Confluence Jira Macro - You do not have permission to create issues on this Jira server.

I meanwhile solved the problem by configuring the application links with oAuth with impersonation both ways. Now it works!

I have seen this error once and it was a while ago so I cannot remember all the items that had to be fixed because it was a different worklife; I confluence reindexed? It was a while ago and if I remember correctly it was a combo of issues; check the browsers and the firewall and time out issues by the browers and JIRA.

Update:

I checked the IIS http Log and it says:

GET /sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml jqlQuery=project%20%3D%20XYZ&returnMax=true&tempMax=20&field=summary&field=type&field=link&_= <some key> &X-ARR-CACHE-HIT=0&X-ARR-LOG-ID=<session-id>&SERVER-STATUS=400 443 - <ip-adress> Apache-HttpClient/4.5.5+(Java/1.8.0_202) - 400 0 0 493

This is preceeded by some 401 - unauthorized errors

in http.sys Log it says at the same time

HTTP/1.1 POST /rest/mywork-client/1/host/verifyAuth - 411 - LengthRequired -

Update:

I also tried the following remedies:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/connecting-to-ldap-or-jira-applications-or-other-services-via-ssl-133817.html

with this

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29585_01/PlatformServices.61x/security/src/csec_ssl_jsp_start_server.html

No avail...

Hello @Thomas Wohlwend !

As I understand, you are having problems to create Jira issues via Confluence.

I have seen this issue when we were accessing Confluence and Jira on the same server and they did not have distinct Context Paths. I suspect that you might be facing the same situation.

However, since I can not be sure about the affecting issue due to the lack of insight on your Confluence server, we should start by looking at the logs from Confluence to check what is happening. If you need more information on the logs, you can check our documentation on logs here:

[Confluence Server] Working with Confluence Logs

Since the issue that you are currently facing is a known one, we have relevant documentation that aims at the solution for this. You can look at it here:

[Confluence Server] Unable to create JIRA issues from Confluence - "You do not have permission to create issues on this JIRA server."

Please, let us hear from you!

Thomas Wohlwend

Hi Diego, thanks for taking the time.

Context path does not apply in my case. I work with subdomains, albeit on the same server.
