Enable SharePoint Access from the Internet

CA Open Space search integrates with Microsoft SharePoint to include search results from your SharePoint server. If your organization has Microsoft SharePoint (that is implemented within your Intranet), integration with CA Open Space requires some additional configuration. This configuration requires a SharePoint server that can be accessed from the Internet. The SharePoint server can either be your primary application server, if it is accessible from the Internet, or a secondary server could be deployed in the DMZ.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the SharePoint Central Administration Site.
2. Select the Operations tab.
3. Under Global Configuration, click Alternate access mappings.
4. Click Add Internal URL.
5. Select the Alternate access mappings collection for the SharePoint site that you want to connect to CA Open Space.
6. Add all CA Open Space server hostname URLs.

   Example: http://OpenSpace_Server_Hostname/

   Once you add the hostnames to the SharePoint Alternate access mappings, you can integrate CA Open Space with your SharePoint instance.
