You can share NTFS directories located on your Windows server or on a remote SMB/CIFS file share for access by Access Mobile Client users. When Access Mobile Client users connect they see these directories as file share volumes. You can create Data Sources that provide access to an Sync & Share server.
Access to SharePoint 2007, 2010, 2013, 365 content
Acronis Access can provide access to files residing in document libraries on SharePoint 2007, 2010, 2013 and 365 servers. An Acronis Access SharePoint data source can point to an entire SharePoint server, a specific SharePoint site or subsite, or a specific document library. These files can be opened, PDF annotated, edited, and synced, just like files that reside in traditional file server or NAS storage. Acronis Access also supports Check Out and Check In of SharePoint files.
SharePoint authentication methods supported
Acronis Access supports SharePoint servers that allow client authentication using NTLMv1, NTLMv2, Claims based and Kerberos. If your SharePoint server requires Kerberos authentication, you will need to make an update to the Active Directory computer object for the Windows server or servers that are running the Acronis Access server software. The Acronis Access Windows server needs to be given permission to present delegated credentials to your SharePoint server on behalf of you users.
Claims based authentication involves authenticating with an authentication server, obtaining an authentication token, and providing that token to the SharePoint server, rather than authenticating with the SharePoint server directly. Acronis Access supports claims based authentication to Office 365 SharePoint sites. To authenticate, the gateway server first contacts Microsoft Online to determine the location of the authentication server. This server may be hosted by Microsoft Online, or may be within the corporate network (via Active Directory Federated Services). Once authentication is complete and an binary security token is obtained, this token is sent to the SharePoint server, which returns an authentication cookie. This cookie is then provided to SharePoint in lieu of other user credentials.
Changing Permissions for Shared Files and Folders
Acronis Access uses the existing Windows user accounts and passwords. Because Acronis Access enforces Windows NTFS permissions, you should normally use Windows’ built-in tools for adjusting directory and file permissions. The standard Windows tools provide the most flexibility for setting up your security policy.
Acronis Access Data Sources that reside on another SMB/CIFS file server are accessed using an SMB/CIFS connection from the Gateway Server to the secondary server or NAS. In this case, access to the secondary server is performed in the context of the user logged into the Access Mobile Client app. In order for that user to have access to files on the secondary server, their account will need both "Windows Share Permissions" and NTFS security permissions to access those files.
Permissions to files residing on SharePoint servers are regulated in accordance to the SharePoint permissions configured on the SharePoint server. Users receive the same permissions through Acronis Access as they receive when they access SharePoint document libraries using a web browser.
