This page tells you how to configure the Confluence settings for SharePoint. These instructions apply to the connector for SharePoint 2007.
On this page:
Configuring the Confluence Administrative Settings for a SharePoint Site
- Open your web browser and use one of the following methods to open the Confluence settings page of the appropriate SharePoint site collection:
- Navigate to the top level site within the site collection, select 'Site Actions' (at the top right) -> 'Site Settings' -> 'Modify All Site Settings'. On the 'Site Settings' page, choose 'Confluence Settings'.
The 'Confluence Settings' page is available only if the Confluence SharePoint web part was deployed to that SharePoint site.

- Or use the final step of the web part installer wizard which provides direct links to these pages. For more information, please refer to the instructions on installing the SharePoint feature.

- Enter the base URL of the Confluence site in the 'Confluence Site' field.
- Under 'Authentication Selection', choose the method by which SharePoint will access the Confluence site. See our planning guide for help with the authentication options.
- If you choose 'Access Confluence with a single master account':
- If you choose 'Access Confluence with the Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) Service':
- If your Confluence site is especially large, and your users report problems while waiting for the Confluence web parts to load, you can optionally choose to increase the timeout value for retrieving content from Confluence. The default is 100 seconds, but you can increase this to a longer timeout if desired. To do this, enter a new numerical value in the 'Web Service Timeout' field.
- Click the 'Test Confluence Configuration' button to test your configuration settings.
- Click 'OK' to save your changes.
 | Settings are inherited by child SharePoint sites The Confluence settings are automatically inherited by any SharePoint sub-sites. If no Confluence settings have been configured for a SharePoint sub-site, the parent SharePoint site's Confluence settings apply. However, any Confluence settings configured for a sub-site will override the parent site's Confluence settings. |
