Property | Description |
OAuthVersion | The version of OAuth being used. |
OAuthClientId | Specifies the client Id that was assigned the custom OAuth application was created. (Also known as the consumer key.) This ID registers the custom application with the OAuth authorization server. |
OAuthClientSecret | Specifies the client secret that was assigned when the custom OAuth application was created. (Also known as the consumer secret ). This secret registers the custom application with the OAuth authorization server. |
OAuthAccessToken | A token received after authentication to the OAuth network, granting the user access. The access token is used in place of the user's login ID and password, which stay on the server. |
Scope | This determines the scopes that the OAuth application requests from Confluence. |
OAuthSettingsLocation | Specifies 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. |

CallbackURL | The URL users return to after authenticating to Confluence via OAuth. |
OAuthVerifier | Specifies 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. |
OAuthRefreshToken | Gets and refreshes the currently-active OAuth Access Token. |
OAuthExpiresIn | Specifies 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. |
OAuthTokenTimestamp | Displays a Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds that shows how long ago the current Access Token was created. |
Property | Description |
SSLClientCert | Specifies 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. |
SSLClientCertType | Specifies 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. |
SSLClientCertPassword | Specifes 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. |
SSLClientCertSubject | Specifes 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. |
SSLServerCert | Specifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL. |
Property | Description |

FirewallServer | Identifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy used to traverse a firewall and relay user queries to network resources. |
FirewallPort | Specifies the TCP port to be used for a proxy-based firewall. |
FirewallUser | Identifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
FirewallPassword | Specifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
Property | Description |
ProxyAutoDetect | Specifies whether the provider checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations, rather than using a manually specified proxy server. |

ProxyUser | The username of a user account registered with the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property. |
ProxyPassword | The password associated with the user specified in the ProxyUser connection property. |
ProxySSLType | The SSL type to use when connecting to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property. |
ProxyExceptions | A semicolon separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the proxy server set in the ProxyServer connection property. |
Property | Description |
Logfile | Specifes the file path to the log file where the provider records its activities, such as authentication, query execution, and connection details. |
Verbosity | Specifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5. |
LogModules | Specifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged. |
MaxLogFileSize | Specifies 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. |
MaxLogFileCount | Specifies 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. |
Property | Description |
Location | Specifies 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. |
