Solution: Whitelist Authentication

Whitelisting Authentication include 3 steps:

  • Shutdown Jira

Step 1. Shutdown Jira

Make sure Jira is shut down.

web.xml file exists in the following location (note, JIRA_INSTALL by default is set to the /opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/ directory): JIRA_INSTALL/WEB-INF/

Modify the web.xml file, add the following strings to the filter org.jasig.cas.client.authentication.AuthenticationFilter:
