Error creating project xsrf check failed

I’m trying to get a copy of Jira running on a ubuntu server box I have on AWS. I configured Tomcat, and can successfully access my site at http://example.com:8080/jira and begin the setup process. I am able to create a username, but when instructed to make a first project, I receive the following error upon attempting to save:

Creating Project Throws ‘Error creating project, XSRF check failed’

It is the same error that is documented here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/creating-project-throws-error-creating-project-xsrf-check-failed-397083076.html

By Atlassian themselves, as well as here:

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/283780/looking-for-the-full-list-of-http-headers

By some forum users. Both cases suggest that the headers are being blocked, and the second link does a good job of listing out every header:

X-AREQUESTID
X-ASESSIONID
X-AUSERNAME
X-SITEMESH-OFF
X-Atlassian-Token
X-Requested-With

Do not forget to allow GET (of course), POST (of course) but also PUT http methods

The problem I’m facing is that I haven’t been able to find out how my ubuntu server is blocking those headers. I’m running nginx, and will happily post my config if that helps. Otherwise all config was done in tomcat.

I got a tip somewhere that UFW may be blocking them, but that doesn’t seem to be running. Does anyone know how I would go about unblocking these headers to resolve my Jira error?

X-AREQUESTID
X-ASESSIONID
X-AUSERNAME
X-SITEMESH-OFF
X-Atlassian-Token
X-Requested-With

Do not forget to allow GET (of course), POST (of course) but also PUT http methods

Hi! I am a complete beginner to JIRA. I am trying to create a simple issue using ajax, Here is my ajax call

$.ajax({
                type:"POST",
                url:"https://jira.company.com/rest/api/2/issue",
                dataType:"json",
                headers:{
                    'Content-Type':'application/json',
                    'X-Atlassian-Token':'nocheck'
                },
                username: 'username',
                password: 'password',
                data:{
                    "fields":{
                        "project":{
                            "key":"AUTO"
                        },
                        "summary":"Trial for JIRA integration",
                        "description":"JIRA integration trial",
                        "issuetype":{
                            "name":"Bug"
                        }
                    }
                },
                success: function () {
                    console.log("issue logged");
                },
                error: function () {
                     alert("failed");
                }
            })

I am getting the following error: XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://jira.company.com/rest/api/2/issue. Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 403

Under networking tab I can see the issue as XSRF check failed.

Can you guys please tell me what I am doing wrong?
