SharePoint Site (Administration)

The administrator can view and edit a single Sharepoint Site record.

SharePoint Authentication Process - There are two modes of authentication used to access SharePoint Sites, Default User and Current User. The Default User saves the authentication credentials within the SharePoint Site data record and the Current User is prompted to login once per session for each user.

Default User - When the SharePoint Site Authentication Mode is set to Default User, the Default Username and Default Password will be checked at the time the SharePoint Site Dialog is saved. The SharePoint Site Dialog cannot be saved with an invalid Default Username and Default Password. If the Default User credentials change or expire after being saved in the SharePoint Site Dialog, an error message will be displayed whenever access to the SharePoint Site is requested.

Current User - When the SharePoint Site Authentication Mode is set to Current User, each user will be prompted to provide a username and password that will be used to access the SharePoint Site. If they successfully authenticate to a SharePoint Site, the credentials will be saved for the duration of the user’s web session. In addition, the username will be saved and will default as the username when the user attempts to authenticate against the SharePoint Site in a future web session. If the current user’s SharePoint login credentials change or expire during a web session, the user will be re-prompted to provide a new username and password when access to the SharePoint Site is requested. The SharePoint Login Control will be used to collect the authentication credentials.
