Login Store is not enabled and cannot be used at this stage

[Krzysztof Kiser]

I've just upgraded my Jira installation to the newest version and after booting up, it throws an error:

Referer URL: Unknown

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Login Store is not enabled and cannot be used at this stage

Any idea on what could the cause be and how to possibly fix it?
I'd rather avoid doing a clean install and restore.

Ran into this problem when upgrading JIRA to 9.4

Added the next two lines to the connector-element in server.xml and JIRA managed to start.

Already resolved. It was an issue with the SSO.

What was the resolution? I'm seeing this too after an upgrade to 8.20.8.

I have same for 8.20.8 :(

@Stephen Hodgson  , @Marcin Jachurski , I accessed Jira via backdoor (skipping sso) using a local account, proceeded with the after upgrade screens and it all got back to normal after that. I was able to use SSO to access Jira again and the error disappeared.
