Can I avoid a Page Break after some H1 headers but not all in PDF Export?
Asked by Pamela Sheridan:

Hi,

Version: Confluence 5.5.6 :

I've searched the user guides/forums but cannot find a specific answer to this question, maybe someone else has come across this before:

In some scenarios I have :

H1 : Heading

Info

Supplementary info

H2 : Sub Topic of H1

In other scenarios I have :

H1 Heading

H2: Subtopic of H1

H2: another Subtopic of H1

In scenario 1 - I want there to be a page break before H2 however in scenario 2 I do not want there to be a page break as it results in one long empty page before h2 in the PDF export. Can I customize this using the PDF stylesheet?

Similar queries that do not address this issue include:

I guess **manually** adding page breaks as described by [Steven](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/314427/answers/15298955) will be the easiest and most failure-proof solution for your case.

If you really want to try with an automatic solution search for "adjacent sibling combinator" and build something around h1+h2 { ... }


author: Nils Bier _K15t_
body: Hi Pamela,

have you already had a look at the [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-pdf)?

Using this you can either insert specific page-breaks on your Confluence pages directly (see [Adding Pagebreaks](https://www.k15t.com/display/PDF/Adding+Pagebreaks)), or generate multiple templates, one with pagebreaks before every H2 and one without any pagebreaks (see [Enforcing Pagebreaks](https://www.k15t.com/display/PDF/Enforcing+Pagebreaks)).

Does this help?

Best,  
Nils

comments: author: Pamela Sheridan
body: Thanks Nils! Yes , we don't have access to Scroll PDF exporter so I'm trying this using the CSS, my problem is the two scenarios above occur in the same document (its a very large document) so I need page breaks in some chapters but not in others (I've tried page-break : auto, left , right etc) ... Ill see if I can create a similar user macro to 'Disable Pagebreaks' that could be the possible solution - thanks for you suggestions and rapid response - really appreciated!

ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
Asked by Alfa Beta:


Answers:
author: rrudnicki
body: Hi,

It also can be related to Firefox browser. If it is the case, please try the steps below:

Enable support for 40-bit RSA encryption in the Firefox Browser:  
1: enter 'about:config' in Browser Address bar  
2: find/select "security.ssl3.rsa_rc4_40_md5"  
3: set boolean to TRUE  

Once this is done, when the Welcome screen is manually refreshed, a screen requiring the user  
to register the Certificate Exception will come up, where the Error message had been before.   
Once the Exception is registered, the Welcome screen, and other Report screens will display

Usually the errors for SSL are the same for the products, because it's the same technology.

Page restriction issue for Quick Link pages

Seraph SSO configuration using target url that contains query parameters
Asked by bryan staley:

We have an SSO solution that uses Shibboleth SSO for SSO authentication to a Confluence wiki site. We've configured Seraph (login.url and link.login.url) to redirect through Shibboleth as follows:

```
&lt;init-param&gt;  &lt;param-name&gt;login.url&lt;/param-name&gt;            &lt;param-value&gt;https://&lt;sp domain&gt;/Shibboleth.sso/Login?target=https://&lt;wiki domain&gt;/wiki?os_destination=${originalurl}&lt;/param-value&gt;  &lt;/init-param&gt;&lt;init-param&gt;       &lt;param-name&gt;link.login.url&lt;/param-name&gt;  &lt;param-value&gt;https://&lt;sp domain&gt;/Shibboleth.sso/Login?target=https://&lt;wiki domain&gt;/wiki?os_destination=${originalurl}&lt;/param-value&gt;   &lt;/init-param&gt;
```

The problem is, the originalurl contains query parameters (e.g https://\<wiki domain\>/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?title=Home\&spaceKey=Space). When this is sent back to the SP, only the ${originalurl} portion is URL encoded. Once the SP decodes the target, the 2nd originalulr query parameter (spaceKey in this example) is interpret as the target's query parameters.

It seems as if i need to url encode the entire target after the originalurl has been encoded (i.e dual encode the originalurl) so original url can survive the SP decode.

How can i handle origianlurl's that contain query parameters?

Thanks

Gmail and other emails are "not from an allowed domain"?
Asked by David Brewer:

When new users try to register to help at <https://stepweb.atlassian.net/admin/users/sign-up>

they are being told that "The email address provided is not from an allowed domain."

This occurs even for Gmail addressses, so I guess it must be a bug.


Answers:
author: Dave
body: Hi David,

This is likely due to your signup settings. If you check <https://stepweb.atlassian.net/admin/signup>, make sure you don't have the Restricted domains option selected.

Cheers,

-dave


author: Phillip M.
body: Are there any domains that are always allowed? I am trying to sign up for an account at tshock.atlasian.net and this exact thing is happening even with my Gmail.

If there are no automatic exceptions, perhaps you (atlassian) should make one. I recommend either gmail (with an administrative option to explicitly restrict Gmail) or some trusted domain.

comments: author: Dave
body: This is setup by the admins of each individual instance.


author: Phillip M.
body: Well yes I figured that much out. I meant that, in my opinion, the software should default to still allowing a single preset domain even if Restricted Domains is enabled, I'm not sure how you would end up forgetting to include something on the whitelist if you enable it, but it's possible.

Anyway, I don't really know anything about the administration side of the software. I'm only a user as of this point, although that may change if I ever need something like this. After all, if the Minecraft's official issue tracker is JIRA, you must be half decent.


author: Dave
body: The issue with whitelisting those public domains is that it would be counter to the idea of restricting domains. Gmail has about 500 Million users; no admin would want to default signup to their instance to that pool. Your admin can set a list of accepted domains on the signup page referenced above.


author: Phillip M.
body: Yeah, I understand. I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking.


author: David Brewer
body: Great answer! Thanks for your help.

How do i set myself as system admin when a Atlassian users is set as this?
Asked by Rachel Maguire:

Currently I am the Confluence Administrator and there is an Atlassian user as systems admin, however do I remove this person and become the system administrator as I currently cant view all the pages and spaces the team is creating.

Why is there a Atlassian user set up on my account? Can they view the work on my confluence?

Email address[noreply@mailer.atlassian.com](mailto:noreply@mailer.atlassian.com)Usernameaddon_lucidchart-app


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If you are on the Cloud version, the systems administrator account is the Atlassian login for looking after your system. You will not be able to remove that user, they have complete access to your system (because they need it for support), you will not get your account elevated to have the same rights as them, but the account will NOT count towards your licence limit.

If you are using your own installation, then yes, as a full system admin, you can remove it. You probably inherited it from a Cloud -\> Server migration.

The lucidchart-app is another thing though - it is a user created to enable the use of the Lucid Chart addon - it's a normal user account, but may well have lots of privileges. As an admin, have a look at the groups it is in to start with.

Adding PocketQuery to a page causes sidebar ("Page tree") to disapper
Asked by Infinidat Jira Admin:

Hi,  

Whenever I'm adding a PocketQuery macro to any page this page stops displaying the sidebar to disappear.

After some digging, I realized the problem is that the right pane (the page) completely overlaps the sidebar.

You can see an example screenshot below (sorry for having to mangle the image..)

I tried replacing the PocketQuery template to a clear one (no formatting at all) and it didn't solve it..

How to manual sync LDAP data in Confluence3.2.
Asked by Willam Won:

How to manual sync LDAP data in Confluence3.2? I can't find button to resync ldap user.


Answers:
author: Alejandro Conde Carrillo
body: As you are using a very old version of Confluence, I am not sure this is valid but Confluence should synchronize with LDAP user directories on startup. Restarting Confluence should synchronize LDAP data.

In any case, as you are using a very old version of Confluence, I would recommend you to update to at least Confluence 3.5. Confluence 3.5 introduces a new user management which makes a lot (really A LOT) easier to configure and manage external user directories through Confluence Admin user interface. By upgrading to Confluence 3.5.x you will still keep wiki markup so most things you are using in 3.2 should still work with 3.5. If you upgrade to Confluence 4.x or later you will not be able to use wiki markup.
