Some checks before moving on…

Checking the installation by downloading the rootservices document

To properly verify the installation, you’ll want to connect to your Confluence instance and try to access the root services document.

In the following commands, replace the APPLICATION_FQDN[:PORT] with the proper FQDN of your server and the port used, if it’s not using the default HTTPS port (443). In both cases, you expect the following result, namely the name of the OSLC plugin:

    <dcterms:title>OSLC Connect for Confluence</dcterms:title>
