SharePoint Plugin Installation Requirements

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

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.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2010, Microsoft Office SharePoint Foundation 2010, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0
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 requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
SharePoint 2007

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).
