Server Data Stores

Currently, DDC supports only one server type data store: Sharepoint Server.

Adding Sharepoint Data Store

Use the Add Data Store wizard to add a new Sharepoint Server data store. This involves the following steps:

1. Select Store Type

1. In the Select Store Type screen of the wizard select Server in the Select Data Store Category.

2. In the Select Server Type drop-down list leave Sharepoint Server (it is pre-selected).

3. Click Next to go on to the Configure Connection screen.

2. Configure Connection

1. In the Configure Connection screen of the wizard, provide the following configuration details:

   • Hostname - the Sharepoint Server hostname.

   • Port - the port on which the server is accessed. The default port is 80.

   • User - a SQL user that is configured in Sharepoint and has access to the sites that you want to scan.

   • Password - the password used for the SQL user.

   • API Passwords - if multiple credentials are required to access the different Site Collections or Sites, you can use the Browse File button to upload a text file containing granular access credentials. The contents of such a text file must follow these rules:

     1. Each line of the text file defines a credential set for a URL path.

     2. Each line must be formatted as <url_path>|<username>|<password> where

        • <url_path> is the URL path to a Site Collection or Site.

        • <username> is the user name that has access to the URL path.

        • <password> is the password for the corresponding user.

   • Add Label - select a preferred agent for your new data store, by entering a label or removing and existing label. Agent labels represent the agent capabilities.

   Recommended Least Privilege User Approach: !!! note To reduce the risk of data loss or privileged account abuse, the Target credentials provided for the intended Target should only be granted read-only access to the exact resources and data that require scanning. Never grant full user access privileges or unrestricted data access to any application if it is not required.
