Introduction

Paddle is a tool that will test the LDAP or Active Directory settings in your atlassian-user.xml.

Quote from a customer:

Really, REALLY glad you had the paddle tool so I didn't spend too much time beating my head on that one, BTW

Instructions for use

You will not need to have Confluence running to run this tool. The steps are:

  1. Download into a directory where you have permissions to create files
  2. Copy your atlassian-user.xml into that directory - this is found in your <Confluence-Install>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/ directory
  3. Run java -jar paddle-x.x.jar (where x.x is the version of Paddle you downloaded).
