Default: Anonymous access not enabled in Confluence

In this case you have to be logged into Confluence with the same browser, otherwise the following message will be shown. Once you login with your Confluence credentials you will be able to access content according to the Confluence access rules.

Optional: Anonymous access enabled in Confluence

SharePoint Connector makes it possible to embed also public accessible Confluence pages or blog posts into SharePoint. Therefore you don't have to be logged into Confluence with the same browser.  

Anonymous (public) access to Confluence

  • Precondition: Anonymous access is enabled in your Confluence (instruction: Setting Up Public Access).

  • Be aware that you'll only see public accessible Confluence content when you are not logged into Confluence with the same browser.

If anonymous access is enabled and you are not logged into Confluence an accordant hint will be displayed within the SharePoint web part. You now can see content that is visible within Confluence anonymous access rules:
