Can I extend confluence security to cover my external javadoc website?

Peter Kahn_66r05y

Hi all,

I want to publish my javadoc but make restrict access to my confluence users only. I know I could use LDAP and then hook apache and confluence into it. However, then I'd need to find a new mechanism to allow users to change their passwords and override confluence's change password links to use the new mechanism.

Is there a way for other applications to subscribe to confluence security? I thought that confluence and or jira could share authentication which each other even without crowd.

Can I get apache to understand confluence access control and use the users/groups in its access control file?

Thanks

Peter

I blogged about a possible solution here:

http://www.confluenza.com/2013/01/04/protect-static-html-pages-using-crowd-and-confluence/

It ties into Confluence's seraph auth scheme and I think works independent of whether you use Crowd or not.

Glad it worked for you. Took me a while to figure out, and now I can't live without it.

Excellent. I can access the files only when logged in only after

store my files in confluence/mycontent/javadoc
add the following to confluence/WEB-INF/classes/seraph-paths.xml

<path name="javadoc">
<url-pattern>/mycontent/javadoc/*</url-pattern>
<role-name>confluence-users</role-name>
</path>

Now, all I need to do is to get the CSS working so javadoc looks as pretty as it should
