User Sync & Group Sync app provisions user and group information from OneLogin to Confluence. Users, groups and
directory details can by provisioned using SCIM. SCIM provisioning works based on events performed on IDP.
This way the administrator only needs to manage user accounts in OneLogin.
This reduces the administration time required to create users and groups in Confluence modules such as Confluence.

Step 2:
Setup User Sync & Group Sync app

Step 3: LDAP Sync Settings
- The miniOrange user sync app now provides support for LDAP Sync. Follow the instructions to
configure the LDAP directory. By configuring the LDAP directory, you can synchronize all
attributes from your LDAP
directory and choose the attributes you wish to include in Confluence.
- Once you have successfully configured the LDAP directory in Confluence, you can test the specific
user’s
attributes by using the Test Sync button.
- To test your configuration, enter an username(sAMAccountName) from your directory's user data and click on
the
Search User button. You will then be able to view the details of the searched user.
Step 4: User Sync Settings
- Select the User Sync Settings tab from the left sidebar. Here you can configure different
settings about
user creation and updation.

- The user can be automatically enabled or disabled here based on IDP configuration.
- You also have an option to set Default Project Lead and Default Component
Lead.
- Attribute mapping enables you to map your attributes sourced from the IDP to Confluence attributes.
Through
this section you can map your Confluence attributes to the attributes coming from IDP. By default, username
attribute
corresponds to the username/userPrincipalName attribute, email corresponds to the email/mail attribute, and
displayName corresponds to the full name attribute. However, if you want to map these Confluence
attributes with other
attributes coming from IDP, you can use this feature to change the attribute mapping configurations.
- User sync also supports mapping of custom attributes. Here, you can create custom
attributes
and automatically assign values to them from the IDP (Identity Provider). Select the desired attributes from
the IDP that you want
to display in Confluence and provide a name for the custom attributes to be shown in Confluence.
- Custom fields will be displayed in the user profile section as shown below

- Here you can manually map Confluence groups with the groups from IDP.
- You can also configure to import IDP groups, filter groups and whether to keep existing users or not.
2. On-The Fly Group Mapping -
- Here users will be assigned to groups in Confluence whose group name is the same as groups from IDP. If
the
group doesn't exist in Confluence then it will be created.
- You can configure to keep the existing user groups, filter groups and apply regular expressions on the
groups.
