OAuth authentication

[gustavkarlsson]

Plaintext passwords should still be supported though.

Jira's java rest client doesn't yet support OAuth, so this would require some amount of hacking, possibly replacing the underlying http client.

it seems that there is an example how oauth should be used

would it be possible to integrate this?

[gustavkarlsson]

Yes. It's possible, although it would require some effort. This is definitely a feature I'm planning on adding at some point. Is this something you need @eloo?

[eloo]

@gustavkarlsson yeah would really great to have this implemented so we don't need to use a normal(tech) user.

I would love to see this as well. 👍
