How to enable "Upload App" in Confluence version 9.5.2 data center

[demo]

Hi Team,

           I am using confluence data center version 9.5.2. I need to setup the SSO login for my users and trying to upload the plugins .obr file to complete the setup.

But, In my version, I couldn't find the UPLOAD APP option. I do see for the security reason this option was disabled. Is there any temporary solution to make it enable and perform my installation.

I have tried to change the setenv.sh file but still no effect. 

Appreciate your help.

How do I enable the “Upload App” option in Confluence Data Center 9.5.2?

The “Upload App” feature is disabled by default in newer Confluence versions for security reasons, but you can temporarily enable it by following these steps:

• Stop Confluence on all nodes.
• Open your setenv.sh (Linux) or setenv.bat (Windows) file.
• Add this line:

-Dupm.plugin.upload.enabled=true

• For Linux, it should look like:

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dupm.plugin.upload.enabled=true ${CATALINA_OPTS}"

• Save the file and restart Confluence.
• You should now see the “Upload App” button under Manage Apps.
• Once your plugin is uploaded, it’s best to remove the line and restart again for security.

I have added this into the setenv.sh file and rebooted the services. But still am hitting the same issue.

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dupm.plugin.upload.enabled=true ${CATALINA_OPTS}"

Hi @demo

If you are running Confluence as a service on Windows, you may need to take additional steps to configure the system property, as listed here.

Otherwise, please check the startup logs to see if the setting is being applied. 

• After upgrading Confluence, "Upload app" under Manage Apps isn't visible.
