What SharePoint authentication methods do Colligo products support?

This article applies to:
7.x
 Briefcase for Windows, Email Manager for Outlook
6.x
 Briefcase for Windows, Contributor Pro, Email Manager for Outlook

When using SharePoint’s web services to access SharePoint data, both Email Manager for Outlook and Briefcase for Windows respect all the privileges defined on the site. A user needs at least read access to an item in order to read it. Colligo supports most standard sign-on processes supported by SharePoint, including support for default credentials and other specified credentials. Passwords are stored in a secure manner using the Windows Cryptographic API.

The following authentication providers are supported in each version of the product:

Contributor 4.x

  • Kerberos (Integrated Windows)
  • NTLM (Integrated Windows)
  • Classic mode (SharePoint 2007/2010)
  • Claims based (SharePoint 2010/2013)
