Jira + confluence authentication issue

damien-specim

Hi,

I'm having trouble with authentication. On the same server I have installed jira (port 8080), crucible (port 8060) and confluence (port 8090).

I have setup trusted application links between jira and crucible, jira and confluence

Jira + crucible authentication works fine. I just click on the source tab from jira and it goes where it should in fisheye.

Jira + confluence on the other end is quite problematic. Every time I switch from jira to confluence or vice versa, the authentication of the preview application is lost. Worst even, having confluence activities on the jira dashboard automatically invalidate my jira credentials making the system un-unusable.

On confluence "External user management" is checked to delegate to jira.

All applications are running as services on Win2008 server and have dedicated databases on a MS MSQL server.

Has anybody seen such issues?

Thanks

As expected both applications were using the same cookie for storing the session. I modified the registry according to those instructions:

Hi Damien,

i am missing a name like "Crowd" i.e. to provide (what i think your goal is) some SSO feature.

telling confluence to use jiras user directory won't enable single-sign-on between both applications.

that's where Atlassian Crowd is comming in pretty smooth.

this will allow (after some few configuration) accessing all your apps with only one active login session.

is this what your aiming at?

sorry if i may misunderstood your request

Hi thanks for helping!

It is not just a mising SSO feature (which is you are correct the intended target) but a bad configuration or bug; I'm not sure.

I try to explain the authentication problem again as a workflow

I open let say confluence a tab and log in: no problem
10 seconds later I open jira in a second tab or window and log in: no problem
10 seconds later I go back to the first tab: my confluence session is not valid anymore
I log again in confluence
10 seconds later I go back to the jira tab: my jira session is not valid anymore

It looks to me that both application would be sharing / deleting each others session.

Because of this, if i log into jira, my jira session is instantly deleted because the activity stream set on the dashboard is collecting data from confluence.
