Configuring SharePoint On-Premise connector in Dashboard

Steps

  1. Navigate to Administration > Data Sources > SharePoint On-Premise.
  2. Provide the Credentials name, Username, Password, and Domain URL, from the application.
    To allow the connector to access your SharePoint on-prem environment, you must provide an administrator account that has sufficient permissions to read from and manage the site. You will need the following details: -
    • Domain: The URL of the SharePoint site or site collection you want the connector to access. For example: http://sharepoint.company.local.

      How to find it:: Open your web browser and navigate to the SharePoint site you normally use, then copy the full URL from the address bar.

    • Username: This must be a SharePoint or domain administrator account.
    • Password: The password associated with the admin username.
  3. After entering the values, you can either just SAVE & CLOSE or you can proceed onto creating a scan configuration by clicking SAVE & CREATE SCAN.
  4. On the tab Scan configurations, click New Scan Configuration, next enter a Name, and select the Credentials created in the above steps from drop down. In the Path field, either select the Folder icon to select particular folders to scan, or leave the path as empty to scan all folders.
    • Fetch Cloud Labels: If selected, then sensitivity (AIP) and custom labels will be fetched for each file discovered in the scan. This data will be available in Cloud Labels field in Enterprise search. However, enabling this option slows down the scan.
    • Fetch Permissions: If selected, then permissions will be fetched for each file discovered in the scan. This data will be available in:
      • Anyone With Link and External Shared Link fields in Enterprise search (if a file is shared correspondingly).
      • Permissions tab of the sidebar in Enterprise search.
      • Risk field (it is calculated based on the permissions and the classification of the file).

    However, enabling this option slows down the scan.

    You can also edit the scan configuration created above later using Edit Configuration. For example, if you observe that you scans are running slow, you can go to the edit view and disable the options Fetch Cloud Labels and Fetch Permissions.
  5. (Optional) You can select the Geographic Location and the Data Owner from the drop downs.
  6. Next, click SAVE & CLOSE to just save the configuration or you can start the scan by clicking START FILE SCAN.
  7. The results can be viewed under Dashboard > Enterprise Search.
