Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Display As | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the SharePoint URL. For example, Microsoft SharePoint (http://sharepoint.url.com/). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by account, you should use the default name. | Optional |
URL | Enter the URL for SharePoint including the site collection where the target document library exists. | Required |
User Name | Enter the SharePoint username. It can coincide with the Active Directory Universal Principal Name (UPN). | Required |
Password | Enter the password for the username added in the previous field. | Required |

SSO URL | Enter the URL of the configured SSO provider. | Optional |
Authentication type | Select the authentication method the server uses: Basic, Forms, or NTLM. You can select the Detect automatically option to have SkySync automatically detect the authentication type when testing the connection. This is the default selection. | Optional |
