Trying to login on port 8085 that uses http and not https, but it does not log me in

Question

Morning,

I am trying to use tunneling following the following directions:

Configure required connections and upstream ports | Atlassian Support

I setup in server.xml 8093 connector like it says and put the java option in setenv.sh:

-Dsecure.tunnel.upstream.port=8093

The tunnel is pointing at http://myserver.domain.com:8093/bamboo (yes, path=/bamboo).

web.xml does not show any security-constaint like they mention in that article.

When I go to establish the tunnel it brings me to the login page.  When I try to login though, it just brings me back to the login page each time I enter the login/password and submit.

I then tried directly to go via my browser to http://myserver.domain.com:8093/bambo and even http://myserver.domain.com:8085/bamboo and they do the same thing, so it does not seem to be a tunnel plugin thing.

Some customers out there got this working, but I am not sure how they got around it not being happy about doing any admin pages on a non-secure port (i.e., https).  I am guessing this is seraph maybe related (or whatever the code is that handles this login/admin stuff.

Please note I do understand that they do not list bamboo as a supported application for this tunnel plugin.

Hello @David Shapiro

Bamboo works by default with HTTP port 8085/TCP. We are not sure what changes you have made to the <bamboo-install>/conf/server.xml file that could have caused that behaviour.

We recommend you roll back the original settings as they should just work with HTTP normally.

If you still have issues, we recommend you reach out to Atlassian by opening a ticket. Please do not post private information on this forum as it is public.

Thanks, I already voted there.  Why cannot I log in with 8085 on http?  Only https works?  Is there a way around this?

Hello @David Shapiro

Application Tunnels is still not supported by Bamboo. We have an open feature request that documents the requirement:

* BAM-21849 - Add support for application tunnel in Bamboo

We recommend you add yourself as a watcher so you will be notified once the feature request status moves forward. It is also important that you vote on that feature request as it gives our Developers numbers to consider it on a future release. To know more about how we prioritise new features please check our Implementation of New Features Policy.

If you are looking to link Jira Cloud and Bamboo please follow this KB article for instructions:
