Using Confluence and Sharepoint with Active Directory and NTLM

Using Confluence and Sharepoint with Active Directory and NTLM

If you can ensure that all of your clients will be using Windows-based authentication (NTLM), then you can configure authentication without depending on additional products/services. This is typically the case if all clients are on the Windows platform and using Internet Explorer. With the proper browser settings (see Recommended Browser Settings) the client browser will automatically authenticate to both Confluence and SharePoint without prompting the user for credentials.

• SharePoint should already be using an Active Directory domain for its users.
• Please refer to the following Atlassian links to configure Active Directory (LDAP) with Confluence.
• Please review the following two options for configuring Conflence to use Windows-based authentication (NTLM)
  1. Configure Confluence to Use a Custom Authenticator and Tomcat + IIS
  2. Configure Confluence to Use a Custom Authenticator and JCIFS
