Modifying Hidden Atlassian Confluence V2 Source Parameters

The Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool present the parameters with which you can configure the connector for most Confluence setups. More advanced and more rarely used parameters are hidden. You can choose to make one or more of these parameters appear in the Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool so that you can change their default value. Consider changing values of hidden parameters when you encounter issues.

The following list describes the advanced hidden parameters available with Confluence V2 sources. The parameter type (integer, string,…) appears between parentheses following the parameter name.

IndexArchivedSpaces (Boolean) CES 7.0.8996+ (June 2017)

Whether to retrieve the content of archived spaces. The default value is True.

IndexCurrentSpaces (Boolean) CES 7.0.8996+ (June 2017)

Whether to retrieve the content of active (unarchived) spaces. The default value is True.

IndexSpaces (Boolean) CES 7.0.9167+ (December 2017)

Whether to index spaces (the entities, not the space content) as separate documents. The default value is True.

SpacesBatchSize (Integer)

The number of spaces to retrieve with each call to the REST API (between 1 and 500). The default value is 50.

ContentItemsBatchSize (Integer)

The number of content items to retrieve with each call to the REST API (between 1 and 100). The default value is 50.

UseRequestParametersAuth (Boolean) Security provider

Whether to use request parameters os_username and os_password instead of the HTTP basic authentication via standard HTTP headers. The default value is False. Set to True when you use cookie (form-based) authentication (e.g., Okta single-sign on).

Note: CES 7.0.8691+ (December 2016) The Coveo plugin works with single sign-ons such as Okta when the UseRequestParametersAuth parameter is set to true (see Installing the Coveo Plugin for Atlassian Confluence V2).

NumberOfRetries (Integer)

The maximum number of times a failing request is retried. The default value is 5 retries.

RequestTimeout (Integer)

The maximum amount of time in seconds a request can be executed before being canceled. The default value is 100 seconds.

ActiveDirectoryDomainNameForMappings (String) Security provider

(When your Confluence usernames are the same as the ones in your Active Directory) The Active Directory domain name used to map Confluence permissions to AD identities.

Example: When you enter TechnoWiki as your company domain, every username will be mapped like the following when permissions are resolved:

TechnoWiki\username

Use the following procedure only when you want to modify one or more of the above hidden source parameters.

To modify hidden Confluence V2 source parameters

1. Refer to Adding an Explicit Connector Parameter to add one or more Confluence V2 hidden source parameters.

2. For a new Confluence V2 source, access the Add Source page of the Administration Tool to modify the value of the newly added advanced parameter:

   1. Select Index > Sources and Collections.

   2. Under Collections, select the collection in which you want to add the source.

   3. Under Sources, click Add.

   4. In the Add Source page, edit the newly added advanced parameter value.

3. For an existing Confluence V2 source, access the Source: ... General page of the Administration Tool to modify the value of the newly added advanced parameter:

   1. Select Index > Sources and Collections.

   2. Under Collections, select the collection containing the source you want to modify.

   3. Under Sources, click the existing Confluence V2 source in which you want to modify the newly added advanced parameter.

   4. In the Source: ... General page, edit the newly added advanced parameter value.

4. Rebuild your Confluence V2 source to apply the changes to the parameters (see Applying an Action to a Collection or a Source).
