SharePoint Fingerprinting Wizard

SharePoint Fingerprinting Wizard - Site Root

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.4.x

Use the Site Root page of the SharePoint fingerprinting wizard to identify the folders to scan:

Enter the SharePoint Site root hostname (for example, http://gumby/site_name). (Note that a site is different than a folder in SharePoint. The system supports only site-level URLs for this field.)

An IP address may be used, if the SharePoint administrator adds it to an alternate access map.

(In SharePoint 2010, this is done under Central Administration > Alternate Access Mapping > Add Internal URLs. In SharePoint 2013, go to Central Administration > Configure Alternate Access Mappings > Add Internal URLs.)

The SharePoint fingerprinter connects to site collections—such as http://intranet/sites/HR:8080—and not web applications.

Enter the User name for an account with administrative rights to the shared folder. As a best practice, enter the name of the SharePoint site owner with Full Control permissions.

Enter the Password for this account.

Optionally, enter the Domain name for the account.

Click Next to continue. See SharePoint Fingerprinting Wizard - Scanned Documents.

When you click Next on this screen, Forcepoint DLP attempts to connect to the root-site using the given credentials. You are alerted if the attempt fails.
