Unable to Login after migrating JIRA Cloud to Data Center

Nevermind June 25, 2024

I recently migrated our JIRA instance from JIRA Cloud to JIRA Data Center. I followed the steps outlined in the official migration guide (link: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/migrating-from-jira-cloud-to-data-center-applications-938846963.html\) to import the backup data into the new JIRA Data Center environment.

 

After completing the import process, I encountered an issue with accessing the system using the sysadmin account. The login attempt resulted in the following message:

 

<warning>
<message>Login form has been disabled on this instance.</message>
</warning>

I am unable to proceed further and require assistance to resolve this login issue. Thank you for your help.

I fixed this by updating the table 

com.atlassian.plugins.authentication.sso.config.show-login-form

Few Things you can do is 

Config File Check:

  • Check the jira-config.properties and seraph-config.xml files for any custom settings that might disable the login form.
    • These files are located in the <JIRA_HOME>/jira-config.properties and <JIRA_INSTALL>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/seraph-config.xml.
  • Reindex:

    • Sometimes, reindexing can resolve issues after migration. Reindex your JIRA instance to ensure all data is correctly indexed.
  • Access the Database:

    • Connect to your JIRA database using a database client.
  • Verify sysadmin Account:

    • Check if the sysadmin account is active and has the correct permissions.
    • SELECT * FROM cwd_user WHERE user_name = 'sysadmin';

Thanks for your suggestions.

Config File Check:

- I dont have <JIRA_HOME>/jira-config.properties

- <JIRA_INSTALL>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/seraph-config.xml seems to be normal.

Reindex: How can we reindex without authentication?

Verify sysadmin Account: Yes, I have sysadmin account which is active
