5. Provide values for at least the following fields:

   You'll find example values below. See the table below for more information about each of the fields.

   Add Jive Installation Fields

   Field Name	Field Description/Details	Example
   Name	A name of the respective Jive installation; to be used during web part configuration, workflow configuration, and site settings.	Jive Installation 1
   Jive Internal URL	URL path that is used for communication from the SharePoint server to Jive (this may be same value as used for the Jive External URL).	http://jive.jivekrb5.local
   Jive External URL	URL path that is handed to the client (the user's browser) to resolve Jive-specific resources (this may be the same value as used for the Jive Internal URL).	http://jive.jivekrb5.local
   SharePoint Domain	(Optional) This is used if there is more than one domain; it helps distinguish between the same user name that may exist in separate domains. Jive only allows for a single domain. If provided, it limits access to Jive functionality to only those users in the specified domain.
   Jive Service User	User account (may be a normal Jive account) used to access Jive services on behalf of SharePoint users. This account simply needs to have normal access to Jive. No overrides are required. Note that if Kerberos is enabled (further below), the service account is only used by the Copy To workflow background task.	jiveaccess
   Jive Service User Password	Password that is associated to the Authentication user above. Note: The password is case sensitive.	<password>
   Kerberos Enabled	If the "Kerberos Enabled" checkbox is checked, SharePoint will communicate with Jive through Kerberos authentication. As SharePoint users interact with Jive web parts and content, the credentials of the current user will be delegated to Jive (without relaying a password). Note: Please see Scenario 2: Authentication With Kerberos (Credential Delegation) for specific details on what you will need to configure before enabling this checkbox.	<selected>
   Jive Domain	(Leave blank for non-Kerberos; Required for Kerberos) The domain of the service user specified further above.	jivekrb5

6. Click the Test Connection button to confirm that SharePoint is able to successfully connect to Jive.
7. Click OK, and review the Valid field to confirm the entry was added correctly and that SharePoint can successfully communicate with Jive. See also Jive Installation Test Fails in Troubleshooting Tips: SharePoint Administration. If the connection to Jive was successful, on the Manage Jive Installations page, under New Jive Installation, you will see the "Valid" column with a "True" value. If the connection was NOT successful, please take a look at the User name and Password for case sensitivity.
