User Profiles for Confluence (Microsoft Attributes Sync)

State of profile macro not displayed correctly

🤔 Problem

After enabling/disabling the User Profiles for the Confluence profile macro (see the Administrator Guide) and changing to a different Data Center node, it appears the configuration has not been updated on this node.

🧐 Cause

Despite the state shown in the configuration, it changes (as can be seen in the People Directory: the profile macros are the same for each node).

This behavior is caused by Confluence, which does not correctly synchronize the plugin module state between Data Center nodes: the same behavior can be observed when plugin modules are enabled or disabled on a Data Center node; their state appears unchanged when checked on other nodes (though it actually is changed).
