Announcing SharePoint Connector 1.1 - a Wiki for SharePoint
Geschrieben von: Confluence Product Blog Dienstag, den 19. Januar 2010 um 19:52 Uhr
Since we launched the Confluence SharePoint Connector just over a year ago, we've gotten tremendous uptake from our customers. Hundreds of customers have found SharePoint's more structured document-management capabilities to be a great complement to Confluence's free-form wiki collaboration capabilities. The SharePoint Connector creates a far more powerful SharePoint wiki by letting you:
- Embed SharePoint lists into your Confluence page through the {sp-list} macro
- Embed Confluence pages into your SharePoint site using the out-of-the-box Confluence web parts
- Perform secure, federated search between the two platforms
- Maintain single-sign-on and common user management between the two
So it's with great pleasure that we announce our latest release, the Confluence SharePoint Connector 1.1. This release has many performance and configuration improvements that will make your integration between Confluence and SharePoint even better. Altogether, we've resolved 30 outstanding issues across a number of areas. To see a complete list of improvements, see our Confluence SharePoint Connector 1.1 release notes. In the mean time, here's a summary of what we've improved:
Enhanced Federated Search
The previous implementation of search relied on SharePoint indexing Confluence's cached search index. The new implementation of federated search performs a live search against Confluence's content making federated search faster and more accurate for end users. Plus it's easier for administrators to set up in the first place making a better experience for everyone.
Alternative SharePoint URL
In the previous version of the SharePoint Connector, Confluence accessed SharePoint through the same URL as every SharePoint user. In SPC 1.1, Confluence can connect to SharePoint through its own URL, such as a URL that is only available from behind a firewall or VPN. This can drastically improve performance and also resolves problems where the SharePoint installation uses an authentication protocol not supported by Confluence, such as NTLMv2 or Kerberos.
