SharePoint Installation Requirements

The Jive SharePoint Connector requires the following items to be configured prior to installation.

Important: If you plan to configure Jive to use Active Directory and Kerberos-authentication, please review the Kerberos-specific requirements in Jive Installation Requirements.

Note: Anonymous access to SharePoint should not be allowed for any site collection where the Jive Web Parts feature is activated. Anonymous users will be prompted to log in as they use pages in the site collection.

Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007
The value added with MOSS 2007 regarding Jive Connects for Microsoft SharePoint is that the Jive Federated Search web part can be placed on a MOSS search results page so that SharePoint search results can be shown side-by-side with Jive search results.
Note: These results are not intermixed/inline.
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
SharePoint 2010
- SharePoint 2010 requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
SharePoint 2007
- This comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 and is required for any web server with Windows Server 2008 R1 (it is a prerequisite for the server when turning the web feature on within the operating system).
- This does not come with earlier versions of Windows Server 2008 or any version of Windows Server 2003 (and will need to be installed for Jive integration).

To search SharePoint content from Jive:
- Windows Domain Controller (separate server) and SharePoint configured to be a member of the respective domain.
- To perform credential delegation calls from Jive to SharePoint (using the search.svc), you must use the appropriate search configuration (see Configuring Search Results Security Trimming) and you must use domain accounts for both the SharePoint application pool owner accounts (the account authenticating to the web service) and the impersonation account (the SharePoint user).
