    Description

      Summary

      When a session timeout has been configured and SSO via SAML has been configured, the sessions do not timeout gracefully. End-users are presented with a 403 response when trying to access Atlassian Cloud content. The expectation is that end-users would be presented with a login page that would allow them to be able to log back in and continue working.

      Environment

      • SSO via SAML configured
      • Session timeout configured

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Log in to Atlassian services using SSO via SAML
      2. Wait for the session to timeout

      Expected Results

      • The session times out gracefully and users are redirected to Atlassian account the login page(or the IdP login page)

      Actual Results

      • After the session times out, the users are not redirected to the login page when accessing Cloud URLs
      • Sometimes, end-users are getting an 'HTTP Status 403 - Forbidden' error

      Notes

      • At this point, it's unconfirmed whether or not end-users should be redirected to the requested page, but should be possible
      • Testing had shown that if SSO via SAML is not configured, then users are redirected to the Atlassian account login page as expected

      Workaround

      Option 1 : Clear browser site data for Atlassian services - e.g. for Chrome: chrome://settings/siteData, filter and clear the site data for Atlassian sites
      Option 2 : Login via https://start.atlassian.com/ and then access the Confluence site.
