If you have already been using Atlassian Confluence, and are now configuring Confluence as a Crowd application, you will probably want to import your existing Confluence users and groups into a Crowd directory.
It is recommended that you import your Confluence users into an Internal Directory that has its 'Password Encryption' set to 'ATLASSIAN-SHA1'. Otherwise, users' passwords will not be copied across to Crowd.
 | Before you begin:
You will need to have installed the Confluence instance's database JDBC driver in the Crowd CLASS-PATH. |
To import users and groups from Atlassian Confluence into a Crowd directory,
- Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
- Click the 'Directories' link in the top navigation bar.
- This will display the Directory Browser. Click the 'Import Users' link.
- This will display the 'Import Type' screen. Click the 'Atlassian Importer' button.
- This will display the 'Options' screen. Complete the fields as follows:
- 'Atlassian Product' — select 'Confluence'.
- 'Directory' — select the directory that is mapped to the Confluence application.
- 'DB URL' — type the URL of your Confluence instance's database. The exact syntax will depend on which database you are using; see Database Configuration in the Confluence Configuration Guide.
- 'DB Driver' — type the name of your Confluence instance's database JDBC driver (e.g. for MYSQL, type com.mysql.jdbc.Driver).
- 'Username' — type the username of the database user that Crowd will use to login to your Confluence instance's database.
- 'Password' — type the password of the database user Crowd will use to login to your Confluence instance's database.
The import process will log in to the database, not into Confluence.
- Click the 'Continue' button to import the users from your Confluence instance into your Crowd directory.
- The 'Status' screen will be displayed, showing how many users and groups have been imported into your Crowd directory.
- Click the 'Principals' button to view and manage the imported users and groups via the Crowd Administration Console (assuming the directory's permissions allow this).
