      In JIRA, you need to append &os_authType=basic to the URL to get it to accept standard HTTP Basic auth. Hardly anyone knows about this, and people fall back to using &os_username=..&os_password=.. params, which is even less secure.

      JIRA should accept HTTP Basic auth by default, without any magic parameters.
