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 Provider

Only Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is supported as an SSO provider for SharePoint at this time. 

Optional

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 DryvIQ automatically detect the authentication type when testing the connection. This is the default selection. 

Optional

Behavior when deleting items

Select the type of delete DryvIQ should perform when deleting items: Permanent or Soft. Soft delete is the default delete behavior; however, Permanent is the recommended behavior.

A soft delete marks items as a deleted. You can still access them to restore or permanently delete the items.

A permanent delete removes the items. This delete is not reversible.

...

Platforms all have unique features and limitations. DryvIQ’s transfer engine manages these differences between platforms and allows you to configure actions based on Job Policies and Behaviors. Use the Platform Comparison tool to see how your integration platforms may interact regarding features and limitations. For more information on SharePoint restrictions, see Microsoft’s official documentation.
