required security token

[Patrick J Bonk]

When adding a new page a user is getting this message and I wonder if we dont have a time-out somewhere not set correctly??

"Your request could not be processed because a required security token was not present in the request. You may need to re-submit the form or reload the page."

Hi Patrick,

Can you start by asking that user to either flush their browser caches or try with a different browser because most likely this will be browser related. However, I also found this bug report related to the Confluence Linking plugin that appears to have exactly the same symptoms you are describing but I would expect this would affect all users: https://greenhouse.customware.net/jira/browse/LINK-214

If neither of these solutions resolve your issue then please open a ticket with Support, remembering to include a copy of your logs, and we will investigate this issue to see if we can find more pointers to what might be causing this behaviour.

All the best,
John

We have the same problem only over VPN. I did increase the timeout with no positive impact.

I guess if you try increasing the timeout value to 180, then restart the instance may work.
