Connecting to a SharePoint datasource

[rminaker]

Hi there,

I'm having trouble connecting to SharePoint. I've followed all the steps (it seems like this should be easy), but I can't connect.

I'm using active directory authentication, but my URL is secure (https) - maybe this has something to do with it? This is the error that I get:

"There was a problem establishing the secure HTTPS connection. In case the server you are trying to connec tto uses self-signed certificates..."

This server is not using certificates. Any ideas as to what I need to do?

Thanks,

R.

Hi,

HTTPS works by design with at least a server side certificate that's used for encryption.
If the certificate is self signed or invalid, you will receive that error message.

To make Oxygen XML Editor accept a certificate even if it is invalid, go to the Options > Preferences > Network Connection Settings > HTTP(S)/WebDAV preferences page and enable the Automatically accept a security certificate, even if invalid option.

Regards,
Adrian

Adrian,

I cannot believe it was this easy! There's a lot to be said for asking questions first! Thanks so much - it's working great!
