ManifoldCF 2.10 & Sharepoint 2013 - Configuration assistance

[Arjan Lieverse | Smartshore <ar...@smartshore.nl>]

Good morning,


I hope someone could help us.


We would like to crawl the contents of a SharePoint 2013 installation from
ManifoldCF.

From a browser everything seems to works correctly. I can log in into
Windows with the crawler user credentials and then access SharePoint
through the browser. From there I can reach the site collection for which
this user has authorization.

Steps I have taken:

   - I already installed the plugin on the SharePoint 2013 server
   (MCPermissions). This seems to be working.
   - Configured the repository in Manifold. See attachment. We used Active
   Directory (not SharePoint authorization)
   - Active Directory Authority works correct ManifoldCF says (using same
   crawler user credentials).

My Manifold settings:   <see attachment>

If I inspect the Manifold logfile, is see that it is trying to access the
SharePoint root (for which we do not have authorization) instead of the
mentioned site collection from the configuration. *Actually, it looks like
it is not using the configuration that I provided in the web interface.*

Upgrading Manifold from 2.8.1 to 2.10 did not help.... (well... we did not
expect that, but wanted to everything possible)

Can someone help us where to look next?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Arjan

Hi Arjan,

The ManifoldCF Sharepoint 2013 connector expects to be given either the
root of the whole SharePoint site, or the root of a virtual site.  The
error message displayed shows authorization error not accessing the root
but rather http://gocnavigator.com/projects/5277.  If this is a virtual
site, and you only have permissions for a subsite of this, you cannot use
ManifoldCF.  It is not set up to crawl with a root that is a subsite.
