Use Kerberos for SharePoint Authentication - If your SharePoint server requires Kerberos
authentication, you should enable this setting. You will also need to make an update to the
Active Directory computer object for the Windows server or servers that are running the
Gateway 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. Enabling the
Acronis Access Windows server to perform Kerberos Delegation:
1. In Active Directory Users and Computers, locate the Windows server or servers that you

have the Gateway Server installed on. They are commonly in the Computers folder.

2. Open the Properties window for the Windows server and select the Delegation tab.
3. Select Trust this computer for delegation to specified services only
4. Select Use any authentication protocol, this is required for negotiation with the SharePoint

server.

5. You must now add any SharePoint servers that you would like your users to be able to access

using Acronis Access . If your SharePoint implementation consists of multiple load balanced
nodes, you will need to add each SharePoint/Windows node to this list of permitted
computers. Click Add... to search for these Windows computers in AD and add them. For
each, you will need to select the "http" service type only.

Note: Please allow 15 to 20 minutes for these change to propagate through AD and be applied before
testing client connectivity. They will not take effect immediately.

Gateway Server.

Use user principal name (UPN) for authentication with SharePoint Servers - When enabled,
users will authenticate to SharePoint servers via their user principal name (e.g.
[email protected]), otherwise they will authenticate with domain/username (e.g.
glilabs/hristo).

3.5 Managing Data Sources

You can share NTFS directories located on your Windows server or on a remote SMB/CIFS file share
for access by Acronis Access users. When Acronis Access mobile users connect, they see these Data
Sources as folders. You can create Data Sources that provide access to an Sync & Share server.

Note: With Acronis Access, you can have a total of 3 Data Sources located on remote locations. These locations
include SharePoint sites, SharePoint libraries and SMB/CIFS shares.
