Verifying the SharePoint Connector Installation

Verifying Application Configuration

After the configuration of one of the following applications is complete, verify it was properly configured by running the Test Connection task.

The Test Connection will run and validate a series of validations to see if the application was configured correctly.

Common SharePoint Validations

The following is a list of common validations that run when the test connection is run with a SharePoint application.

  • Server responsiveness

  • Verifying there is a connection with the SharePoint configuration database

  • Verifying user permissions to the SharePoint configuration database

  • Verifying connection to the SharePoint content databases

  • Verifying user permissions to the SharePoint content databases

  • Verifying the SharePoint content databases exist

  • Checking if there is access to the Activity Monitoring log paths

  • Verifying connection to the IIS management site

  • Verifying access to the registry on the SharePoint servers

Installed Services

Verify that the services installed for the connector are available and active. Using windows Service manager, or other tool, look for the File Access Manager services, and see that they are running.

for example:

  • File Access Manager Central Activity Monitor - <Service Name>

  • File Access Manager Central Permissions Collection - <Service Name>

  • File Access Manager Central Data Classification - <Service Name>

Log Files

Check the log files listed below for errors

  • “%SAILPOINT_HOME_LOGS%\ FilesMiniFilter_ <Application_Name>.log"

  • “%SAILPOINT_HOME_LOGS%\PermissionCollection_<Service_Name>.log"

  • “%SAILPOINT_HOME_LOGS%\DataClassification_<Service_Name>.log"

  • “%SAILPOINT_HOME_LOGS%\WSSBAM-<Application_Name>.log"

Monitored Activities

  1. Simulate activities on SharePoint.

  2. Wait a minute (approximately).

  3. Verify that the activities display in the File Access Manager website under

    Forensics > Activities

Permissions Collection

  1. Run the Crawler and Permissions Collector tasks (Settings > Task Management > Scheduled Tasks)

  2. Verify that:

    • The tasks completed successfully

    • Business resources were created in the resource explorer (Admin > Applications > [application column] > Manage Resources)

    • Permissions display in the Permission Forensics page (Forensics > Permissions)
