Types of authentication - Examples
Windows Authentication
Windows authentication for On-Prem instances of SharePoint requires AD username, password and domain fields to be entered.
SharePoint OnLine
SharePoint Online requires you to enter the full Office365 username in the form username@domainname in the username field. User Domain is disabled since this is not required for SharePoint online.
Project Online
Project Online requires you to enter the full Office365 username in the form username@domainname in the username field. User Domain is disabled since this is not required for Project Online.
ADFS 2 and ADFS 3 accessing SharePoint Online
SharePoint Online using ADFS 2 requires you to enter the full Office365 username in the form username@domainname in the username field. User Domain is disabled since this is not required for SharePoint online.
Forms authentication
Enter the forms authentication username and password in the appropriate fields. The format of the username may be specific to your organisation and will depend on your Forms authentication implementation.
Trusted authentication
Trusted authentication uses the windows credentials of the SQList service. No credentials are required in the SQList manager. You will need to go into the SQList Service in Windows Services console on the workstation or server you have installed SQList on to set the credentials for this service.
