Hi all, has anyone with automated/synthetic tests noticed a recent security change in Confluence login and space access.
We’ve had synthetic tests (e.g. simulated user) running against Confluence for our app regression/stability tests for 3+ years. However, starting approx 8 weeks ago we started getting a very high failure rate ( 70% ) where Confluence reports “You don’t have access to this space”
Our synth tests all work the same way:
- Navigate to a target confluence page by full URL ( /wiki/spaces/KEY/pages/1234… )
- Get redirected to login and enter credentials
- post login confluence redirects back to the original target page
- … continue with test by interacting with page
As above step 3 redirect happens but now 70% of the time the user gets this space inaccessible error message.
Seen on multiple test sites. Does not happen interactively in browser with the same target space and page with the same user credentials.
Anyone else notice a change or higher frequency of test failures? For us what is puzzling is that it still works some of the time. Appreciate thoughts or ideas
Regards,
Chris
