SharePoint Scans

Note the following requirements:

Supported Versions of SharePoint

The FSA can scan SharePoint sites based on the following versions of Microsoft SharePoint:

SharePoint Scan Requirements
FSA Remote Connector

If you want to scan Microsoft SharePoint items, either install the FSA on the SharePoint server, or deploy an FSA Remote Connector on the SharePoint server. We recommend using the FSA Remote Connector to reduce the processing required on the SharePoint server. You cannot use an FSA to scan a remote SharePoint server.

List and Site Permissions

If you intend to use the FSA to scan items on Microsoft SharePoint sites, the user that the Remote FSA Connector runs as on the SharePoint host machine must have sufficient List and Site permissions to the Microsoft SharePoint site being scanned. For example, a capture-only policy requires at least the 'View Items' and 'View Application Pages' List permissions and the 'Browse Directories' Site permission.

Load-Balanced SharePoint Environments

A load-balanced SharePoint environment has multiple front-end SharePoint web servers. However, you need to install the FSA Remote Connector on a single front-end web server.

For details, see Load-Balanced SharePoint Environments.

Remote Domain Scans

Scanning jobs in remote domains are not supported. That is, if the FSA host server is in domain A, you cannot use an FSA Remote Connector to configure a scanning job in domain B.
