      Notes

      Workaround

      1) Login Crowd once, before logging in Confluence.
      2) Disabling SSO allows the login by disabling the Confluence "Crowd SSO Authenticator" and re-enabling the default Confluence authenticator:

      1. Shut down Confluence if it is currently running
      2. Edit the file CONFLUENCE/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/seraph-config.xml
      3. Uncomment the default Confluence authenticator:
        <authenticator class="com.atlassian.confluence.user.ConfluenceAuthenticator"/>
        
      1. Comment out the Crowd SSO Authenticator:
        <!-- <authenticator class="com.atlassian.confluence.user.ConfluenceCrowdSSOAuthenticator"/> -->
        
      1. Restart Confluence

      Note that this workaround is to allow users to log in to Confluence, however, SSO will not work with Confluence
