Confluence 4.0 : Integrating JIRA and Confluence
This page last changed on Mar 06, 2011 by smaddox.
Setting Up Trusted Communication between JIRA and ConfluenceAn administrator can configure JIRA (3.12.0 or later) and Confluence to communicate in a trusted way, so that Confluence can request information from JIRA on behalf of the currently logged-in user. JIRA will not ask the user to log in again or to supply a password. Trusted communication is used when embedding information from one application (for example, a list of JIRA issues) into another application (for example, a Confluence page). Read more about trusted communication. Inserting JIRA issuesYou can insert issues from a JIRA site onto your Confluence page using the 'Insert JIRA Issue' dialogue box. You can also use this dialogue box to create a new issue on the JIRA site. See Inserting JIRA Issues. Combining Confluence Shortcuts and JIRA Quick SearchIn our Confluence site's global configuration ( JIRA: http://jira.atlassian.com/secure/QuickSearch.jspa?searchString= Use the above option to create links using Confluence's shortcut notation.
Viewing Confluence Content in JIRA or JIRA Content in ConfluenceUsing GadgetsYou can embed a Confluence activity stream or a Confluence page in JIRA's dashboard. Likewise, JIRA gadgets can be rendered on a Confluence page. See Adding a Confluence Gadget to a JIRA Dashboard and Gadget Macro for information on how to set up gadgets. Using the JIRA Issues macroFor versions earlier than Confluence 3.1 and JIRA 4.0, use the {jiraissues} and {jiraportlet} macros to embed JIRA reports and portlets into your Confluence site Any JIRA search result can be embedded in a Confluence page using the JIRA Issues macro with your choice of included fields and field ordering, and any JIRA dashboard portlet can be embedded in a Confluence page using the JIRA Portlet macro. Integrating JIRA and Confluence User ManagementTo save you having to enter users into both JIRA and Confluence, you may benefit from using Atlassian Crowd as the user repository for both applications. Alternatively you can configure Confluence to use JIRA's user database. See Connecting to Crowd or JIRA for User Management. Useful PluginsBefore installing a plugin into your Confluence site, please check the plugin's information page to see whether it is supported by Atlassian, by another vendor, or not at all. See our guidelines on plugin support.
