Hey JAMSHAID,

Instead of clicking datasource try setting confluence with direct JDBC because the default Tomcat libraries may not be optimized for Atlassian applications.

Try using direct JDBC and see if you have problems 
.

Hope it helps.Thanks and Regards,David| The Engineer that like Windows for realsies.

Hey there,

May I ask you what error you are facing when trying to install it? The screenshot attached is just highlighting a warning, which should not block the installation process.

Let us know what's happening so we can try to help you on this matter.

Best regards,

jtds driver is bundled with Confluence. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF54/Database+Setup+for+SQL+Server#DatabaseSetupforSQLServer-Step4.InstallConfluenceandtheSQLServerdatabasedriver
