If enabled, and if a request from any of these sites is received, an error message is displayed. However, if users still need to access a blacklisted site, they must contact their administrator to disable this option.

Profiles

Profiles are a common set of parameters used to access content from external locations. Available since 5.3.0. 

Use profiles to:

  • Allow user authentication as required by some URLs to be hidden from page viewers and editors. Only Confluence administrators have access to this information.

  • Enable macro editors to quickly configure the macro by reusing a shared definition for URL access. 

  • Make lesser changes to page

    contents when

    contents when base URLs are relocated as

    relative

    relative addressing is used in profiles. 

  • Macro configured URL (that is not a full URL) is appended to the profile provided URL. This absolute URL then points to the actual location of the content to be rendered.

    Note

    The base URL of the remote location to be accessed must be given in profiles, and the raw URL must be entered in the URL to the Visio file field in the macro editor. 

    A raw URL is defined as the part of the URL following the domain information and includes the query string, if present. For example, in the URL string http://www.contoso.com/articles/recent.aspx, the raw URL is /articles/recent.aspx.

Parameter

Description

Profile name

Enter a name for the profile. Profile names given here are populated in the Profile field in the macro editor.

Note

This name must be unique; else, the details specified overwrites the details of the existing profile. This may cause errors in pages where the profile is used.

Profile type

The default option for this parameter is URL. 

Info

Currently, only URLs are supported for use in profiles. In the upcoming releases, the support will be extended to access Visio files in other applications such as GitLab and GitHub.

URL

Enter the URL of the remote location to be accessed. It is recommended to provide the base URL here.

Note

A raw URL must be provided in URL to the Visio file in the macro editor.

Access token

Enter an access token or an API token for the application or service to be connected with. 

Note

If this parameter is specified, ensure that the User and Password parameters are left empty. It is recommended to use either of the user authentication methods but not both.

Each application has its own method of generating tokens. Access tokens or API tokens are a means of user authentication; so, if mentioned, this token is used for authentication instead of using user credentials.

  • Tokens are generated for a user after the application or service to be connected verifies the user's credentials. 

  • Enter the generated token here for a seamless connection between the app's macros and the application or service.

For example, refer to this article for information about generating a personal access token for Bitbucket.

URL parameters
