SSO Button Not Show After Upgrade Confluence from 8.5.3 to 8.5.5

[Danny Kwok]

After upgrade to Confluence 8.5.5, the SSO button on the login page was gone.

Checked the config of the app "Microsoft Azure Active Directory single sign-on for Confluence" is corrected.

And try to re-install the app and got the same result.

Anyone can tell what I was missed?

Hi @Danny Kwok

Thank you for flagging this. Can you please reach out to Atlassian Support so we can try to investigate and replicate the issue you're seeing?

Thank you,

Has there been a resolution here? I know the app doesn't officially support 8.5.5, but kind of hard to choose between installing a security patch to confluence or having the ability for users to sign in...

This is a work-around - of sorts:
If users use the link as shown below they will be able to login, and then use Confluence as usual afterwards. 

https://<base_url_to_confluence>/plugins/servlet/saml/auth

This is by no means an elegant solution, but until a fix for the bug is found it does allow users to get in to Confluence.

(We also got the same issue after updating to 8.5.5 on Friday)

nginx rewrite rule

rewrite /login.action?(.*)$ /plugins/servlet/saml/auth last;

The SSO button able to show on the login page after Installed 8.5.4 at this Monday.

But we target to use 8.5.5 with SSO

Where is the fix for this, what is wrong?

We had to run the Datacenter version of the Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on for Confluence on our Server 8.5.4 instance.

Now I've lifted test to 8.8.0 and there is:

• No more way to install the plugin manually
• Unable to install the plugin from the marketplace because the plugin is listed to only support 8.6.2

BUT since it doesn't seem to work with 8.5.5 how can I be sure it works with 8.6.2 ?

do you have nginx as proxy? if yes - use rewrite rule above.

I used the official workaround instead.

Next we're moving from the Microsoft Plugin to Atlassian SSO for Data Center instead.
