keycloak integration to Jira using restful calls

[Geoffrey Jennings]

We have built a Jira interface that lives on top of Jira that uses rest calls to get information. (i cant just use JIRA) It allows for edititng, assigning, creating and more of tickets using rest calls in JAVA. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with authenticating this through keycloak or another OpenID SSO? my issue is all of the calls are using username/password and i am not going to be able to collect that from keycloak.

(currently using 

<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
<artifactId>jira-rest-java-client-core</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency> 

)

We did something similar and used this app: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217643/extender-for-jira

It provided two key functions:

• Use a REST API token to connect as a "service user" (administrator)
• Run REST API on behalf of another user

P.S. I have no affiliation with this app other than having purchased it and being a satisfied user.
