Description

NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

At the present time, Confluence will not allow an administrator to edit the directory they are currently logged in from. For example, if logged into Confluence as a user from Crowd, the Crowd user directory will not be able to be modified. Normally we recommend logging in as the local Confluence admin in order to edit other directories.

However, when Crowd SSO is enabled, only users from the Crowd user directory can authenticate. To get around this, administrators will need to edit the seraph-config.xml to use the default Confluence authenticator instead of the Crowd SSO authenticator and restart Confluence in order to log in as the local admin. The application will require another restart to re-enable SSO.

This improvement request is to investigate if there's a better way to edit the Crowd user directory in Confluence when SSO is enabled.

The same is true of IIS with NTLM.
