I'm attempting to create a new Jira issue using Jira's REST API through the Nintex Web Request action. The HTML response I get asks me to "please sign in", even though I am supplying my username and password in the action configuration. My JSON is fine according to a developer on our company's Jira team as he was able to create an Issue card using his tool with it.

I've read up on Jira's Basic Authentication, but I have no idea what to do with this in my workflow. The Basic Authentication and the REST API both refer to using a curl command to receive authentication. Do I need to do this somehow?

Does anyone have any experience with Jira in Nintex Workflow that can assist me with this? I may need some hand holding so I appreciate your time and patience in advance.
