Products

• ConnectAll SaaS
• ConnectALL
• ConnectAll On-Prem

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to ValueOps ConnectALL 4.2.0, automations for JIRA Cloud connections may fail. This issue occurs when the user interface incorrectly auto-populates or overwrites API tokens with browser-saved credentials.

Symptoms:

• Automations fail with an Inauth error.
• The password or API token field is overwritten during automation modifications.
• Clicking the magnifier next to a connection wipes the existing password field.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Modify any automation on SaaS environment.
• Just click the magnifier next to the JIRA connection, and it validates successfully. Without hitting re-configure or configure here. This re-fills my API token in the Password field.
• Navigate  back to the automations page and reopened to modify that automation. Fields load fine from Rally and JIRA. 

Expected Results: 

• Connection manager page should not wipe the  API password.

Actual Results:

• Connection manager page has wiped  API password again.

Environment

• ConnectALL Saas 
• ConnectALL On Prem

Cause

Defect DE205153. The ConnectALL UI auto-populates the sync user and password fields with credentials saved in the browser (e.g., Chrome password manager), which overwrites the correct API tokens.

Resolution

Fixed in release 4.2.2 and higher.
