Bamboo fails with error 'avax.jms.JMSException: Could not create Transport' after turning on SSO
Asked by HN:

I notice the following errors crashing Bamboo after enabling SSO:

```

Enabling SSO is done via commenting out:

```
<!-- <authenticator class="com.atlassian.bamboo.user.authentication.BambooAuthenticator"/> -->
```

And enabling:

```
<authenticator class="com.atlassian.crowd.integration.seraph.v25.BambooAuthenticator"/>
```

This is done in the*atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/seraph-config.xml* fle. The complete file is [here](https://paste.ee/p/PtUmw).

Bamboo version in use 6.2.2.

If I remove SSO and reinstall I don't see the errors. Any hints on what might be causing this?

body: Hey Haani,

Unfortunately the errors included here don't point towards any root cause. They're somewhat error noise that occurs when a Bamboo shutdown has been triggered due to another failure.

Your *seraph-config.xml* looks complete, there's no issues with it and my instance starts up fine with it.

Are there any other errors (*ERROR, FATAL, SEVERE*) further up the application log that might suggest why Bamboo can't continue to start-up when SSO is enabled?

It might be best to see if you can raise a support ticket via <https://support.atlassian.com/contact/> and include an archive of your logs for our review. If you can't, let us know and we'll see what we can do to facilitate that.

Cheers,

Jeremy

body: Hmm. It honestly looks like something external is sending a shutdown signal to Bamboo (or the entire server is shutting down / rebooting). The server does come up and there are a few requests that do get served.

Curiously, is the server part of an Auto Scaling Group? Maybe the health check logic is failing with SSO enabled and replacing the instance.

If this isn't the case, please raise a ticket with us at <https://support.atlassian.com/contact/> and we can dig deeper.

Cheers,
