Choose the hosting method that best suits your needs:

Gather Confluence Data Center credentials

Each setup method requires you to pass in credentials generated in Confluence Data Center. Gather these credentials before you move on.

A user with Administrator access in Confluence Data Center must perform this task.

Create an API token

1. Log into your Confluence Data Center account with Administrator access.

2. Navigate to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.

3. Click Create token.

4. Give your token a label, such as ConductorOne, and click Create.

5. Carefully copy and save the newly generated API token.

That’s it! Next, move on to the instructions for your chosen setup method.

Set up a Confluence Data Center self-hosted connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

• The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
• Access to the set of Confluence Data Center credentials generated by following the instructions above

When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with ConductorOne, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the ConductorOne UI for access reviews and access requests.

Why use Kubernetes? Kubernetes provides automated deployment, scaling, and management of your connectors. It ensures high availability and reliable operation of your connector services.

Step 1: Configure the Confluence Data Center connector

1. In ConductorOne, navigate to Connectors > Add connector.

2. Search for Baton and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new Confluence Data Center connector:

   • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)

   • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

   • Create a new managed app

4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

   If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

5. Click Next.

6. In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

7. Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret.

   Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Confluence Data Center connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-confluence-datacenter-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-confluence-datacenter-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # ConductorOne credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <ConductorOne client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <ConductorOne client secret>
  
  # Confluence Data Center credentials
  BATON_ACCESS_TOKEN: <Access token for your Confluence Data Center account>
  BATON_HOSTNAME: <URL of your Confluence Data Center instance>
  BATON_USERNAME: <Username for Confluence Data Center account>
  BATON_PASSWORD: <Password for Confluence Data Center account>

  # Optional: include if you want ConductorOne to provision access using this connector
  BATON_PROVISIONING: true

See the connector’s README or run --help to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

Deployment configuration

# baton-confluence-datacenter.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-confluence-datacenter
  labels:
    app: baton-confluence-datacenter
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-confluence-datacenter
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-confluence-datacenter
        baton: true
        baton-app: confluence-datacenter
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-confluence-datacenter
        image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-confluence-datacenter:latest
        args: ["service"]
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-confluence-datacenter-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

1. Create a namespace in which to run ConductorOne connectors (if desired):

   kubectl create namespace baton-confluence-datacenter
   

2. Apply the secret configuration:

   kubectl -n baton-confluence-datacenter apply -f baton-confluence-datacenter-secrets.yaml
   

3. Apply the deployment:

   kubectl -n baton-confluence-datacenter apply -f baton-confluence-datacenter.yaml
   

Step 4: Verify the deployment

1. Check that the deployment is running:

   kubectl -n c1 get pods
   

2. View the connector logs:

   kubectl -n c1 logs -l app=baton-${baton-confluence-datacenter}
   

3. Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In ConductorOne, click Applications. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Confluence Data Center connector to. Confluence Data Center data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

That’s it! Your Confluence Data Center connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
