Confluence failing to sync user directory from Crowd

Rizwan Basha October 23, 2017

We have had Confluence syncing user directory from Crowd for the last several months, and all of a sudden it started to fail synchronization. We have 2 directories defined in Crowd - an Active Directory and a custom directory implemented using the RemoteDirectory interface of Crowd. It had been working with no issues until recently. We have JIRA and Confluence syncing user directories from the same instance of Crowd. JIRA is still functioning with no problems, but Confluence started to fail in synchronization. in every attempt of syncing, it takes over 10 minutes and fail. The fact that JIRA is not affected tells me that the problem may lie on Confluence end.  We are using Confluence version 6.1.2.

Can anyone please help me resolve this.  Here is the log information with stack trace:

We have resolved this issue.  This was a timeout being caused by a very slow method in the implementation of RemoteDirectory interface in Crowd.  We have implemented RemoteDirectory interface in Crowd in order to implement a custom user directory from our database.  A recent change in one of the methods made it too slow.  We fixed that method and the timeout issue is fixed.  However, JIRA was not affected by this because JIRA, for some unknown reason, was not making the calls to the slow method, and Confluence was.

Hi Rizwan,
Can you please provide more information about your fix (the method) and what means "remoteDirectory interface". Is it related to the time out of the user/admin session in Crowd interface.? Because I am facing sync error whith a similar configuration that yours and the time out in Crowd is very very short.

Thanks in advance

Arnold
