I have read multiple documents saying that the only thing you need to do to get off the embedded java that is located in /jira/jre/ is to change the line in setenv.sh to: JAVA_HOME="/path/to/new/jre" then I stop the service then start it back everything comes back up but I cannot log in with my account after and have had several other users try. I installed openJDK version 1.8.0.262 which the version 7.13.x that I am on should take all 1.8 java versions. I point it to the location of the new jre within the setenv.sh which is JAVA_HOME="usr/lib/jvm/jre"
What am i missing here? I have never had switching java versions just some how break authentication. Is there a way that i can move the java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.262.b10-0.el6_10.x86_64 to the /atlassian/jira/jre/ directory and some how get the embedded java to read off of that? Just not quite sure what is occurring seeing how all the forums and documentation make it seem so straight forward?
