cURL baseURL is not working

[Miłosz Pawłowski]

Hey,

I'm getting error while trying to change baseURL via cURL, I'm using this command:

test='Authorization: Bearer PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN' && curl -v -H "$test" -X PUT https://subdomain.domain.org/jira/rest/api/2/settings/baseUrl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"baseURL": "https://subdomain.domain.org/jira"}'

And I'm getting this error:

< HTTP/1.1 400

{"errorMessages":["The specified URL is not valid."],"errors":{}}% 

What could be the issue?

Let me ask you a better question. How often do you change baseUrl. Does it really matter enough not to change it in web UI?

If you happen to have a valid use case, then okay, but I can't help but doubt it.

Also it turns out it isn't json it wants. It's a confused endpoint. It still wants a json content type, but it just wants a single string in data.

I.e. `-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d 'https://test.com'` this worked.

It worked! Such small change, thank you sir!

We are cloning our instance quite often and we needed that to finish our process.

Ah, makes sense.

Personally I find https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/change-the-base-url-of-jira-server-in-the-database-733940375.html a bit nicer (as with cloning there's typically plenty SQL stuff to do anyway, e.g. licenses or applinks and so on so it kinda blends in).

I wanted to use DB queries, but we couldn't change certificate for SSO via DB, but it's possible via cURL. Some cURLs:

//Change URL:

test='Authorization: Bearer PAT' && curl -v -H "$test" -X PUT https://server.org/jira/rest/api/2/settings/baseUrl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d 'https://server.org/jira/'

//Change license:

test='Authorization: Bearer PAT' && curl -v -H "$test" -X POST https://server.org/jira/rest/plugins/applications/1.0/installed/jira-software/license/ -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.atl.plugins+json" -d '{"licenseKey":"LICENSE_KEY"}'

//Turn off outgoing mail server:

test='Authorization: Bearer PAT' && curl -v -H "$test" -X PUT https://server.org/jira/rest/jira-mail-plugin/1.0/outgoingMail/config -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "enabled": "false" }'

//Change SSO certificate:

test='Authorization: Bearer PAT' && curl -v -H "$test" -X PATCH https://server.org/jira/rest/authconfig/1.0/idps/1 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "certificate": "SSO_CERT" }'
