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, with SharePoint 2010.

On this page:

Overview

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.

Next Step

To continue with the installation of the SharePoint Connector, please install and configure the SharePoint feature.
