This page describes how to add a new application link in Confluence. The process for adding an application link is different depending on whether the application that you are linking Confluence to, supports Application Links (i.e. has Application Links installed) or not. If you are linking Confluence to an application that does not have Application Links, you will need to do additional configuration in that application. This is because Application Links in Confluence will not be able to automatically configure authentication in your remote application. Please read the appropriate set of instructions below: Linking to an application that supports Application Links. Linking to an application that does not support Application Links. On this page:
