API Token Authentication provides a robust solution for securing API connections to Atlassian Jira and Confluence instances. It addresses critical security vulnerabilities associated with traditional user password authentication, such as password reuse and the difficulty in tracing compromises. By replacing user passwords with personal access tokens, the software helps organizations unveil "shadow IT" connections, gaining full visibility into all existing API connections and diminishing the risk of disclosing sensitive information. The solution offers centralized token management, empowering administrators with comprehensive oversight of API access. It enforces a policy of disallowing direct username and password authentication for APIs, ensuring that only approved connections, facilitated by secure tokens, can interact with the Atlassian ecosystem. Furthermore, API Token Authentication resolves the common challenge where Single Sign-On (SSO) implementations inadvertently disable legitimate API connectivity for everyday users. It restores the ability for users to integrate their preferred tools with Jira and Confluence securely, without compromising the organization's overall security posture.
