Problem: For Jira instances with CAS implemented ‘Unable to connect’ error arises while trying to import data into Power BI Desktop

Solution: Whitelist Authentication.

Whitelisting Authentication include 3 steps:

  • Shutdown Jira

  • Modify web.xml

  • Start Jira

 

  1. Shutdown Jira

Make sure Jira is shut down.

web.xml file exists in the following location (note, JIRA_INSTALL by default is set to the /opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/ directory): JIRA_INSTALL/WEB-INF/

  1. Modify web.xml

 

Modify the web.xml file, add the following strings to the filter org.jasig.cas.client.authentication.AuthenticationFilter:

<init-param> <param-name>ignorePattern</param-name> <param-value>plugins/servlet/biconnect/odata</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>ignoreUrlPatternType</param-name> <param-value>CONTAINS</param-value> </init-param>

 

  1. Start Jira
