• Type: Bug
• Status: Patch Available
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: ManifoldCF 2.20
• Component/s: JIRA connector

Description

Jira 8 responds with HTTP response Code 404 for unknown users:

λ curl -i --cookie "JSESSIONID=******************" https://myjiraserver/rest/api/2/user?username=unkownUser

HTTP/1.1 404
...
{"errorMessages":["The user named 'unknownUser' does not exist"],"errors":{}

We allow only 200 OK responses to be processed, every other HTTP Response Code is transformed to a ManifoldCFExcepction and therefore loggt at level WARN with a stack trace

An unknown user should not produce so much noise in the log
