Admin Issues After Upgrade

Shaun January 1, 2021

We upgraded from JIRA Server 8.5.4 to 8.14.0 and everything went smoothly, but I am no longer able to authenticate as admin. I can login to my account, but it doesn't take my password when I attempt to access items in the JIRA Administration menu. I tried this process and am unable to login as recovery_admin: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-972329273.html

Also, Logout isn't working either. Everything else seems to be working fine. I have access to the database as well, if I need to update permissions there.

I had to manually re-add my SSL connector to server.xml and it started working. Looking at the browser console log clued me into the fact that some URLs weren't using SSL.

Hi Shaun,

except for the "recovery admin" which is probably in internal user directory - do you you any SSO solution and/or external user directory like Active Directory/LDAP?

Daniel

Hi!

could you check the console log of your browser? 

and check logs in atlassian-jira.log, please?

Looks like something with seraph
