This section provides guidelines on planning the infrastructure and configuration necessary to support your installation of the Confluence SharePoint Connector.
These instructions apply if you are using the connector with SharePoint 2010. If you have SharePoint 2007 WSS or MOSS, please refer to the planning guide for SharePoint 2007.

Please ensure you read through and comply with the following requirements before installing the SharePoint Connector.
The Confluence SharePoint Connector supports the same Windows operating system requirements as those specified by Microsoft for SharePoint.
You need Confluence 2.10.0 or later. You can download Confluence from the Confluence download centre.
.NET Framework required on Windows
Note that if you are running Confluence on a Windows Server, you should ensure that the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is installed. Microsoft .NET is required for Confluence in certain configurations (see the guide on Configuring Access to SharePoint with SP 2010 for more information).
You can download the .NET Framework 2.0 here (for the 32-bit version) or here (for the 64-bit version).
These instructions apply if you are using the connector with SharePoint 2010. If you have SharePoint 2007 WSS or MOSS, please refer to the planning guide for SharePoint 2007.
Versions 1.2 and later of the SharePoint Connector support Microsoft SharePoint 2010. This includes SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010. For a quick guide to the different SharePoint versions available, see our comparison of SharePoint versions and editions. Some features of the SharePoint Connector are only available when using SharePoint Server 2010, as described below.

We recommend separate server machines for Confluence and SharePoint
Due to the substantial memory and CPU requirements of SharePoint, we recommend that you run Confluence and SharePoint on separate machines. For evaluation purposes, it is OK to run them both on the same machine.
Next, please decide which of the supported configurations is best suited to your environment. There are two areas to consider when setting up the SharePoint Connector and deciding which authentication methods to use:
These configurations control the authentication method used by the Confluence server and client browsers when requesting content from the SharePoint server.
These configurations control the authentication method used by the SharePoint server and client browsers when requesting content from the Confluence server.
Atlassian support does not cover the configurations listed below. Not supported: Crowd is Atlassian's single sign-on (SSO) and user management solution. For the initial release of the SharePoint Connector, we made a decision to delay full support for Crowd in favour of Microsoft's Single Sign-On Service (Microsoft SSOSrv). At the time, we felt that Microsoft SSOSrv's tight integration with SharePoint was a more compelling feature for SharePoint customers. As the SharePoint Connector matures, we are now looking at expanding our support to reach a broader customer base. We hope to support Crowd for SSO in the future. If you are interested in this feature, we encourage you to vote for the feature request in our JIRA issue tracker: CSI-588. Microsoft SSO and Secure Store Service are supported: We have tested the connector with the following single sign-on solutions from Microsoft: Not supported: We have not tested any other single sign-on products. If you are interested in support for other SSO solutions, we encourage you to vote for the relevant request if it already exists in our JIRA issue tracker or create a new request. When voting or adding a request, please describe your environment. Not supported: The SharePoint Connector cannot connect to SharePoint sites that use an ASP.NET Forms authentication provider. We may add support for this configuration in the future. If you are interested in this feature, we encourage you to vote for the feature request in our JIRA issue tracker: CSI-590.Atlassian Crowd
