Authentication

note

Auth credentials use URL-keyed nested dicts (e.g. auth.confluence["https://company.atlassian.net"]) and cannot be mapped to flat ENV var names. Use cme config edit auth.confluence or cme config set for auth configuration.

The fastest way to set credentials is the interactive menu:

cme config edit auth.confluence
cme config edit auth.jira

Confluence​

auth.confluence.url​

Confluence instance URL.

  • Default: ""

auth.confluence.username​

Confluence username/email.

  • Default: ""

auth.confluence.api_token​

Confluence API token.

  • Default: ""

auth.confluence.pat​

Confluence Personal Access Token.

  • Default: ""

auth.confluence.cloud_id​

Atlassian Cloud ID for the Confluence instance. When set, API calls are routed through the Atlassian API gateway (https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/{cloud_id}), which enables the use of scoped API tokens.

For Atlassian Cloud instances (.atlassian.net) this is fetched and stored automatically on first connection. You can also set it manually. See How to retrieve your Atlassian Cloud ID.

  • Default: ""

Jira​

auth.jira.url​

Jira instance URL.

  • Default: ""

auth.jira.username​

Jira username/email.

  • Default: ""

auth.jira.api_token​

Jira API token.

  • Default: ""

auth.jira.pat​

Jira Personal Access Token.

  • Default: ""

auth.jira.cloud_id​

Atlassian Cloud ID for the Jira instance. Works identically to auth.confluence.cloud_id above, routing API calls through https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloud_id}.

For Atlassian Cloud instances this is fetched and stored automatically on first connection.

  • Default: ""

Generating API tokens​

API tokens that are associated with Atlassian Cloud accounts can be generated in your 'Account Settings' (in Jira/Confluence: profile picture in upper-right corner → Account Settings → Security → Create and Manage API tokens).

Scoped API tokens require 'classic' scopes; these scopes have been tested (giving full read-only access):

read:confluence-content.all
read:account
read:confluence-content.permission
read:confluence-content.summary
read:confluence-groups
read:confluence-props
read:confluence-space.summary
read:confluence-user
read:me
readonly:content.attachment:confluence
search:confluence
