Description
When establishing a trusted application link with a JIRA (tested with different 6.1.x versions), when viewing a page which contain links to JIRA issues, clicking on the JIRA links button, the links are displayed but you receive the following warning on the screen:
Unable to retrieve all JIRA metadata. Error retrieving JIRA metadata. Please check the logs for errors
The following stack trace appears in the logs:

No error appears on JIRA logs.
The problem comes from the REST call <CONFLUENCE_URL>/rest/jira-metadata/1.0/metadata?pageId=1736714&_=1389961101786.
The response to that rest call is:
{"count":1,"groups":[{"type":"VERSIONS","items":[],"links":[]},{"type":"SPRINTS","items":[],"links":[]},{"type":"EPICS","items":[],"links":[]},{"type":"ISSUES","items":[{"name":"TPA-1","status":"To Do","description":"Test Issue 1","url":"http://aconde01:5611/browse/TPA-1"}],"links":[]}],"unauthorisedAppLinks":[],"errors":[{"type":"WARNING","errorMessage":"Error retrieving JIRA metadata. Please check the logs for errors"}]}}
This makes me think it is related to authentication, but other information and features which come from that application link work without apparent problems.
Repro Steps:
- Create an application link between JIRA and Confluence. Make sure trusted authentication is enabled.
- Create a new Confluence page and add a link to a JIRA ticket.
- The JIRA Link button will now appear on the top of the created page. Click on it to get the error.
