Confluence SharePoint Connector 1.3 : Planning your Environment with SP 2007
This page last changed on Jun 09, 2010 by jclark@atlassian.com.
This section provides guidelines on planning the infrastructure and configuration necessary to support your installation of the Confluence SharePoint Connector. These instructions apply if you are using the connector with SharePoint 2007. If you have SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010, please refer to the planning guide for SharePoint 2010. On this page: Prerequisites and Supported PlatformsPlease ensure you read through and comply with the following requirements before installing the SharePoint Connector. WindowsThe Confluence SharePoint Connector supports the same Windows operating system requirements as those specified by Microsoft for SharePoint. ConfluenceThe latest version of the SharePoint Connector supports Confluence 2.10.0 and later. You can download Confluence from the Confluence download centre.
SharePoint
All released versions of the SharePoint Connector support the 2007 Microsoft Office Server System. This includes Windows SharePoint Services ('WSS') 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server ('MOSS') 2007. For a quick guide to the different SharePoint versions available, see our comparison of SharePoint versions and editions. Some features of the SharePoint Connector are only available when using MOSS, as described below.
Checking whether you have WSS or MOSSTo determine whether you have WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 installed, go to Windows Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

Supported ConfigurationsNext, please decide which of the supported configurations is best suited to your environment. There are two areas to consider when setting up the SharePoint Connector and deciding which authentication methods to use:
Configuring Access to SharePointThese configurations control the authentication method used by the Confluence server and client browsers when requesting content from the SharePoint server.
Selecting your Configuration for Access to SharePointConfiguring Access to ConfluenceThese configurations control the authentication method used by the SharePoint server and client browsers when requesting content from the Confluence server.
Selecting your Configuration for Access to ConfluenceUnsupported ConfigurationsAtlassian support does not cover the configurations listed below. Atlassian Crowd
Crowd is Atlassian's single sign-on (SSO) and user management solution. For the initial release of the SharePoint Connector, we made a decision to delay full support for Crowd in favour of Microsoft's Single Sign-On Service (Microsoft SSOSrv). At the time, we felt that Microsoft SSOSrv's tight integration with SharePoint was a more compelling feature for SharePoint customers. As the SharePoint Connector matures, we are now looking at expanding our support to reach a broader customer base. We hope to support Crowd for SSO in the future. If you are interested in this feature, we encourage you to vote for the feature request in our JIRA issue tracker: CSI-588. SiteMinder and other Single Sign-On Management Solutions
We have tested the connector with the following single sign-on solutions from Microsoft:
We have not tested any other single sign-on products. If you are interested in support for other SSO solutions, we encourage you to vote for the relevant request if it already exists in our JIRA issue tracker or create a new request. When voting or adding a request, please describe your environment.
SharePoint Forms-Based Authentication
The SharePoint Connector cannot connect to SharePoint sites that use an ASP.NET Forms authentication provider. We may add support for this configuration in the future. If you are interested in this feature, we encourage you to vote for the feature request in our JIRA issue tracker: CSI-590. Next StepTo continue with the installation of the SharePoint Connector, please configure the access to SharePoint. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
