Overview
In this configuration, SharePoint and all client browsers are authenticated using Confluence's built-in authentication module, which is a style of Forms-based Authentication. The Microsoft Secure Store Service acts as a 'man-in-the-middle', performing mappings between Confluence and SharePoint user accounts.
...
- You have no specific authentication requirements for your environment. You do not need your users to have pass-through authentication to Confluence via their desktop logins.
- The usernames and passwords in your Confluence user repository do not exactly match the usernames and passwords in your SharePoint user repository (such as Active Directory).
- You are not able to configure Confluence to synchronize its user repository with Active Directory (see Confluence LDAP user management).
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.

To continue with the installation of the SharePoint Connector, please install and configure the SharePoint feature. When configuring the SharePoint web part make sure that you select 'Access Confluence with the Secure Store Service' as your authentication method.
