Cause
After moving Confluence from Atlassian Cloud to a Atlassian Server environment, there is a corruption to the OAuth tokens being used in the database.
Resolution
Always back up your data before making any database modifications. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
Backup the Confluence database.
Delete the existing application link.
Shutdown Confluence.
Run the following query on the Confluence database:
1DELETE FROM BANDANA WHERE BANDANAKEY LIKE '%oauth%';Start Confluence.
Recreate the application link.
Verify that the application link is working properly for users.
