JIRA Some gadgets broken after upgrade to 7.1.1

March 8, 2016

I have just upgraded our sandbox install from JIRA 6.3.15 to JIRA 7.1.1, and am experiencing problem very similar to this issue: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/24649645

I have pinpointed the issue to SSL, the issue appears and disappears when switching between the two security modes for JIRA 7.1.1 outlined below:

  • Tested JIRA 6.3.15 using HTTP only - Gadgets function correctly
  • Tested JIRA 6.3.15 using HTTP and HTTPS (redirect HTTP to HTTPs), set port to 8090 and using our own keystore - Gadgets function correctly
  • Tested JIRA 7.1.1 using HTTP only - Gadgets function correctly
  • Tested JIRA 7.1.1 using HTTP and HTTPS (redirect HTTP to HTTPs), set port to 8090 and using our own keystore - Gadgets are broken

 

All installed add-ons are up to date.

 

Here's what I'm seeing:

Some gadgets have the correct titles, other don't.

Here's the list of "broken" gadgets:

  • __MSG_gadget.activity.stream.title__

  • __MSG_gadget.filter.results.title__

  • __MSG_gadget.watched.title__

My focus was on the Activity Stream gadget:

  • My existing Activity Stream gadget displays most information, the status information at the bottom of each entry (xx minutes age, Comment, Watch) is missing.
  • Trying to add it to my dashboard leaves it hanging on the loading bar.

  • I can select some options while it is in this state, and choosing configure or reload opens a very broken window:Gadget3.jpg

 

Looking at the Catalina logs

  • On startup of JIRA:

I solved my problem by adding the following to /opt/atlassian/jira/bin/catalina.sh

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=$CATALINA_HOME/certificates/truststore.ks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=truststorePassword -server"

I would say the setenv.sh file as that is the enviroment variable scrip apparently. Thanks for this. It gives some sort of clarity. This seems  like a major problem if it was such a pervasive issue.

I looked into this a little further and found that the solution I used (regardless of where you change the Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore breaks connectivity to the Atlassian Marketplace.

There's two ways around this:

1) Don't change the Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore location at all.  Instead import your SSL certs into Jira's default cacerts keystore.

2) Change the Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore to point at your custom keystore, and import Atlassian's certs into your custom keystore (either download them or export from cacerts)
