I've just spent two days trying to figure out why a fresh Jira install wouldn't start. There was nothing relevant on google for the error message:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not implemented for JIRA bootstrap time at com.atlassian.jira.security.login.BootstrapLoginManagerImpl.performElevatedSecurityCheck(BootstrapLoginManagerImpl.java:34) [classes/:?] at com.atlassian.jira.security.login.JiraElevatedSecurityGuard.performElevatedSecurityCheck(JiraElevatedSecurityGuard.java:22) [classes/:?] at com.atlassian.seraph.filter.PasswordBasedLoginFilter.runAuthentication(PasswordBasedLoginFilter.java:117) [atlassian-seraph-3.0.3.jar:?] at com.atlassian.seraph.filter.PasswordBasedLoginFilter.login(PasswordBasedLoginFilter.java:78) [atlassian-seraph-3.0.3.jar:?] at com.atlassian.seraph.filter.BaseLoginFilter.doFilter(BaseLoginFilter.java:110) [atlassian-seraph-3.0.3.jar:?] at com.atlassian.jira.web.filters.JiraLoginFilter.doFilter(JiraLoginFilter.java:77) [classes/:?] at com.atlassian.core.filters.AbstractHttpFilter.doFilter(AbstractHttpFilter.java:32) [atlassian-core-5.0.8.jar:?] at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:192) [catalina.jar:8.5.6] at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:165) [catalina.jar:8.5.6]

The config doesn't exist because it's a new installation. I don't know what jira is doing here but it was nonsensical.
Solution
I don't even know why I tried it but when I opened the page using an incognito window the page loads and the error isn't thrown. I assume that there is something screwed up with how cookies are handled, which I have set for other domains. Absolutely infuriating.
I just wanted to post this in case somebody else runs into the same issue.
The config isn't there because it's a fresh installation. I was expecting to see the guided configuration in the browser.
I've edited the initial post to try and make clear that the solution was to use an incognito browser window to avoid cookie / cache issues which seem to have caused the problem.
Good to see you have a solution .
