Is there a way to login to a specific node?

[Alex Moore]

My customer has 3 Jira DC nodes running and we need to access Node1 for testing, however each time we load the dashboard it opens Node3.

Is there a URL or a way to force specific nodes?

This is not under the control of Jira DC, but the load balancer. 

If those 3 nodes are behind a firewall and can't be accessed directly, there could be some rule on the load balancer which would force choosing a specific node. This could be done based on some cookie value for example. 

How sticky session are configured currently? Look at examples here:

where the node id is part session cookie.

Hello @Alex Moore ,

This question also confuses me.

Right now, I can only use the "New Private Window" function of firefox. I will switch sites randomly after logging in a few times.

Looking forward to other easy ways to do this.
