Confluence page search from jira does not return any results.

[Kaan]

When we are trying to link a confluence page to a jira issue, we are using search feature from JIRA - add link. The search does not return any results and we got the following error in the Jira applog;

2015-10-03 11:02:35,698 http-bio-8081-exec-15 ERROR jirauser 662x3893x1 44uoyo 192.168.1.99,127.0.0.1 /rest/viewIssue/1/remoteIssueLink/render/10000 [viewissue.issuelink.rest.RemoteIssueLinkResource] Error occurred while generating final HTML for remote issue link: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Failed to load Confluence Page from remote server Caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to load Confluence Page from remote server Caused by: com.atlassian.sal.api.net.ResponseException: Status Code: 200, Status Text: OK, Errors: {}, Error Messages: [java.lang.Exception: com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.RemoteException: You're not allowed to view that page, or it does not exist.]

The error message says most of what you need to know - your user doesn't have the right to see the page, or it doesn't exist. 

Check that the user can see it in Confluence and check that your application links are set up correctly.
