Hello To All,
I had a question regarding using automation in backing up our Jira Cloud files. I took a look at the below link:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-automate-backups-for-jira-cloud-applications-779160659.html
and the first thing that stood out that presented a risk was populating the script with a username and a password. I am uncertain of how effective using:
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username, (ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force))
method is and because of that uncertainty I am very hesitant on using it. I wanted to ask the forum if anyone has used, "oauth"
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/jira-rest-api-oauth-authentication/
in a script to automatically create and pull backups from a Cloud Jira instance using PowerShell or my preferred scripting language of Python. Using this method would omit having to use a username/password in a script and would give me greater piece of mind. In brainstorming, I was thinking of leveraging our local password vault in someway into the equation. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
