They also somehow provided us with a URL to the dashboard with an auth token in it which would be valid forever and thus should not be shared.

This is all I have left from the Atlassian partner that config'd this for us long ago - OBSS was the partner
-------------------------------------------------
I have developed a different and more elegant solution to allow unauthorized access to a certain Jira endpoints from a specified list of IPs. In my new solution, we do not need to write any extra PHP scripts, install and configure PHP etc. Basically we are going to check IP address and user agent of the client that make request and add authentication header if all the conditions are met. Here are the conditions that must be met:

1. The reqeust must be made to Jira wallboard endpoint (ie. /jira/plugins/servlet/Wallboard)
2. The request must be made from an allowed IP address (We can define multiple)
3. The client that made request must have allowed user-agent (ie. Zoom Rooms Digital Signage) signature. This is an extra precaution to prevent possible HTTP session conflicts with the real users who share same public IP address with Zoom Rooms Digital Signage.

All of the above conditions must met in order to pass client to Jira as an authenticated-user. This solution needs only Apache configuration modification on Atlas server, we need to access and modify Apache configuration file(s) accordingly.

Also looking for this from customer requests

+1 I'm in too! Need this feature despite the issue beeing closed already

yeah its shame they dont have this. We would love this capability as well 

Please can reconsider allowing  wallboards/ kanban boards to be publicly viewable?  We want to display our kanban boards for various project  on interoffice tv's w/o having to login as a user or setup an additional account. 

+1 Banging my head up against the same thing

@paul Same same! +1

As would I

I would also be interested in hearing the solution for this if someone has time to write it out.

Thanks!

Any chance you can find out Paul? I think you'd make a lot of people quite happy!

It IS possible but I'm not clear on how it works.  Our Jira implementation partner figured it out.  A user exists and a token exists that does not expire for that user.  The token goes in the URL to the dashboard and bam, anyone with the URL can see the dashboard.  We restrict it to certain source IPs on top of that token requirement.

has this been fixed? Looking to share my wallboard to the team internally however not everyone has a Jira login which we want to keep. Just wanted to follow up to see if this was possible? 

We need a solution for a wallboard that can be accessed by any holder of link, but not guessable, with no login at all.

Hi, we'd like to make this wallboard "Slideshow" visible as a public/shareable link so that we can view our sprint health on a monitor that does not require a logged in user to put their credentials on a computer that is not "secure"

This is such a fundamental feature on any product that claims being an agile project management tool that this not being an ootb feature in JIRA is beyond frustrating. Not being able to display a scrum board or a burndown chart on a TV set without that requiring your wasting a user account just in doing so (or exposing your entire project to the public) defies one of the main points of using programatic agile solutions instead of old fashioned (but effective) practices like covering a big wall with post-its.

Jira team: I hope you understand this is so basic that it should be considered part of your immediate roadmap (which lists boards as one of the priorities... although not dashboards... so go wonder... maybe we need to wait several years for this being implemented... as with many other critical, fundamental features in the backlog)

I am currently evaluating Jira Cloud and was disappointed when I found that this feature was not available.  This feature is a must-have for our company.

This is a much needed feature for our company as well. We are in the exact same situation as Dave Page, with RPI's all around. We'd like to avoid having our safety credentials lost in case one of them should disappear...

My team would benefit from this as well.

We have the same use case, except via ScreenCloud. There is no integration directly, so the only option is a publicly viewable URL that requires no login. It's not desirable to open up the entire project/filters/etc to the world, just a publicly-viewable dashboard.

This would be extremely useful for us. At present we have a number of wallboards being displayed on Raspberry Pi's connected to large wall mounted monitors. Every one of them has to be logged into using a users credentials which a) is clearly a security issue and b) is quite inconvenient to do whenever the Pi is restarted or the browser crashes.
