IBM Connections Connector for Confluence
If you want to make a third-party wiki available to community users, you can integrate Confluence Wiki with the Communities application using the IBM Connections Connector for Confluence Wiki. The connector supports Confluence 3.0.2.When Confluence Wiki is integrated with a community, a link to the parent wiki page is provided in the navigation sidebar in the community's overview page. Community members automatically become members of the wiki, and any changes to community membership are propagated to the wiki. Community members have access to any feeds associated with the wiki, and attachments and comments on the wiki page are accessible from the community. If the community associated with a Confluence wiki is deleted, the wiki is also deleted.
IBM Connections does not currently support single sign-on for Confluence.
