Problem

It takes too long time to login to JIRA which is hosted on AWS in case source IPs which can access the port which JIRA is running on (default: 8080) are restricted with Security Group.

Diagnosis

Confirm if there is the public IP of the EC2 instance itself in the whitelist of the inbound access.

(We tend to forget to configure a rule about the public IP.)

You might also find the following timeout in atlassian-jira.log:

Cause

Access to the port from the public IP of the EC2 instance itself is not allowed and it caused the timeout.

Solution

Resolution

Allow the public IP to access the port which JIRA is running on.
