Jira API to reset password not working properly

[Michael Angelo Timoteo]

Hi Guys,

I am researching about Jira api to change password using this documentation https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.12.3/?_ga=2.113188228.1250974913.1541665267-149535997.1541665267#api/2/user-changeUserPassword. The lack information and examples make this documentation poor.

Basically I am calling is end point but before that I was able to login and use my JSESSIONID as my cookie. (refer to my screenshot ss1.png)

However, when I am calling the password endpoint I am getting an error that I am not authenticated, also upon checking I am using the same cookie

I figure this out now, I needed basic authentication in order to get this working instead of using cookie
