Allow route (/server-info) without authentication

[Chris]

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to connect Jira mobile to my Jira 8.3 Server instance, but the app can’t check the version of the server.

I found a post containing a resolution, but have no idea how to implement it.
The suggested resolution is the following: „To resolve this issue, you will need to configure your custom filter to allow <jira-base-url>/server-info to pass through without authentication.“

Where do I edit the filter?

Kind regards,

Chris

Dear @Chris ,

I don't know about this hack but in general all Jira-Server instances are open for this kind of requests by default:

https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/2/serverInfo

This one shows the information of Atlassian's main issue tracking server. You can validate yours, when you point this request to your server, without being logged in you Jira.

So long

Thomas

Hi there Thomas, 

just found the error.
The base url was set to http, but nginx rerouted every request to https. 
After setting the base url to https, everything works just fine.

Thanks a lot for the hint!

Kind regards, 

Chris
