Cause
By default, Bamboo allows up to 100 personal tokens per user. However, the bamboo.access.token.user.max property can be set to define a maximum value of tokens per user, or to disable the functionality if set to 0.
Solution
The solution consists to increase the maximum value, or remove the property from Bamboo. The steps for this are described in the following article:
- Configuring your system properties
The value can be increased/changed. For example,
-Dbamboo.access.token.user.max=300- If the property is removed from the list of Bamboo system properties, the default maximum value will be 100 tokens.
