Configuring the Farm For Jive

You can use the Farm Configuration for Jive page in Central Administration to configure settings that impact the entire Farm as it is integrated with Jive.

Locate the Jive Administration section:
In SharePoint 2007
- Central Administration > Operations > Jive Administration.
In SharePoint 2010

Click Farm Configuration for Jive.

On the Farm Configuration for Jive page, you can configure the following Jive fields.

Farm Configuration for Jive Fields
Field Name	Field Description
Impersonation	Allowed: The preferred choice. Required for out-of-the-box communication from Jive to SharePoint. Prevented Except for Activity Streams: Prevents all impersonation requests except for activity streams. This is currently reserved for custom integrations. Prevented: Prevents any impersonation requests. Useful only if Jive is not accessing SharePoint. This will limit the SharePoint Connector features to: SharePoint Web Parts User Popups Copy to Jive (either through the Document Menu Item or the Workflow)
Valid Incoming IP Addresses for Impersonation	Limit communication from Jive servers originating from one or more IP addresses. Applicable to non-Kerberos authentication only. Note: If load balancers are used in front of SharePoint web front ends, restricting the incoming IP addresses is not beneficial because the load balancer IP addresses must be entered into this field. Use the Valid Incoming Service Accounts for Impersonation field (below) to help prevent unauthorized impersonation.
Valid Incoming Service Accounts for Impersonation	Limit communication from Jive servers using the listed service user accounts.
Browser Caching	Improves the user experience by limiting the need to retrieve content from SharePoint that rarely changes.
User Popup	Individual toggle used to turn On/Off User Popups (outside of the Jive web parts) for the entire SharePoint Farm. This feature is only available if this option is checked and the Jive Web Parts feature is activated within the current site collection.
Document Menu Items	Individual toggle used to turn On/Off Jive-specific document context menus (enable/disable socialization, copy to Jive) for the entire SharePoint Farm. This feature is only available if this option is checked and the Jive Web Parts feature is activated within the current site collection.
Jive Status	Individual toggle used to turn On/Off Jive socialization status for document libraries in the entire SharePoint Farm. This feature is only available if this option is checked and the Jive Web Parts feature is activated within the current site collection.
Event Logging	Used to log error and other trace messages to the SharePoint ULS logs.
Version Information	Version details for the individual components of the Jive for SharePoint

When you've finished configuring, click OK.
