Reading remote files from network share and or sharepoint

CloverDX Platform
1

Hi,

I am relatively new to CloverETL (about 8 months in).

I am using it in an environment that uses Active Directory + Kerberos for authentication, and trying to read data from a sharepoint directory and/or a windows network directory.

Is there a way to use components like the XLSDataReader to read remote files and use my LDAP credentials instead of an input username/password?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi cscaudill,

Are you referring to “single sign on” technology?

I can’t see difference (from Clover point of view) between sending username/password and sending LDAP username/password. Typically LDAP integration is solved in the way that technology (samba, ftp, email, …) is connected to the LDAP and checks incoming credentials against it.

I hope this helps.

Hi - you can read remote files. Check this link for the various options using the universal data reader. (http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/ … aders.html)
