Storage services

BEMS
is installed with support for several storage service providers, including File Share,
Microsoft SharePoint
,
Microsoft SharePoint Online
, and
Box
.
You can also add a new storage service if you need to use a service that is not displayed, or your environment requires customized storage service settings. The following table lists the available storage providers and when they should be used.
Storage provider
Description
Box
By default,
BEMS
allows corporate box.com cloud storage users to view the
Box
repositories using
BlackBerry Work
Docs
. If you delete the predefined
Box
storage, the hidden authentication parameters are also removed. For more information about determining if you are using a non-default
Box
storage and how to re-add the default
Box
storage, visit support.blackberry.com/community to read article 48469.
CMIS
You can add storage services that utilize the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) protocol, an open standard that allows different content management systems to inter-operate over the Internet.
Note
: Only
Microsoft Active Directory
users are supported for CMIS. This requires that the content management system is connected to a
Microsoft Active Directory
for user authentication for
Docs
to support it.
FileShare
This storage provider allows
BEMS
to communicate with the FileShare server. If your environment is configured for a specific version of SMB or CIFS protocol to access a File Share,
BEMS
must be installed on a compatible
Windows
operating system. Refer to your
Microsoft
documentation for more information on compatibility.
SharePoint
If your environment uses a supported version of
Microsoft SharePoint
or
Microsoft SharePoint Online
, this storage provider allows
BEMS
to determine the appropriate storage provider to use to communicate with your version of
SharePoint
.
SharePoint
2010
Use this storage provider for
BEMS
to communicate with
Microsoft SharePoint
2010 using the SOAP protocol.
SharePoint
2013
Use this storage provider for
BEMS
to communicate with supported versions of
Microsoft SharePoint
2013 and later,
Microsoft OneDrive for Business
, and
Microsoft SharePoint Online
using the REST protocol.
For more information about supported versions of
Microsoft SharePoint
, see the BEMS Compatibility Matrix.
