SharePoint configuration requirements for harmon.ie
KB: SharePoint configuration requirements for harmon.ie
harmon.ie can access SharePoint sites using basic authentication, forms authentication, NTLM authentication and Kerberos authentication. For custom authentication methods, contact support@mainsoft.com
There are three configuration requirements for accessing a SharePoint Server from Outlook or Lotus Notes.
Web Service access
harmon.ie uses the Windows SharePoint Services Web Services to connect to a SharePoint site. You can verify they are accessible by visiting http://<SharePoint Server>/_vti_bin/sites.asmx.
Browsing subsites
The SharePoint administrator needs to grant Browse Directories permission for users to view subsites.

On the Permission Levels page, click the permission level that you want to edit. On the new page, you will see the Permissions > Site Permissions > Browse Directories check box, which should be selected.
Enabling client integration
Additionally, the Client integration setting must be enabled for the SharePoint site. Client integration is disabled by default when you use forms-based authentication, because client integration does not support forms-based authentication natively. If you choose to work in this configuration, you will have to work on documents locally and upload their changes. To enable client integration, go to the Permission Levels page (see table above) and click the permission level that you want to edit. On the new page, you will see the Permissions > Site Permissions > Use Client Integration Features check box, which should be selected.
