The idea is:
Currently, the only supported type of Jira credentials is the API Token method with Basic Auth. This is problematic because the maximum amount of time a token is allowed to like is 1 year, which means every year the token has to be manually refreshed and changed.
Jira offers a more robust form of authentication, via OAuth 2.0. The credentials are short-lived (60 minutes), but can be refreshed without manual intervention.
My use case:
Real automation with NO manual intervention. Safe executions.
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
Real automation (no manual token generation and refresh) and better security (no long-lived credentials).
Any resources to support this?
Are you willing to work on this?
Absolutely.
