Single Sign-on is working fine when accessing SharePoint in a web browser Web or or via the SOAP/REST API even with HTTPCaller.

It would be nice to be able to use Single Sign-On authentication in SharePoint List reader writer, too. I'm OK with the APIs but it takes more time than a List reader...

This idea has been implemented in FME 2020.0--the SharePoint List Reader/Writer now supports SAML and ADFS authentication via OAuth 2.0! This is in addition to the existing support for Kerberos and NTLM authentication methods with this format.

Users from organizations using SAML or ADFS with SharePoint Online should create an OAuth 2.0 Web Service definition using the Microsoft SharePoint Online template. This template can be found under Tools > FME Options > Web Connections > Manage Services.

Users need to create a copy of the template and modify it according to the web service setup instructions section of the template. This is an important step--the template will not work as-is and requires the user to make in the required changes.

 

Note: the Web Service definition does not work with on-premise SharePoint.

Access the SharePoint Online Web Service definition template with steps 1, 2, and 3.

Create a copy of the template using steps 4 & 5.

Modify the template copy to access the desired SharePoint service using instructions found in step 6.
