Cause

This is caused by an incorrect SharePoint Site URL. The URL should point to a SharePoint Site, not a SharePoint Site page. So the correct URL should not be ended by a page name or any .asp or .aspx page (e.g. default.aspx). Here is an example of the correct and wrong SharePoint Site URL configured in Confluence:

Correct (tick)Wrong (error)
http://sharepoint-serverhttp://sharepoint-server/default.aspx
http://sharepoint-server/mysitehttp://sharepoint-server/mysite/default.aspx
https://sharepoint-server:8080/sites/sitecollection1https://sharepoint-server:8080/sites/sitecollection1/default.aspx

Resolution

  1. Go to Confluence Admin > SharePoint Admin
  2. Edit the problematic SharePoint connection
  3. Correct the SharePoint Site URL
  4. Update SharePoint Settings
  5. Test Setting.
