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, see KB 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 . |
For more information about supported versions of
Microsoft
SharePoint
, see the BEMS Compatibility Matrix.
