Provisioning and Attestation for SharePoint (Part 1)
Since I mentioned our work on SharePoint in may (see http://www.bobbobel.com/teched-day-2-sharepoint-and-ad-groups/) I’ve had a lot of request for more details. We have come a long way in the development cycle and so I wanted to share some details about our plans for a public beta that will happen in about one month’s time.
In August we will provide a new component of Quick Connect for Base Systems named Quick Connect for Base Systems: SharePoint Integration. This integration pack will install into the ActiveRoles Server console directly rather than appearing as a traditional connector in Quick Connect so as to simplify deployment.
SharePoint Provisioning: The primary purpose of the beta will be to provide automated provisioning and maybe more importantly automated Deprovisioning of user access to specific SharePoint sites. This is accomplished through the existing ActiveRoles Server provisioning and Deprovisioning policies so you control access in the exact same way you do other Microsoft applications even if you have not used followed Microsoft best practice by using AD groups to control SharePoint access.
