The following sections outline what changes need to be made to the SharePoint server
in order to work with the MFP browser. These steps should be repeated for every site
that will be used with the MFP browser.
ENABLING BASIC AUTHENTICATION
Due to limitations of the MFP browser, the default authentication method for
SharePoint (NTLM) is not supported. In order to use SharePoint with the MFP,
Basic Authentication must be enabled for the SharePoint site. Please note that,
while the passwords are encoded, this may not be considered the most secure
means of transmitting passwords from the MFP browser to the SharePoint server.
Please consider setting up the SharePoint site to use SSL with the MFP browser,
using a certifi cate provided by a reputable certifi cate authority such as VeriSign
™
