Using sharepoint webservices, how to authenticate

Posted by cverbiest on 21-Oct-2009 00:40

Hi,

We are about to (attempt) to interface with sharepoint (wss 3.0 / moss) using openedge 10.2A/10.2B.

I think authentication will be the first problem to tackle.

Are there examples available ?

Suggestions

Hints

...

Thanks for any help

Regards

Carl

OpenEdge 10.2A does not support NTLM authentication.

Configure your Sharepoint server to allow Basic Authentication (password sent in clear text)

To enable :
In IIS Manager go to : websites -> the sharepoint site -> properties -> Directory security -> Authentication and Access control -> Edit

According to tech support it is also possible to usean NTML Proxy, such as http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/ but I have not tried that yet.
