After Jira restart, all users are logged out - even those with "remember my login" cookies

When our admins restart Jira or Confluence, all users are logged out - even when they selected "remember my login" when logging in before.

The Jira cookie page says nothing about this.

Why is that?

What can we do to stay logged in, even after server/daemon restart?

There is nothing you can do about this.

You probably don't want to either; a service that does not discard sessions when it restarts is not secure.

No, that is wrong. The user does not care whether an admin has restarted the server overnight. The user experience must not be hurt by this event. It has nothing to do with "service security".

I'm afraid it is. It is a security hole to continue sessions. You are right that the user experience is absolutely critical - "not being hacked" overrides "slightly more convenient" every time.

OK can you explain how exactly is it a security hole?
What happens during the service restart that compromises the system security?

Ran into exactly the same problem. Were you able to solve this?
