Jira Server connection with API key

Hey, we are currently hosting a Jira on a server and want to use it in N8N workflows.
However, we have problems with the only authentication method for Jira server username:password pair. The basic authentication method is not possible in our environment and we are looking into using API or Personal Access Tokens for authentication to our Jira server. But this is no option currently in N8N and we are not able to connect Jira in our workflows.
Is there a way to circumvent this restriction and use the Jira functionalities in N8N with a Personal Access Token or API key for a Jira server?

Thank you for any information you can give.

hello @wovari

have you tried to use the Jira SW Cloud Credentials?

Hey, the JIRA SW Cloud credentials don’t seem to work for an on-prem Jira server. There seems to be some differences in usage and in the n8n code, there are also functionalities split based on if the credentials are Cloud or Server based.
