Authentication Scenarios

Jive Connects for Microsoft SharePoint provides tight integration between SharePoint and Jive. It takes SharePoint’s strengths as a content repository with complex workflows and document management and couples it with Jive’s social networking capability, intuitive interface, and high adoption rate. One of the major integration components is the ability to seamlessly authenticate a user's credentials and to properly authorize access based on each product's security "trimming" capability. Security "trimming" means to only show a user what they have the abiltity to see and/or interact with.

This section focuses on authentication scenarios between Jive and SharePoint. Each scenario represents a real configuration used to demonstrate or test Jive and SharePoint integration.
