REST API - Authentication

Is the Sharepoint API call on the same domain as the F5 login? If it's not, then the session cookie you should get from the initial F5 login will not be sent with the REST api call and the F5 won't know there's a valid session.

Thanks for the response.

Currently the domains do not match. Can I access the session from the cookie and send this over? Could you let me know the name of the cookie that stores the session?

See SOL15387 for information on the APM cookies.

You've got few options to get it working though.

You could follow this article to handle sharing access cookies (or use the multi-domain authentication feature in APM (helpful information here)).

Another option would be to set up a simple access policy for the sharepoint piece and use SAML auth to authenticate against your SAML IdP policy.

There may be other options, but these I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks a lot Michael ..

Hi Michael,

I am not able to access any of the cookies in Salesforce APEX Controller.

Could I configure Salesforce as the IDP and SharePoint as the Service provider? Are there any settings on f5 to make this connnection work without further authentication?

Basically we want to User credential and not a Service Account credential to access the search.

Thanks,

Raghu
