Resolution

Atlassian announced that basic authentication (username-password) and cookie-based authentication are depreciated. From 3rd June 2019, connections to REST endpoint in JIRA or Confluence Cloud have to use an API token, OAuth, or Atlassian Connect. See Deprecation notice - Basic authentication with passwords and cookie-based authentication.

To authenticate successfully:

  • For JIRA Server: use username and password 

    JIRA Server is not affected by basic authentication having been deprecated.

  • For JIRA Cloud: use an email address in the username field and an API token in the password field.

    Ensure that the token is valid and has not yet expired.
