Atlassian Connector for Eclipse 3.2.5 - Unable to authenticate with repository

[Pawel Olas]

Hi,

We just switched from self-hosted jira to the cloud solution. So far I wasn't able to connect eclipse to the new server. Are there some extra settings on the server we need to change? The connector worked perfectly with the self-hosted jira.

I use https://company.atlassian.net as the server and my email address as the user ID. Basically, everything exactly the same as for a login to the webpage.

connector responds with:

"Unable to authenticate with repository. Login credentials invalid."

I'm 100% sure that my user and password are correct.

if anyone has the same problem you need to generate a token here:

https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens

and use it as password in the connector.

I used this connector (not sure if this makes any difference)

Works fine for me with Mylyn 3.24.2 without having installed the Mylyn connector of "rastaman"
