TestLink user name in Jira

[ohenneberg]

We have an integration to Jira from Testlink, but how do we get the Testlink user name as Reporter name in Jira?

This is not possible.
In order to reduce the level of coupling between both user spaces (TestLink and JIRA) choice has been:
use JUST ONE system/service user defined on JIRA to create items on JIRA via API.
IMHO this is simpler way to go.

You can do a customization (and the share with community) to use WHEN REPORTING to jira the logged user, but attention this means that in someway
(may be LDAP/ACTIVE DIRECTORY) you have to be password in sync, but here another issue arise:
if JIRA wants a password on API (SOAP or REST) you will need to have it clear text on some place.
If there is a call (i do not know) that allow you to change reporter after issue has been created this can be another option

IMHO best option can be:
use feature as is and then (ok is more work) someone can change on JIRA the reported when analising the issues.
Do not know if this is possible via GUI, and if is possible via API call.
