Hi Santhosh,

Here is the document that covers that issue for Confluence 5.10.x Data Center: Adding and Removing Data Center Nodes:

You can use the confluence.cluster.node.name system property to set the node identifier on each node so that it's easier for your users and administrators to read.

See Configuring System Properties for more information on how to set the system property.

For this question the answer was the same for Confluence 6.10 but the documents were hard to find because Confluence 5.10.x has reached End of Life status. Here is a good article for when you are ready to start planning an upgrade: Upgrading Confluence Data Center

Thanks,

Ann

My pleasure. Here is an example of the catalina options portion of a setenv.sh with the cluster node name system property included in the last entry:

CATALINA_OPTS="-XX:-PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:-PrintTenuringDistribution ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Xloggc:$LOGBASEABS/logs/gc-`date +%F_%H-%M-%S`.log -XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation -XX:NumberOfGCLogFiles=5 -XX:GCLogFileSize=2M ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-XX:G1ReservePercent=20 ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Datlassian.plugins.enable.wait=300 ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:+UseG1GC ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dorg.apache.tomcat.websocket.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE=32768 ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="${START_CONFLUENCE_JAVA_OPTS} ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dconfluence.context.path=${CONFLUENCE_CONTEXT_PATH} ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dconfluence.cluster.node.name=node1 ${CATALINA_OPTS}"

export CATALINA_OPTS

I look forward to hearing whether it works in your staging environment. If it works, the node name should be displayed in email notifications and in the footer.

Hello Ann worley

I am facing in conflunece ldap sync fail issue and Every possible way by me tried but not resolved can you suggest me to how toresolve

Please help me if you required i wil provide logs also

Thanks

AnnWorley

Hi Santhosh,

I understand from your other question that the LDAP sync fails and the error in the log is "Error occurred while refreshing the cache for directory". When you clear the caches under Confluence Admin>Cache management it does not refresh the cache of users from LDAP in the Confluence database. To do that, please:

Log in with an administrator account from the internal Confluence user directory.
Edit the Novell LDAP user directory under Confluence Admin>User Directories (the edit link will not show if you are logged in under LDAP)
Note the settings.
Disable the existing LDAP user directory.
Create a new User Directory using the same settings and sync it - a new user cache will be created.
Test logging in with a user from the LDAP directory.
Delete the disabled LDAP user directory if the new one works.

I am pretty sure this is what Mikael Sandberg meant when he recommended that you "delete the existing user directory and recreate it".

I look forward to hearing the result.

Thanks,

Ann
