Unable to Start Upgraded Confluence After Adding Jespa NTLM Authenticator Files
Symptoms
After upgrading Confluence, adding Jespa NTLM Authenticator .jar files (jcifs-x.x.xx.jar and jespa-x.x.xx.jar) to the Confluence installation directory prevents Confluence from starting.
The following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log:
