Self-hosted Jira instances can't use the API token authentication, but must instead rely on the Personal Access Token authentication scheme[1].
This patch introduces support for this authentication method as the third mode of authenticating.
[1] https://jira.readthedocs.io/examples.html#token-auth
This PR is missing a convenient way to specify that this login method is the desired one. Something along the lines of
jipdate --init --auth auth_token/token/password --token abcdefghjkl --server jira.company.com
Personally find the python-jira nomenclature around token/auth_token to be quite confusing so maybe referring to the different tokens as
cloud_token
andpersonal_token
would make more sense.
