Override in jira-config.properties doesn't work

Question

I am running Jira DC 8.21.0 on my Windows desktop. I added jira.websudo.is.disabled = true to jira-config.properties but it doesn't work.

I still see the "You have temporary access to administrative functions." banner in Jira Administration. And yes I did stop and restart Jira.

This is an old bug that was supposedly fixed in version 6 or 7.

Hi @Franklin

You mean you installed on just one node and directory structure looks like server.

It should work ideally, can you check if the jira-config.properties in jira-home directory ?

I should have supplied more information. I installed the Express Version of DC 8.21 on Windows (not AWS EC2) so the directory structure looks just like Jira Server. Perhaps that is the reason why it doesn't work? I followed these instructions:

Hi @Franklin

Since you have mentioned as Jira DC, Did you add jira-config.properties file local jira-home for each node and restarted them ?
