Accessing Jira through ssh tunnel to a jump server

[Jay Kantaria]

I am setting up Atlassian tools on EC2.  I have Jira and Confluence configured.

I have Jump server between my local PC and these EC2 where I am running Jira and confluence (Jump/Bastian host).

I have local port http://localhost:18080 forwarding to http://Jira-IP:8080

I have local port http://localhost:18090 forwarding to http://confluence-IP:8090

After i establish the tunnel to jump/bastian host.

1.  I am not able to get to Jira but I am able to get to Confluence just fine.

2. If I ssh/tunnel directly to Jira Ec2 and map similar port I can hit Jira.

We don't have IPV6 on this AWS yet.  AWS expert told me to change the jira to IP4..?

I did that by setting flag in setenv.sh for IPV4 but not able to fix this issue.

After some investigation it turns out that Bastian host was preventing tunneling through port 8080 to Jira EC2.   This was the reason any tools including Confluence worked.  Some network and port sniffing and help from network expert allowed us to get to the root of the issue.

We basically changed the Jira from port 8080 to 8090 and all worked well.

On the confluence box, check you can telnet to  localhost:8090

if that works (confluence is definitely running on the right port), check if you can telnet from the jumpbox to confluence ip on 8090 - if that doesn’t work, check that TCP:8090 is allowed on the security group attached to the confluence server.
