since a couple of days, when we access the collections of an external team a guests, postman automatically redirect us to auth.atlassian.com without any reason. We talked with the Team and they didn’t activated anything regarding atlassian / jira.
Jira may auto-authenticate if you’re already logged in via SSO or have an active session cookie. Try clearing cookies or logging out from all sessions to stop it.
I had the same issue and fixed it by deleting all cookies related to the site from Postman’s cookie manager. After that, the weird auto-auth stopped happening.
Turns out it was enforcing new auth redirects even for external users. Switching over to use https://acupowererp.com/products/jira-and-acumatica-cloud-erp for some of our workflows helped bypass manual login issues and kept billing and time tracking in sync.
