Hello,

I am trying to establish Designer connection to sharepoint site. I have added correct site URL, but when I try to test connection using sharepoint login username and password it shows me a Failed error message.

Error Message: 

Connection to SharePoint using Web Services:
Unable to connect to 'https://username.sharepoint.com/teams/sitename' using SharePoint Web Services due to the following error:

The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden.

Can someone guide me how I can access the SharePoint site using Quest Designer?

Thank You

    Hi! Have you configured your target SharePoint site in the Options - SharePoint?
    You need to do this to specify the authentication type. The default will be "Classic", which only works with on-prem SharePoint!

    For testing, "Forms based" is usually the easiest authentication type to use.
    Pro production, we recommend "SingleSignOn/OAutch" - however this requires a Global Admin to run it at least once and grant Application Permissions.
    "Office 365 Authentication" is also possible, but has some slight disadvantages in comparison to SSO/OAuth. Also it requires the MS Identity Foundation to be Installed / Enabled on the Windows OS.

    thank you Peter for the reply.

    This is the first time I am doing Notes Migration. I would really appreciate if you can provide me with little bit more info on the steps.

    Maybe a short web session would be helpful? Can you write me a short email to peter.mendelsohn(at)quest.com with your time zone and availability (I have some open time today, then pretty much booked until next Thursday)?
    If possible, please cc: your Quest sales contact - I am a presales engineer, very happy to help - but I need to attach this to a sales case.

    I did a little bit more research on the steps you provided me before and I was able to connect to SharePoint.

    Thank You Peter
