SharePoint Feature Configuration (v 1.0)

These steps configure the SharePoint feature through an administration screen.

  1. Open your browser to the SharePoint site collection for which the feature was installed.
  2. Navigate to the top level site within the site collection.
  3. Go into site settings (Site Actions > Site Settings). You may see a sub-menu under Site Settings. If so, choose 'Modify All Site Settings'.
  4. Choose the Confluence Settings link as shown below.

  6. Edit the properties.
    • Confluence Site: the URL to the root of Confluence.
    • Authentication Selection: specify whether a designated Confluence account OR the Microsoft Single SignOn service is used.
    • Test Configuration: test your settings

    These Confluence settings can be applied to sub-sites as well. If there are not any Confluence settings for a site that uses web parts the parent site's Confluence settings will be used (this also applies to a search site for security trimming purposes). Once settings are saved for a site, you cannot revert to inheriting the parent's site's settings.
