Secure Content Warning using Internet Explorer
Asked by Walker Bolton:

We are currently evaluating Confluence 4.2.12 and have it configured to run over SSL in order to comply with our security policies. The issue we're seeing is that certain action such as editing a page or using the View functionality in an attachment macro generate the following warning when using IE8 or above:

Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely? This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage

Is there a way to configure Confluence to ONLY use secure content so that we don't see this warning? If not, how are other clients getting around this?

Thanks,

Walker

author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Walker,

I'm the assignee of the ticket that you have opened in [Support.atlassian.com](http://Support.atlassian.com). As I commented there, it seems this behavior is open as a bug in our tracker: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-25296>

I'm afraid that the only workaround is to disable the setting in IE8, however I'll open space for other people to comment here if anyone has any other better workaround than the above. :)

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Rodrigo

confluence comment added to the wrong page
Asked by Mick Davidson:

Afternoon,

On Friday a client tried adding a comment to a page but got the following error msg:

Error loading the Editor template: 404 Not Found.

When he re-tried it, the editor loaded and he was able to add his comment.

However the comment was then added to a page a few sub-pages down the hierachy from the Home page. His origicall starting point was much deeper than that. So the msg was not only on a different page, it was a long way from it.

Can you think of why this might have happened?

Cheers,


Answers:
author: LuizA
body: ```
Mick, It will be hard to consider this as an issue since it happened only once and it's not reproduceable. I'd suggest raising a support ticket with your current logs in case this happens again.
```


author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: ```
Hello Mick,I've never seen this behavior before. Can you confirm if that's the first time you experienced this issue? Also, are you running Confluence behind a proxy or some kind of URL rewrite rule? If not, you can consider raising a support ticket in case this behavior happens again.
```

comments: author: Mick Davidson
body: Rodrigo,

It's definitley the first time anyone's reported it to me. Also, the user hasn't been able to reproduce the problems and nor have I. He was using IE9 behind a firewall.

Our wiki is hosted by a 3rd party, not Atlassian. We don't re-write URLs as far as I'm aware, how could I find out about that? It's no problem to raise a support ticket.

Cheers.


author: Mick Davidson
body: Sorry, he was running IE 7, I don't know if that makes any difference.

How should I nest my scaffolding reports?
Asked by Stefan Eike:

Hi, I'm trying to create conditional lists using *local-reporter* macro. If I select list-option *1* of the first list, the list *1* with the items *1-1* , *1-2* and *1-3* should appear, etc. It actually works, but I have to save and close the page, after choosing a list item, to see the child list appear. Is it possible to get conditional lists with more comfort?

```
|{list-data:1} {list-option:1}1{list-option} {list-option:2}2{list-option} {list-option:3}3{list-option}{list-data}||{report-block}{local-reporter:data:1}{text-filter:@self|include=1} {report-body}  {list-data:1}   {list-option:1-1}1-1{list-option}   {list-option:1-2}1-2{list-option}   {list-option:1-3}1-3{list-option}  {list-data} {report-body}{text-filter:@self|include=1} {report-body}  {list-data:2}   {list-option:2-1}2-1{list-option}   {list-option:2-2}2-2{list-option}   {list-option:2-3}2-3{list-option}  {list-data} {report-body} {text-filter:@self|include=1} {report-body}  {list-data:3}   {list-option:3-1}3-1{list-option}   {list-option:3-2}3-2{list-option}   {list-option:3-3}3-3{list-option}  {list-data} {report-body}{report-empty}Nothing is selected.{report-empty}{report-block}|

How can I show pictures in a gallery that source from various pages, based on a tag?
Asked by Henning K?hler:

We have attached many photos to various wiki pages.

On a special overview page, I need a gallery with a filter based on a tag like this:

"Show me all photos with the Tag 'Driver Desk'"

The content by label macro only results text links. I need to see photos.

The gallery makro does only allow to provide names of specific pages, but not an entire space. What can I do?

Thanks for your help.

You don't have permission to access /pages/doeditpage.action on this server.
Asked by Andreas Haaken:

Whats wrong?


Answers:
author: Andreas Haaken
body: Hi,

and sorry for beeing just that short. I tried to get a suggestion from the system to this error. But with no success ;)

The fault was our firewall, which blocked the access to files that are essential for the edit operation. Another rule solved the problem..

comments: author: Cesar Vinas
body: Andreas, I'm having a similar issue. Can you share the details of the rules that you had to put in place?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Can't argue with Thomas-S on this one. My best guess is your user is following a direct link to an edit on a page, and they don't have permissions to edit that page.


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: One thing that is wrong, is the amount of information you give us. What do you expect ? The only thing I can say to your question, is, you get the error, because you did not configure your permissions correctly.
Is it possible to change the OnDemand Administrator's name?
Asked by Mark Snelling:

I've just started a trial of OnDemand and want to change the name of the default created Administrator account but it doesn't seem possible.

For example my personal space created in Confluence is named Administrator and if say I want to create a company holiday calendar, enties for my holidays would be named Administrator rather then my real name.

We're a small company and creating another account for me just to have a different name would take us over the 10 users.


Answers:
author: Mark Snelling
body: Yes it is. It's done from the user management page.


author: JohnA
body: Hi Mark,

It's not possible to change usernames once they have been created, but it is possible to create a new user, assign them with the Administrator permissions and then delete/disable the default admin user that is created when the instance is deployed.

You can see about configuring permissions for your OnDemand instance in this document:https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Managing+application+permissions

You can see about managing users, such as creating, disabling and deleting them in this document: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Managing+users>

So hopefully this will give you all the information you need to create a new user, assign them the permissions and then remove the original user.

All the best,  
John

Is it possible to bypass page restrictions for specific users?
Asked by Ji?? Len?k:

Hi,

I ve got a questions from our managing directors, if it is possible to bypass page restrictions for specific user/groups. If somebody creates a new page and he forgets (for any reason) to add this groups to restrictions, it leads to problem.

Or...another way - is it possible to specify default groups / users to restriction in each space?


Answers:
author: JohnA
body: Hi Jiri,

To answer your question; it isn't possible to bypass restrictions unless the user is an administrator of the wiki.

However, as of Confliuence v4.2.6 there is an option to assign default Space permissions for Spaces when they are created: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+4.2.6+Release+Notes>

It is not currently possible to do the same fro pages, but there is an open feature request for this functionality: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-26306>

All the best,

What to do with large volumes of data?
Asked by David Huffman:

Hello:

We are planning on purchasing Confluence for our IC design team as a document repository.

We also have a test group that generates large volumes of data and we need a repository for that also.

Is Confluence a reasonable solution or should we go with a dedicated database like mySQL?

Thanks,

-Dave


Answers:
author: Jason Plumhoff
body: With Confluence, you could potentially build live charts and graphs using Bob Swift's SQL plugin to access data in your database. But for the sheer volume of data that I think you'd produce (and the fact that you probably need to give your users the ability to define queries and interactive parameters), I suspect Confluence might not quite be what you're looking for. It's a fantastic platform for sharing and collaborating on documents. But while it CAN be used to mine databases, that isn't it's primary function. If I were in your position, I'd probably be searching for a purpose-built package for that. On the other hand, if you're trying to keep costs down and know SQL really well, I'd be looking more at MS SQL server with SQL Server Reporting Services.

Note: This is all just my opinion (and I'm well outside my comfort zone here), so take everything I just said with a BIG grain of salt.

author: David Huffman
body: Hi Jason,

It's IC test data which will require "slicing and dicing" such as hystograms, fft's, plotting, statistical analysis, etc. We want to be able to access the data in a similar way as a database. The question is whether we should opt for a separate database package or can we pull it all together under one roof with Confluence.

Thanks,

image of notify mail is broken in outlook 2007
Asked by Keri Ko:

![](../../../upfiles/OL2007-broken_3.jpg)

<br />

If the image inserted into a page / blog through attaching from pc,

it couldn't show in outlook 2007, even when I logged in confluence with IE 8.

I founded the images source URL has been changed in outlook 2007.

For example, the image source link was:

[http://192.168.1.116/download/attachments/1245186/cat.jpg?version=1\&modificationDate=1344266671018](http://192.168.1.116/download/attachments/1245186/cat.jpg?version=1&modificationDate=1344266671018)

But outlook, it was different:

[http://192.168.1.116/download/attachments/1245186/cat.jpg?version=1\&amp;modificationDate=1344266671018](http://192.168.1.116/download/attachments/1245186/cat.jpg?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1344266671018)

Outlook added "amp;" after "\&" of the image link.

I doubt if this is the reason why outlook cannot show images.

Is there any solution for outlook to show the attached images?

BTW, is it possible to show images without login Confluence?

How to Deactivate a User in Atlassian OnDemand
Asked by Daniel Geske:

The [instructions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA051/Managing+Users#ManagingUsers-Deactivatingauser) to deactivate a user say the checkbox *active* should be unchecked. The Edit Profile page on our OnDemand instance does not show such checkbox.

HTML return code of 3000
Asked by Archie Huffman:

AT DST we use a product called End User Experience Monitor(EUEM), which is a network monitor. It's watching traffic to Confluence from users throughout the company. It is detecting errors in that traffic. It is not, itself, accessing Confluence. There is something in the Confluence code which is setting an HTML return code of 3000. The industry standard is to return a zero or a 200 if all works according to expectation. A code of 3000 is generally understood to be an error code. EUEM is seeing Confluence returning a 3000 and is flagging this as a page returning in error. We are not getting reports that Confluence is having problem from the end users so why are we getting these return codes of 3000?


Answers:
author: Bruna Griebeler
body: The best thing to do in order to check Confluence's behavior is, in fact, check its logs.

Maybe this code is appearing since the tool doens't have access to your Confluence pages, regarding restrictions. So it doesn't mean that Confluence is having any issue, just that the tool cannot access every page for security reasons.

Either way, when you experience this again, I suggest you to check the atlassian-confluence.log, on the same timestamp to check if confluence generates any errors or warnings.

Cheers
