How to authenticate against the OnDemand JIRA REST API by using google account?

[Yang Yu]

Dear all,

I usually use my google account to login OnDemand JIRA site to track all my issues.

Today, I'm trying to use REST API to operate those issues, then, I found this page https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOCSPRINT/The+Simplest+Possible+JIRA+REST+Examples, I followed those steps, but it keep telling me "Encountered a <code>401 - Unauthorized</code> error while loading this page" and something like this.

Or, does that mean I should NOT use "HTTP BASIC Authorisation" to authenticate my google account?

Here is my command line:

curl -u yyu@navidao.com:******** https://navidao.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/SEARCH-5.json

Could anyone give me some other reference or hint, that would be very helpful?

Thanks very much~

When you first logged in as a Google user to the system, you would have been prompted to create an "OnDemand" password, used for things like Subversion or authenticated RSS feed access. This is the password you will need to use when using the JIRA API.

If you can't remember this password, please see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Changing+Your+Password+in+Atlassian+OnDemand
