Fixing SharePoint

Hello! While wrestling with Confluence and SharePoint i got following error in my ULS logs. I Google it and found that the machine key is not same across all of my servers in the farm. I move ahead and checked it manually and found the machine key is identical across all the servers. After contacting Atlassian support i found that i need to remove some configuration from my database. They provided a workaround and it worked like a magic for me. Error: Unable to decrypt persisted value (SPCONTEXT: Current User: XXXXXXXX\XXXXXXXX, Current Web Application: SharePoint - XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXX.com80, Current URL: http://XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXX.com/_layouts/Atlassian/ConfluenceSettings.aspx, User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET4.0C; InfoPath.3; .NET4.0E; MS-RTC EA 2)): System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --
