Get Personal Access Token authenticate with Google?

[Ben Steinwand]

{{baseUrlOfYourInstance}}/rest/pat/latest/tokens

Regarding the endpoint to get a PAT, if the user authenticates to JIRA/Confluence with a public SSO like 'sign in with google' what parameters should be used for:

'USERNAME:PASSWORD'

 The email address and password for my associated Google account does not seem to work.

Hi @Ben Steinwand Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Use API token as a Password. 

Username = gmailaddress@gmail.com

Password = Generate API token ( Go to Manage Account >> Security >> Select "Create and Manage API token)

Thanks

Hi Vikrant,

The issue is that I am attempting to get the API token via the endpoint below, which is for getting API tokens - as I understand it. 

/rest/pat/latest/token

This requires authenticate (JIRA/Confluence username and password. I log into JIRA with google. I assume JIRA does not know my Google password. 

Is there a way to use this endpoint to fetch an API token if I authenticate to JIRA with some public SSO provider like 'sign in with Google'?

Hi Ben,

As per my knowledge ,Jira Cloud won’t allow PAT. PATs for Jira Server/Datacenter. API token works in Jira Cloud which you can generate from Manage account.
