  • An SSO filter may also be found in the stacktrace:

1 com.resolution.atlasplugins.samlsso.servlet.RedirectToSsoFilter.doFilter

Cause

The root cause is not yet determined but may be related to the SAML Single Sign On (Jira SSO) Jira SAML SSO app or broken application links.

Solution

  1. Attempt to disable the SSO and check if the gadget can be added.

  2. Upgrading Jira to a later version (e.g. 8.13.x) has resolved the issue in some situations.
