#### Troubleshooting your DVCS connection
Refer to the items in this section if you're having problems with your DVCS connector.
##### Jira cannot access GitLab server
```plaintext
Error obtaining access token. Cannot access https://gitlab.example.com from Jira.
```
This error message is generated in Jira, after completing the **Add New Account**
form and authorizing access. It indicates a connectivity issue from Jira to
GitLab. No other error messages appear in any logs.
If there was an issue with SSL/TLS, this error message will be generated.
- The [GitLab Jira integration](jira.md) requires GitLab to connect to Jira. Any
TLS issues that arise from a private certificate authority or self-signed
certificate [are resolved on the GitLab server](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/ssl.html#other-certificate-authorities),
as GitLab is the TLS client.
- The Jira Development Panel integration requires Jira to connect to GitLab, which
causes Jira to be the TLS client. If your GitLab server's certificate is not
issued by a public certificate authority, the Java truststore on Jira's server
needs to have the appropriate certificate added to it (such as your organization's
root certificate).
Refer to Atlassian's documentation and Atlassian Support for assistance setting up Jira correctly:
- [Adding a certificate to the trust store](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/how-to-import-a-public-ssl-certificate-into-a-jvm-867025849.html).
- Simplest approach is to use [keytool](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/keytool.html).
- Add additional roots to Java's default truststore (`cacerts`) to allow Jira to
also trust public certificate authorities.
- If the integration stops working after upgrading Jira's Java runtime, this
might be because the `cacerts` truststore got replaced.
- [Troubleshooting connectivity up to and including TLS handshaking](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/unable-to-connect-to-ssl-services-due-to-pkix-path-building-failed-error-779355358.html),
using the a java class called `SSLPoke`.
- Download the class from Atlassian's knowledgebase to Jira's server, for example to `/tmp`.
- Use the same Java runtime as Jira.
- Pass all networking-related parameters that Jira is called with, such as proxy
settings or an alternative root truststore (`-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore`):
```shell
${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/var/atlassian/application-data/jira/cacerts -classpath /tmp SSLPoke gitlab.example.com 443
```
The message `Successfully connected` indicates a successful TLS handshake.
If there are problems, the Java TLS library generates errors that you can
look up for more detail.
##### Jira error adding account and no repositories listed
```plaintext
Error!
Failed adding the account: [Error retrieving list of repositories]
```
This error message is generated in Jira after completing the **Add New Account**
form in Jira and authorizing access. Attempting to click **Try Again** returns
`Account is already integrated with JIRA.` The account is set up in the DVCS
accounts view, but no repositories are listed.
Potential resolutions:
- If you're using GitLab versions 11.10-12.7, upgrade to GitLab 12.8.10 or later
to resolve an identified [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/37012).
- The Jira Development Panel integration requires GitLab Premium, GitLab.com Silver,
or a higher tier. If you're using a lower tier of GitLab, you'll need to upgrade
to use this feature.
[Contact GitLab Support](https://about.gitlab.com/support) if none of these reasons apply.
#### Fixing synchonization issues
If Jira displays incorrect information (such as deleted branches), you may need to
resynchronize the information. To do so:
1. In Jira, go to **Jira Administration > Applications > DVCS accounts**.
1. At the account (group or subgroup) level, Jira displays an option to
**Refresh repositories** in the `...` (ellipsis) menu.
1. For each project, there's a sync button displayed next to the **last activity** date.
To perform a *soft resync*, click the button, or complete a *full sync* by shift clicking
the button. For more information, see
[Atlassian's documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/synchronize-an-account-972332890.html).
