Pull data from a REST API Authentication - JIRA

HI , I'm trying to connect PowerBI to the JIRA REST API.  I am receiving the message "Details: "The 'Authorization' header is only supported when connecting anonymously. These headers can be used with all authentication types: Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Cache-Control, Content-Type, If-Modified-Since, Prefer, Referer""  My connection settings look like this: 2019-04-05_16h42_13.png

 

The same URL is working OK with POSTMAN using Basic Authentication.  I've seen a few similar posts on the forum but nothing has works for me as yet.    Thanks

Problem solved.   This was an issue with cached credentials. The fix was to apply a cache clear as recommended by

Re: Power BI Web cached credentials For OData

 

 Found a way to remove the cached credentials. In Power BI Desktop select File, Options and Settings and then Data Source Settings. Find the data source with the cached settings and use the "Clear Permissions" button to reset. Again, it should be obvious to the user when cached credentials are used and which cached credentials are used. Even in the Data Source Settings form we can't tell which credentials are used with each data source.
