Upgrading from JIRA 5.0.x to 5.0.2

Please follow the instructions in the general upgrading JIRA documentation.

Please also read the Important Version-Specific Upgrade Notes for any JIRA 5.0.x versions you are skipping.

New parameter (login.forward.path) in the seraph-config.xml file

As part of the fix for JRA-22667, a new parameter has been introduced into JIRA's seraph-config.xml.

Customers who have customised the seraph-config.xml file in their JIRA installation should insert this new parameter (login.forward.path) as indicated below:

seraph-config.xml
<security-config>
    <parameters>
        ...
 
        <!--
          The path to *forward* to when the user tries to POST to a protected resource (rather than clicking on
          an explicit login link). Note that this is done using a servlet FORWARD, not a redirect. Information
          about the original request can be gotten from the javax.servlet.forward.* request attributes.
          At this point you will probably want to save the user's POST params so he can log in again and retry
          the POST.
          Defaults to undefined, in which case Seraph will just do a redirect instead of a FORWARD.
        -->
        <init-param>
            <param-name>login.forward.path</param-name>
            <param-value>/secure/XsrfErrorAction.jspa</param-value>
        </init-param>
 
        ...
    <parameters>
</security-config>

(info) Please Note:

  • If you are adding the new login.forward.path parameter to an existing seraph-config.xml file, the order of its containing <init-param/> element relative to the other <init-param/> elements in the file is not important, as long as the containing <init-param/> is a child of the <parameters/> elements in this file.
  • Since the seraph-config.xml file is located within your JIRA Installation Directory, avoid copying the seraph-config.xml file from your original JIRA installation and overwriting the one in your upgraded JIRA 5.0.2 (or later) installation. Other changes in this file may have been made in any intervening versions of JIRA between your original JIRA version (from which you are upgrading) and JIRA 5.0.2, such that overwriting the file in your upgraded JIRA 5.0.2 installation may have unpredictable consequences.

Upgrading from JIRA 4.4.x and earlier

In addition to the above, please read the JIRA 5.0 Upgrade Notes and as well as the Important Version-Specific Upgrade Notes for the versions of JIRA you are skipping.
