      Issue Summary

      The document Upgrade a Bitbucket cluster through the API without downtime provides the user with a warning:

      Authenticating REST API calls

      In a secure environment, you'll need to authenticate your REST API calls. See Personal access tokens and Bitbucket Server REST API Example - Basic Authentication for more information.

      However, /rest/zdu endpoints can't be authenticated with HTTP tokens.

      This is reproducible on Data Center: yes

      Steps to Reproduce

      Upgrade a Bitbucket cluster through the API without downtime

      Expected Results

      Only basic authentication is mentioned. HTTP access tokens are referred instead of Personal Access Tokens.

      Actual Results

      A generic message about REST authentication is displayed that can mislead the customers.

      Workaround

      Use only basic authentication for ZDU endpoints.
