Display JIRA content in Confluence for anonymous users of Confluence

I want to display JIRA details such as issue titles, a version roadmap, and the issues raised/resolved graph for projects in a Confluence site. This is fine for folks that are logged in but I need it to work for anonymous access as well. I don't want to have to set up anonymous access in JIRA for the project as it contains other details in the comments, etc.

I have followed everything that I can find as far as setting up Application Links between the two and can get the issues to display if I enter an account in the Basic Access tab of the application links.

Using the developer tools in the browser I can see an OAuth error when the gadget on the Confluence page tries to make a request.

Is there a way that Confluence can impersonate another user when it queries JIRA?

Seems to me that you want to do something impossible. As I understand it, there are the following options for using JIRA content inside Confluence:

  • Use the authenticated user of Confluence in JIRA.
  • Use an anonymous user for public issues in JIRA.
  • Use a pre-determined user (not recommended): This will show in public the user name and password in Confluence.

So you have the following options:

  • Use issue security in JIRA, and set the comments in your issues only be available for a special group.
  • Ensure that the users you want to get access to are not contained in the special group.

See the documentation about "Trusted Communication", especially the following part:

Display the JIRA issues which the logged-in user is authorised to see. And if the user is not logged in, display only issues which allow unrestricted viewing.
