A duo confluence integration adds a second login check to your team wiki. You set it up by linking your wiki login page to your Duo account. Most teams use an identity provider or a local plugin to run this check. Once a user passes the check, the wiki trusts that session for hours. If wiki roles are too broad, one valid login opens up too much data.
How a duo confluence integration works in practice
The setup starts with how your team logs into the wiki today. Cloud wiki teams link their space to a central single sign-on service. Self-hosted wiki teams can use a single sign-on tool or install a local plugin. In both cases, the login flow follows the same basic steps.
First, a user types a username and password into the login screen. Next, the wiki or identity tool sends a check request to Duo. The user then gets a push alert on their phone or types a code. When the user approves the alert, Duo sends a pass signal back. Finally, the wiki opens the session and loads the user's home page.
Admins also set rules in Duo based on user groups and device health. You can block logins from old phones or unknown browsers before a session starts. You can also force a new check after a set number of hours.
What login checks solve and what they miss
Two-factor login checks stop attackers who only have a stolen password. Phishing attacks and password leaks lose much of their value when Duo steps in. Compliance rules also require multi-factor checks on all tools that hold company docs. For front-door security, this setup does its job well.
Still, a login check only decides who gets through the front door. It does not watch or control what happens after the session starts. Once inside the wiki, the user gets every permission tied to their wiki role. Over time, wiki spaces grow messy and teams share broad edit rights.

Engineers also store database details, API keys, and run steps inside wiki pages. An engineer logs into the wiki, copies a command, and runs it elsewhere. Duo sees the morning wiki login, not the database queries run an hour later. Also, API tokens and scripts often bypass the normal browser login screen. If a token leaks, two-factor checks on the web page will not stop it.
Managing permissions and actions beyond the login screen
To keep systems safe, teams must separate wiki login from backend system actions. Start by cleaning up wiki group roles every quarter. Remove broad read and write grants that give every worker entry to sensitive spaces. Keep internal system docs open only to the teams that run those systems.
Next, stop storing raw passwords or long-lived keys inside wiki pages. Even with strong wiki login checks, plain text secrets on a page create risk. Anyone with read rights can copy those keys to their own laptop. Move secrets into dedicated vaults and check every query or command at runtime. When you control actions in flight, a broad wiki role causes much less harm.
Check database and API queries on the wire
Identity tools, roles, and network rules decide who opens a session. Setup alone cannot check what each query does or mask sensitive values in a response once a session starts. When workflows touch Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, ClickHouse, Kubernetes APIs, SSH, or internal HTTP APIs, hoop.dev runs beside those services as an open-source proxy, a sidecar for your Postgres or API. It inspects requests coming in and results going back on the wire.
Your login details and client tools stay as they are while hoop.dev guardrails refuse bad deletes or drops before they run. On responses, hoop.dev data masking rewrites matched sensitive values in memory. Furthermore, hoop.dev holds SOC 2 Type II, is MIT licensed, and writes every query and decision to an audit trail that generates evidence for HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. See the source on GitHub.
Frequently asked questions
Does Duo work with both cloud and self-hosted Confluence?
Yes, Duo works with both versions of the wiki. Cloud teams link Duo through their central single sign-on provider. Self-hosted teams can use single sign-on or add a plugin to the server.
What happens to API scripts when we turn on Duo?
Browser login checks do not apply to personal API tokens by default. Scripts using tokens will keep running without a phone push alert. You should review and rotate all active API tokens on a strict schedule.
Can Duo restrict which wiki pages a user can read?
No, Duo only controls the login step and group access to the whole app. You must set page and space read rules inside the wiki permission settings.
