OAuth: nginx proxy to link confluence with jira

[contact@zoumra.com]

Hello,

trying to clear out the following error when linking jira and confluence:

/rest/applinks/3.0/status/71b63d68-c19a-3ae4-8b5f-29ec14ddfd94 [c.a.a.i.migration.remote.TryWithCredentials] You do not have an authorized access token for the remote resource

The network error prevents both jira and confluence working together, but then my proxy works fin for a separate access:

jira. conf ->

server {
    listen 10.0.1.250:80;
    server_name jira.example.net;
    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://10.0.2.70:8080;
    client_max_body_size 100M;
    }
}

confluence.conf ->

server {
    listen 10.0.1.249:80;
    server_name confluence.example.net;
    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://10.0.2.80:8090;
    client_max_body_size 100M;
    }
    location /synchrony {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://10.0.2.80:8091/synchrony;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
    }
}

Hi,

• When you say they do not work together what do you mean by that?

I believe your issue is addressed in Unable to Search or View JIRA and Confluence links due to "RequestHeader unset Authorization."  While you appear to be using different subdomains, the domain is the same:

•     server_name jira.example.net;

•     server_name confluence.example.net;

The article I mentioned above lists the following symptoms:

From JIRA:

• Can't search for Confluence pages to link to JIRA issues
• Existing links show: "You do not have permission to view this page"

From Confluence:

• Can't search for JIRA issues to include in Confluence pages
• Existing links show: "JIRA issue doesn't exist or you don't have permission to view it"

The following appears in the atlassian-jira.log:

2017-02-24 21:54:23,826 http-nio-2786-exec-3 WARN admin 1314x277x2 rf4lxg 192.168.1.100,192.168.1.100 /rest/applinks/3.0/status/e87b0b73-eaa1-3493-bc27-a5bd27a7de29 [c.a.a.i.migration.remote.TryWithCredentials] You do not have an authorized access token for the remote resource.

The following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log:

2017-02-24 21:53:51,093 WARN [http-nio-2782-exec-2] [internal.migration.remote.TryWithCredentials] execute You do not have an authorized access token for the remote resource.

The article lists the cause as follows:

The VirtualHost for the domain in the proxy config contains this parameter: RequestHeader unset Authorization.

 If JIRA and Confluence use different domains (different VirtualHosts), the parameter doesn't take effect and the problem doesn't happen.

To resolve the issue it is recommended to remove the parameter RequestHeader unset Authorization from the VirtualHost config and restart the proxy.

Try that and let me know if it helps!

Cheers,

Branden

Hello Branden,

thanks for your feedback.

Indeed jira/confluence are subdomains , then adding following vhost directives in nginx:

server {

    #proxy_hide_header Authorization;
     proxy_set_header   Authorization "";

...

}

in jira.conf and confluence.conf, did not resolve the issue.

Is there something wrong
