Documentation for Confluence 2.5.4 - 2.5.8.
Documentation for [Confluence Cloud] and the latest Confluence Server is available too. 
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
You will not need to have Confluence running to run this tool. The steps are:
atlassian-user.xml into that directory - this is found in your <Confluence-Install>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/ directoryjava -jar paddle-x.x.jar (where x.x is the version of Paddle you downloaded).Paddle currently supports the following parameters:
Name |
Example |
Purpose |
|---|---|---|
debug |
|
Prints DEBUG messages to the console as well as paddle.log. |
limit |
|
Sets the limit on the number of results returned by user and group queries. Defaults to 10. |
This is an example of a successful run:
