unauthenticated access. You must also set the Timezone connection property explicitly.
• OAuth: Set this to use OAuth 2.0 authentication. This is the recommended method for secure, token-based authentication.
• PAT: Set this to use a Personal Access Token. This option is supported for Server instances of Jira. PAT is a token-based authentication system used to authenticate to the server without passwords.
• APIToken: Set this to use your username and an API token. This method is supported for Cloud instances of Jira and uses an API token generated by the user for authentication.
• Basic: Set this to use your username and password.
• Crowd: Set this to use Crowd SSO (Single Sign-On) authentication. This method is used for integrated authentication across multiple applications.
• Okta: Set this to authenticate through Okta SSO, which provides federated identity management via secure token exchange.
• LDAP: Set this to use LDAP-based authentication, typically used for enterprise environments.
