Login with Jira user accounts

[Joost Molenaar]

I'd like to configure Confluence to use Jira's user accounts. Jira and Confluence are both on the same Tomcat instance and they're running on an internal network.

In Confluence, I added Jira as a trusted application with incoming and outgoing authentication. In Jira, I did the same. I filled in IP addresses and URL patters according to this chapter[1] in the Application Links manual.

Still, I can't log in to Confluence using my Jira account name.

Is this even possible? Where can I find out what's wrong?

Not sure if you're reading the right thing... you need to set jira up as a user server. Information here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Connecting+to+Crowd+or+JIRA+for+User+Management

Jamie is absolutely right, you're looking in the wrong place. You don't need trusted apps at all, when using Jira users as Confluence users, follow the link he's given.
