Description
NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
Problem Definition
Sometimes cached authentication data in Confluence prevents users from seeing updated changes (such as group memberships). To resolve this, users will need to log out, clear their cookies, and log back in.
Suggested Solution
Create an 'Expire all cookies' task that can be run by users in the scheduled jobs. There is already a task that does this for expired RememberMe tokens.
Workaround
Please follow these steps to expire all cookies in Confluence:
Shutdown Confluence and backup your database before making any of these changes.
- Run the following on your database. This will set the 'created' date for the cookies to 11/01/2015 (in epoch time):
UPDATE remembermetoken SET created = 1446337357;
- Restart Confluence
- Go to -> cache management -> flush all
- Go to -> General configuration -> scheduled jobs -> Clear Expired Remember Me Tokens -> Run
If you've set the rememberMe token expiration higher, you will need to create a new date using epoch time that exceeds that period.
