Symptoms

JIRA is integrated with Crowd for user management and pages that needs to compile the batch.js take a long time to load. This can be observed with Firebug at the tab Net or one other monitoring system.

Cause

When integrating an application with Crowd, you will copy Crowd's client library and the crowd.properties configuration file into the application's library and the default configuration of the "session.validationinterval" property inside the crowd.properties file is 0, which means that each HTTP request will need to be authenticated with the Crowd server.

Resolution

Adjusting the "session.validationinterval" property to a value higher than "0" into the crowd.properties file, as described in this documentation.
