Symptoms

Fail to add Application Link to JIRA Cloud.

The following appears in the atlassian-fisheye-<date>.log:

1 2 2013-01-30 09:34:54,250 ERROR - Failed to setup JIRA integration: java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.bouncycastle.asn1.DERInteger cannot be cast to org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Sequence com.atlassian.fisheye.jira.setup.JiraSetupException: Failed to setup JIRA integration: java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.bouncycastle.asn1.DERInteger cannot be cast to org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Sequence

Cause

JIRA Cloud will only connect to applications through the port 80 or 443.

Resolution

  1. Setup Fisheye to use port 80 or 443 according to this guide and restart Fisheye.

  2. If Fisheye is connected to a proxy server, make sure that the proxy server and Fisheye server settings are correct.
