JIRA is not being accessed from its Base URL, or the Base URL is not set correctly, leading to a problem with the untrusted URL.
A typical scenario is:
JIRA is behind a reverse proxy with these parameters added to
server.xml:proxyName="jira.company.com" proxyPort="443" scheme="https"This means JIRA's Base URL should be set to https://jira.company.com, and JIRA admin is supposed to access JIRA via that URL to update the license
- JIRA's Base URL is however set to a different URL e.g. http://jira.local.com or even using a wrong URL format e.g. just
jira.local.com - JIRA admin accesses the wrong Base URL to update the license, leading to the error
Resolution
As JIRA admin:
- Make sure JIRA's Base URL is set correctly
- Make sure to access JIRA via its correct Base URL to update the license
