Constant having to log back in to Jira and Confluence

[Graham Statham]

Jira and Confluence are constantly requesting users to log in. Almost every link will directly you to a log in prompt. I've valided the session time in web.xml (60 mins). Unable to find in the logging why the users are being requested to log back in. We're running latest version of Confluence and Jira on https and ssl. Both Confluence and Jira are running on the same server under different ports.

I think the problem has been solved. It had to do with how the jira and confluence cookies are stored. Since both apps have the same url, they were stomping on each others cookie data. I changed the session id as described in link below (see last comments) and the problem seems to have gone away. Thanks.

What authentication methods are you using? (off-the-shelf, shared crowd, crowd standalone, ldap, etc)

What do the logs for those services say? Are you asking users to set the "remember me" flag?
