Description
Summary
There is a known compatibility issue that prevents the user management synchronisation between JIRA 6.4 and Confluence 5.7.x and above.
This will only affect you if you use JIRA to manage your Confluence users. The bug in JIRA is being tracked on JRA-42566.
Environment
- Confluence version: 5.7.x, 5.8.x
- JIRA version: 6.4
Steps to Reproduce
- Case 1
- Set up Confluence 5.7.x and above with JIRA 6.4 configured as its User Management Server. To perform that, please refer to Connecting Confluence to JIRA for user management.
- Perform Synchronisation.
- Case 2
- Install Confluence 5.7.x and above as per the Confluence Setup Guide documentation.
Instead of managing users and groups within Confluence itself, choose Connect to JIRA and setup JIRA External User Management (JIRA 6.4 instance) instead.
- Install Confluence 5.7.x and above as per the Confluence Setup Guide documentation.
Expected Results
Synchronisation should work successfully as per expected.
Actual Results
Synchronisation fails and the below exception is thrown in the atlassian-confluence.log file:
