Symptoms

Domain Users memberships are not being recognised by Confluence.

Diagnosis

This is a expected behaviour related to this Improvement Request: CONF-6729 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Workaround

Usually the reason customers want the Domain Users membership to be used is to grant access to Confluence to all users from Active Directory.

This being said, so users can access Confluence, they need to be inside the confluence-users group.

When creating a new User Directory, there's an option that allows you to automatically insert users in confluence-users group.

When using Connector Authentication you need to choose Read Only with Local Groups so a field will appear:
Default Group Memberships: confluence-users

This will basically make the AD users, members of the confluence-users group and so, everyone will be able to access Confluence.

PS: If you want to avoid all users to have access to Confluence, you may create an LDAP Filter
