Unable to connect Jira to PBI

[dolevh]

Hey, 

I just try to connect the Jira to PBI with the "Basic" option,
But that I try to put the user name & password it's cannot working. 
Do I need my PBI user name & pass? or something else that I'm missing out

Thanks!

Hello @dolevh 

I’d like to propose and alternative solution for you, you might want to try out our app - Power BI Connector for Jira: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221150/power-bi-connector-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overvie... it's available for Jira Cloud / Server / Data Center.

We have a handy User/Admin Guide https://aserve.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PBCFJC/overview and fast/responsive support team at support@alpha-serve.com. Please let us know if you need any assistance.

Hi, @dolevh 

Please check that the credentials are entered correctly.

You can follow the steps of this blog:

Connecting Jira to Power BI: 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Generate an API Token

Step 2: Download and Install the JIRA Content Pack

Step 3: Add the API Token to the Jira Power BI Content Pack

• Use your email address as your username and the new API Token as your password.

It seems that JIRA is not allowing basic authentication with password any more...

Link to deprecation notice: Deprecation notice - Basic authentication with passwords and cookie-based authentication 

Now, you can use an API key (Manage API tokens for your Atlassian account ) instead of the password.

Refer:

Can't connect Jira to PowerBi

Hope this helps.
