Diagnosis

Environment

  • Reported on JIRA 7.0.10

Diagnostic Steps

  • Issue seems to happen after linking JIRA with another application using the application link 
  • The error only appears on the User Profile's dasboard but not the System Dashboard 
  • The error does not appear when the application is removed

Cause

Resolution

  • Recreate the application links and ensure the following on both JIRA and the other application :

    1. Only OAuth is used for incoming and outgoing authentication.
    2. Ensure that Trusted and Basic is disabled
    3. Ensure that 2-legged Oauth is enabled for incoming and outgoing authentication
