This page last changed on Jun 06, 2010 by alui.
7 June 2010 Atlassian is proud to present the Confluence SharePoint Connector 1.2. The two big features of this release are SharePoint 2010 support and the much improved support for Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). With version 1.2 of the Confluence SharePoint Connector, you can now connect Confluence to Microsoft SharePoint 2010 as well as SharePoint 2007. In addition, the connector offers full support for all the IWA protocols, now including NTLMv2 and Kerberos. There are a number of other improvements too. You can now deploy the connector to additional SharePoint site collections at any time. The connector supports multiple AD domains, since it can now distinguish between two identical usernames in different domains. To see the full picture, take a look at the list of improvements below.
The SharePoint Connector now supports SharePoint 2010 as well as SharePoint 2007. The connector offers the same features for both versions of SharePoint:
The SharePoint Connector offers a number of options for configuring authentication between Confluence and SharePoint. Version 1.2 of the connector adds support for NTLMv2 and Kerberos.

At any time after the initial installation, you can now deploy the SharePoint Connector to more site collections. Just run the SharePoint Connector installer (Setup_WebParts.exe) and select 'Deploy to new Site Collection'. See our documentation.
You can configure Confluence to connect to a number of Active Directory domains. With the latest release of the SharePoint Connector, you can configure the connector to pass the domain as well as the username when checking the user's permissions in Confluence. This means that the connector can distinguish between two users who have the same username in different domains. See our documentation for SharePoint 2007 and for SharePoint 2010.
You'll notice that things just work better with the latest version of the SharePoint Connector.
