Log in to IBM FileNet P8 components
IBM FileNet Connector for SharePoint Web Parts and IBM FileNet Connector for SharePoint Document Libraries must authenticate users before accessing IBM FileNet P8 components. The authentication option chosen during installation determines the authentication process. The following sections describe the authentication process for each option.
IBM FileNet Credential Store
This option prompts you to log in using a valid FileNet P8 username and password the first time you access the FileNet P8 system. Once logged in, IBM FileNet Connector for SharePoint Web Parts creates a user profile linking your SharePoint user account to the FileNet P8 user account; this profile allows you to subsequently access the FileNet P8 system without logging in each time. If your user profile is deleted by an administrator, or if your FileNet P8 user account changes, you must log in again.
Microsoft® Windows integrated authentication
This option uses your Windows username to access the FileNet P8 system. This option requires that you do the following:
- Log in to SharePoint with the same username as you use to log in to Windows.
- Configure your web browser to allow you to use Windows authentication. Contact your site administrator for instructions if necessary.
