Authentication


PropertyDescription
AuthSchemeThe type of authentication to use when connecting to Confluence.
URLThe URL to your JIRA endpoint.
CloudIdThe Cloud Id for the Atlassian site that was authorized.
UserSpecifies the user ID of the authenticating Confluence user account.
PasswordSpecifies the password of the authenticating user account.
APITokenAPIToken of the currently authenticated user.
PATPersonal Access Token of the currently authenticated user.
TimezoneSpecify the timezone of the Confluence instance in order to use the datetime filters accordingly and retrieve the results according to your timezone. An example of a timezone would be America/New_York.

SSO


PropertyDescription
SSOLoginURLThe identity provider's login URL.
SSOPropertiesAdditional properties required to connect to the identity provider, formatted as a semicolon-separated list.
SSOExchangeUrlThe URL used for consuming the SAML response and exchanging it for service specific credentials.
SSOAppNameApp Name used with SSO for IdPs that require it.
SSOAppPasswordApp Password used with SSO for IdPs that require it.

OAuth


PropertyDescription
InitiateOAuthSpecifies the process for obtaining or refreshing the OAuth access token, which maintains user access while an authenticated, authorized user is working.
OAuthVersionThe version of OAuth being used.
OAuthClientIdSpecifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication.
OAuthClientSecretSpecifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server.
OAuthAccessTokenSpecifies the OAuth access token used to authenticate requests to the data source. This token is issued by the authorization server after a successful OAuth exchange.
ScopeThis determines the scopes that the OAuth application requests from Confluence.
OAuthSettingsLocationSpecifies the location of the settings file where OAuth values are saved. Storing OAuth settings in a central location avoids the need for users to enter OAuth connection properties manually each time they log in. It also enables credentials to be shared across connections or processes.
CertificateStoreThe certificate store used for Confluence authentication.
CertificateStorePasswordThe password of the certificate store used with Confluence authentication.
CertificateSubjectThe subject of the certificate used with Confluence Private Application authentication.
CertificateStoreTypeThe type of certificate store used with Confluence Private Application authentication.
CallbackURLThe URL users return to after authenticating to Confluence via OAuth.
OAuthVerifierSpecifies a verifier code returned from the OAuthAuthorizationURL . Used when authenticating to OAuth on a headless server, where a browser can't be launched. Requires both OAuthSettingsLocation and OAuthVerifier to be set.
OAuthRefreshTokenSpecifies the OAuth refresh token used to request a new access token after the original has expired.
OAuthExpiresInSpecifies the duration in seconds, of an OAuth Access Token's lifetime. The token can be reissued to keep access alive as long as the user keeps working.
OAuthTokenTimestampDisplays a Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds that shows how long ago the current Access Token was created.

SSL


PropertyDescription
SSLClientCertSpecifies the TLS/SSL client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication (2-way SSL). This property works in conjunction with other SSL-related properties to establish a secure connection.
SSLClientCertTypeSpecifies the type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate for SSL Client Authentication. Choose from a variety of key store formats depending on your platform and certificate source.
SSLClientCertPasswordSpecifes the password required to access the TLS/SSL client certificate store. Use this property if the selected certificate store type requires a password for access.
SSLClientCertSubjectSpecifes the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate to locate it in the certificate store. Use a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields, such as CN=www.server.com, C=US. The wildcard * selects the first certificate in the store.
SSLServerCertSpecifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.

Firewall


PropertyDescription
FirewallTypeSpecifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallServerIdentifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy used to traverse a firewall and relay user queries to network resources.
FirewallPortSpecifies the TCP port to be used for a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallUserIdentifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallPasswordSpecifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall.

Proxy


PropertyDescription
ProxyAutoDetectSpecifies whether the provider checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations, rather than using a manually specified proxy server.
ProxyServerThe hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through.
ProxyPortThe TCP port on your specified proxy server (set in the ProxyServer connection property) that has been reserved for routing HTTP traffic to and from the client.
ProxyAuthSchemeSpecifies the authentication method the provider uses when authenticating to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
ProxyUserThe username of a user account registered with the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
ProxyPasswordThe password associated with the user specified in the ProxyUser connection property.
ProxySSLTypeThe SSL type to use when connecting to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
ProxyExceptionsA semicolon separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the proxy server set in the ProxyServer connection property.

Logging


PropertyDescription
LogfileSpecifes the file path to the log file where the provider records its activities, such as authentication, query execution, and connection details.
VerbositySpecifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.
LogModulesSpecifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged.
MaxLogFileSizeSpecifies the maximum size of a single log file in bytes. For example, '10 MB'. When the file reaches the limit, the provider creates a new log file with the date and time appended to the name.
MaxLogFileCountSpecifies the maximum number of log files the provider retains. When the limit is reached, the oldest log file is deleted to make space for a new one.

Schema


PropertyDescription
LocationSpecifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path.

CacheMetadataDetermines whether the provider caches table metadata to a file-based cache database.

Miscellaneous


PropertyDescription
IgnoreErrorsOnPaginationThis property allows the driver to skip pages that encounter specified server errors during paginated queries and continue retrieving the remaining pages. Note: This property only affects tables with client-side paging.
IncludeArchivedSpacesWhether to include content from archived spaces in the result. This defaults to false.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
