Cannot link a jira issue to a confluence page when the page title contains ":"

    Description

      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      It is not possible from a JIRA issue to create a link to a Confluence page if the page contains the ":" char in its title.
      When trying to create the link, JIRA displays the warning message "Unable to create a link to Confluence XXX as the application does not have any authentication configured.", which is absolutely wrong.

      Steps to reproduce:

      • create an issue in JIRA
      • create a page in Confluence with title (for example) "TEST:PAGE"
      • try to create a link from the issue issue to the confluence page using the url of the page
      • error is displayed and no link created

      Removing the ":" from the title makes the link creation possible.

      As this case may happen quite often, this is quite a burden, also because the displayed error has nothing to do with the problem...
