SharePoint 2007 Confi guration

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

.

1. Open SharePoint’s Central Administration and sign on as the administrator.

2. Once signed in, you will see an Application Management link on the top bar.

Click on this link to bring you to the Application Management screen, which

will allow you to alter settings for your SharePoint site(s).

3. Once on the Application Management screen, you will see various links to

settings for the SharePoint site and functionality to create new sites. In the

Application Security group of this screen, click on Authentication providers.
