Summary

If JIRA Data Center is integrated with SSO using SAML as secondary authentication, the login gadget will be missing when JIRA is restarted.

Steps to reproduce

1. Integrate JIRA Data Center with SSO using SAML as secondary authentication
2. Restart JIRA

Expected behavior

Login gadget is available

Actual behavior

Login gadget is missing:

Notes

• jira.disable.login.gadget is not set to true in JIRA_Home/jira-config.properties (or jpm.xml)
• When JIRA is restarted, this parameter however is set to true automatically, which can be seen from System Info

Workaround

If possible, use SAML as primary authentication.

• Alternatively, use the login page instead: <JIRA_BaseURL>/login.jsp (click Log In on the rightmost of the top navigation bar)

 If the gadget must be displayed, toggle SAML configuration:

1. Go to SAML settings and disable SAML (use Login form only)
2. Log out of JIRA and go to <Base_URL>/secure/Dashboard.jspa, ensuring that the login gadget now appears
3. Log in JIRA and configure SAML again, setting it to Secondary
4. Log out of JIRA and go to <Base_URL>/secure/Dashboard.jspa, confirming that the login gadget still appears
    The gadget will be missing again when JIRA is restarted, though.
