Access SharePoint using Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM Only) with SP 2016 (v 1.9)

Dec 06, 2016

This page is part of the installation guide for the Confluence SharePoint Connector. It tells you how to configure access to SharePoint using Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM only). These instructions apply to the connector for SharePoint 2016.

On this page:

Overview

In this configuration, both Confluence and client browsers authenticate against SharePoint using Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM only).

Use this Configuration when...

  • Confluence is not running on a Windows server. (If Confluence is running on Windows, you can use full IWA.)

  • There is minimal risk of eavesdropping on the network traffic from Confluence to SharePoint. Examples of scenarios involving minimal risk include:

    • The Confluence and SharePoint applications are on the same physical server. (For production use, we recommend that you run Confluence and SharePoint on separate machines, but you may choose to run them on the same server for evaluation purposes.)

    • The SharePoint site(s) are accessed using HTTP Secure (HTTPS).

    • The Confluence and SharePoint servers are on a private network segment.

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 Confluence plugins .
