Access Confluence using Integrated Windows Authentication via IIS with SP 2013 (v 1.9)

Aug 25, 2016

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 IIS with SharePoint 2013.

On this page:

Overview

In this configuration, both SharePoint and client browsers are authenticated against Confluence using Windows authentication provided by a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) server. IIS proxies the pre-authenticated requests through to Confluence and then returns the content to the requester. Confluence and IIS communicate using Apache JServ Protocol (AJP).

Use this Configuration when...

  • You want to enable 'pass-through authentication' for your users logged in to a Windows domain.

  • All users who access Confluence are members of an Active Directory domain.

  • Confluence is running on Windows Server, or you are able to set up Windows Server to act as a proxy for Confluence.

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 .
