Installation and Configuration
Microsoft Project Connector

Introduction

Using the Microsoft Project Connector, projects from Microsoft Project can be indexed in addition to your SharePoint On-Premise instance.

Configuring Mindbreeze

Open Mindbreeze Management Center in the browser to start the configuration.

Configuring the index

This connector should be used in combination with the Microsoft SharePoint Connector and should therefore be created in the same index. If you have already created the index for the SharePoint Connector, you can skip this step.

In the Indices tab, add a new index using the +Add Index button. Select the desired Index Node and Client Service and specify the Microsoft Project data source in the Data Source field. Then confirm your entries with the Apply button.

Creating the Crawling Credential

To enable the crawling of Microsoft Project, you first need a crawling user with "Full Read Permissions". You must then create this in the Network tab under the "Credentials" area by clicking on the "Add Credential" button.

After that, the Microsoft Project PWA URL needs to be set as an endpoint for this user.

Configuring the Datasource

Now configure the data source.
