Startup Account for the MashZone NextGen Server With MashZone NextGen Add-On for SharePoint
There is a known issue with authentication for SharePoint users working with MashZone NextGen Add-On for SharePoint when both the MashZone NextGen Server and SharePoint use the same LDAP Directory for authentication. When users work in MashZone NextGen 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 MashZone NextGen 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 MashZone NextGen Server in this context. You have two options to create this special startup account:
Create a user account on the host for the
MashZone NextGen 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.
