Description

Problem Definition

Confluence should provide the same authentication options present in other tools for REST calls. FishEye and Crucible can be used as an example:

https://developer.atlassian.com/server/fisheye-crucible/authenticating-rest-requests/

Why this is important

For some customers, basic authentication is not an option due to security concerns.

Workaround

Use basic authentication.

Notes

If possible, add support for OAuth version 2 for authentication when implementing extra methods.
