Startup Account for the Presto Server With Presto Add-On for SharePoint
There is a known issue with authentication for SharePoint users working with Presto Add-On for SharePoint when both the Presto Server and SharePoint use the same LDAP Directory for authentication. When users work in Presto Hub to register SharePoint lists, use SharePoint lists or searches in mashups or publish apps to SharePoint, the credentials for the user account that started Presto Server is used initially for authentication and authorization rather than the credentials of the current user or the configured SharePoint connection.
To work around this issue, you must use a user account that has been defined specifically to start up the Presto Server in this context. You have two options to create this special startup account:
Create a user account on the host for the
Presto Server that does not exist in your LDAP Directory.
Add a user to your LDAP Directory but do
not grant this user permissions to work in
SharePoint.
