1.5 Managing Data Sources
You can share NTFS directories located on your Windows server or on a remote SMB/CIFS file share
for access by Access Mobile Client users. When Access Mobile Client users connect they see these
directories as file share volumes. You can create Data Sources that provide access to an Sync & Share
server.
Access to SharePoint 2007, 2010, 2013, 365 content
Acronis Access can provide access to files residing in document libraries on SharePoint 2007, 2010,
2013 and 365 servers. An Acronis Access SharePoint data source can point to an entire SharePoint
server, a specific SharePoint site or subsite, or a specific document library. These files can be opened,
PDF annotated, edited, and synced, just like files that reside in traditional file server or NAS storage.
Acronis Access also supports Check Out and Check In of SharePoint files.
SharePoint authentication methods supported
Acronis Access supports SharePoint servers that allow client authentication using NTLMv1, NTLMv2,
Claims based and Kerberos. If your SharePoint server requires Kerberos authentication, you will need
to make an update to the Active Directory computer object for the Windows server or servers that
are running the Acronis Access server software. The Acronis Access Windows server needs to be
given permission to present delegated credentials to your SharePoint server on behalf of you users.
Claims based authentication involves authenticating with an authentication server, obtaining an
authentication token, and providing that token to the SharePoint server, rather than authenticating
with the SharePoint server directly. Acronis Access supports claims based authentication to Office
365 SharePoint sites. To authenticate, the gateway server first contacts Microsoft Online to
determine the location of the authentication server. This server may be hosted by Microsoft Online,
or may be within the corporate network (via Active Directory Federated Services). Once
authentication is complete and an binary security token is obtained, this token is sent to the
SharePoint server, which returns an authentication cookie. This cookie is then provided to
SharePoint in lieu of other user credentials.
