Not able to create sharepoint connection
Hi All,
I was trying out the sharepoint repository connector provided by manifold CF, following are the steps that I carried out to get it up and running.
For building and deploying the CF, I followed the procedure given at http://incubator.apache.org/connectors/how-to-build-and-deploy.html
I have build the connector on my linux machine and deployed the application using quick start process.
The question that came to me during the build process was - is .NET and MS Visual studio absolutely necessary for building the sharepoint connector or is it sufficient to provide only those 5 wsdl file mentioned in the guide and does it works on windows only as I am able to see manifoldCF UI on to my browser by simply deploying the quickstart version along with sharepoint repository connection.
I started to make the sharepoint repository connection to crawl one of the sharepoint site and following are the problems I encountered while creating it
1. After creating the sharepoint repository connection, the status shows me a message as follows
Connection status: The site at http://portal.mydomain.co.in/sites/Documents/Forms did not exist
2. With a different sharepoint site, connection status shows me following message
Connection status: ManifoldCF's MCPermissions web service may not be installed on the target SharePoint server. MCPermissions service is needed for SharePoint repositories version 3.0 or higher, to allow access to security information for files and folders. Consult your system administrator.
Can any when tell me whether I am missing some steps
Thanks in advance.
-Regards,
Pravin

You might be interested to know that we now prebuild the SharePoint
MCPermissions web service, and will be including this as part of the
release for ManifoldCF 0.4-incubating. You can pick it up on trunk
now; it's delivered (along with installation instructions and .bat
scripts) under dist/sharepoint-integration when you build.

Hi Pravin,
The .NET piece of the SharePoint connector is necessary only if you
select the sharepoint 3.0 radio button when you set up your SharePoint
repository connection. If you don't want to build and deploy the
MCPermissions plugin on the server-side SharePoint, you can certainly
avoid that by simply selecting the sharepoint 2.0 radio button
instead. However, if you choose to do it this way, then SharePoint's
file and folder permissions will not be accessible to the connector.
(These were added in 3.0 but Microsoft overlooked the web service
methods that would allow external access to them.)
It sounds like, with this change, you were probably successful in
connecting to the second system you tried. For the first system, can
you tell me a bit more about it? For example, what version of
SharePoint was it? And, did you follow the instructions and use your
browser to determine the proper connection URL?
I'm actually very interested to talk with someone who has access to a
functioning SharePoint setup, since I lost access to my SharePoint
testbed a while ago and would dearly love to bring that connector up
to snuff for SharePoint 2010. I'm hoping Microsoft actually corrected
the missing feature that required the MCPermissions plugin, for
instance. Please let me know if you are willing to experiment a bit
to help us with this connector.
Thanks!
