診断

  Header always set X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
  Header always set X-Content-Type-Options nosniff

原因

症状 1

According to investigations and mentioned errors, the root cause is the Jira is running on SSL while the Confluence running without SSL which is partially clear from the error we have received from the console.

It appears that the X-Frame-Options is not allowing the content to load to the Knowledge Base Pop-up/iFrame.

回避策

• Create Application Link as Explained here at Integrating Jira Service Management With Confluence.

症状 2
