This page is part of the installation guide for the Confluence SharePoint Connector. It tells you how to configure access to Confluence using Integrated Windows Authentication via Jespa. These instructions apply to the connector for SharePoint 2007.

On this page:

概要

In this configuration both SharePoint and client browsers are authenticated against Confluence using Windows authentication provided by Jespa, a third-party implementation written in Java.

Use this Configuration when...
  • Your users are logged in to a Windows domain and access Confluence using a web browser that supports automatic pass through of Windows credentials. (See the recommended browser settings.)
  • You want your users to experience a seamless single sign-on experience when accessing Confluence.
  • Your Confluence installation is not running on a Windows server and you do not want to provision a new Windows server to provide an IIS proxy for Confluence (see Integrated Windows Authentication via IIS).

If you have not already seen our guide to planning your environment, you can refer to it for information that will help you select the best configuration for your environment.

注意事項

サポート対象プラットフォーム

Due to the complex nature of this configuration and its reliance on third-party products, Atlassian is only able to offer support if your configuration matches these specifications:

  • Confluence is installed as a stand-alone Tomcat application server.
  • Confluence is configured to use LDAP integration to Active Directory for user management.

Anonymous Access

Anonymous access is not supported

You will not be able to get anonymous access for Confluence working when using this configuration.

When configuring Confluence with Jespa (as described in our guide) you will not be able to set up a satisfactory anonymous access mechanism, due to the requirements of the custom authenticator and the Confluence Base URL.

Atlassian is currently reviewing the suitability of using the third-party NTLM Authenticator for Confluence instead.

Additional Dependencies

Please consider the following additional dependencies:

  1. The configuration requires a custom Seraph authenticator for Confluence. If you are already using a custom Seraph authenticator, you may not be able to use this configuration.
  2. The configuration requires a third-party library that implements the Windows authentication protocols. See the section on Jespa below for details of this dependency.
