SharePoint Discovery Task Wizard - Site Root

Use the Site Root page of the SharePoint discovery task wizard to identify the site to scan.

Steps

  1. Under Site root hostname:
    • For Local SharePoint sites, enter the hostname of the site root, such as http:// gumby:1234/site_name. (Note that a site is different than a folder in SharePoint. Forcepoint DLP supports only site-level URLs for this field.)

      It is possible to use an IP address instead of a hostname, but the SharePoint administrator must add the IP address to an alternate access map.

    • For Online SharePoint sites, enter the URL of the site root—for example: http://comp.gumby.com.

      The system clock of the Forcepoint DLP server running this task must be synchronized with the Internet time server within 5 minutes for connection to succeed.

  2. Enter the User name and Password for an account with access to this site. This must be a user with administrative rights. Read permissions are not sufficient.
    Note:

    SharePoint administrative rights include the following permission levels:

    Permission names may vary between SharePoint versions.

    • Browse directories
    • View pages
    • Open
    • Use remote interfaces
    • Enumerate permissions
    • View items
    • View Versions
    • Browse user information
  3. Optionally, enter the Domain for the administrator account.
  4. Click Next, then continue with SharePoint Discovery Task Wizard - Scanned Documents.
