1. Download the right version of remoteUserAuth.jar (I used 2.5.0) from https://github.com/chauth/confluence_http_authenticator/tree/master/releases, and store it in confluence/WEB-INF/lib. Make sure you're actually downloading the JAR file and not the HTML page.
2. Download https://github.com/chauth/confluence_http_authenticator/blob/master/conf/remoteUserAuthenticator.properties and save it as confluence/WEB-INF/classes/remoteUserAuthenticator.properties. The defaults were almost OK, the only thing I needed to change was convert.to.utf8=true.

3. Edit confluence/WEB-INF/classes/seraph-config.xml and change these values: 

   Code Block
   language html/xml
   <init-param> <param-name>login.url</param-name> <param-value>/login.action?os_destination=${originalurl}</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>link.login.url</param-name> <param-value>/login.action</param-value> </init-param>

   To these: 

   Code Block
   language html/xml
   <init-param> <param-name>login.url</param-name> <param-value>/mellon/login?ReturnTo=${originalurl}</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>link.login.url</param-name> <param-value>/mellon/login?ReturnTo=%2Fdashboard.action<${originalurl}</param-value> </init-param>

   Also, change the authenticator from this:

   Code Block
   <authenticator class="com.atlassian.confluence.user.ConfluenceAuthenticator"/>

   to this:

   Code Block
   <authenticator class="shibauth.confluence.authentication.shibboleth.RemoteUserAuthenticator"/>
