Configuring the Microsoft SharePoint plug-in

The Microsoft SharePoint plug-in (sharePointPlugin) adds the Add to Microsoft SharePoint action to IBM® Content Navigator so that you can add repository documents to your Microsoft SharePoint sites. The plug-in also adds the Connection to Microsoft SharePoint Site repository type so that you can connect to the destination sites for the Add to Microsoft SharePoint action.
