Document Connection- Cannot connect to sharepoint site

W

William Smith [MVP]

Im trying to connect but get an error "The connection failed"

I have tried both user/pass, basic auth, and kerberos.

Could it be the port?

The url takes the form:
<http://oursharepointserver.outdomain.org:5280/sitename/default.aspx>

Shorten the URL to the site address alone. Try
<http://oursharepointserver.outdomain.org:5280/sitename/>

Hope this helps!

I am having the same problem of not being able to connect to my sharepoint server through Document Connection. For the address, user name, and passworld, I typed into Document Connection exactly what I do when I access my sharepoint server through web access. Yet, I am prompted with Connection Failed in Document Connection when I can log in through web access just fine. Any suggestions?

I am having the same problems. Document Connection does not work with either SP2 nor with MOSS3.

Here is the dump of the last communication to the MOSS 3 server:

I've been wondering if others had this problem.

Same here. I'm running SP Services version 3 on an alternative port and having the same issues. Connection Failed. Log in is OK via browser.

One thing I noted is that when I attempt a connect via Document Connection there is nothing in the server logs. But something must be going on between the app and the server because it says "you do not have permission to connect" when I try a bogus ID.

We're using 3.0.

Thanks,

Others here have reported that this same problem is caused by SharePoint
version. Document Connection requires SharePoint Services 3.0. What
version is your server running?

I am able to connect to http, but https sites are not working. Can someone verify SSL is an option.
Thx

Is it possible to create a second binding for the SharePoint server to the
default port 80?
I know this may not be feasible for a number of reasons, but if possible it
might be worth a try to help isolate the issue.

I'm going to join in because we're seeing exactly the same problem in our office - and we are running on port 80.

Here is some information:
- Our server is Windows Small Business Server 2008 (x64 version)
- It is running SharePoint Services 3.0
- To access SharePoint from a browser we can use <http://companyweb> BUT other URLs such as <http://companyweb.name.local> OR <http://server> (the actual hostname of the server) do not work... they bring up the standard IIS7 homepage
- Microsoft Document Connection shows the error message "The connection failed." when we try to connect to <http://companyweb>
- It appears that Document Connection is able to connect to Sharepoint because "The connection failed." is only shown when we type the correct password. If we use an invalid username or password we get the message "You do not have permission to connect." But we cannot get past the "The connection failed." message to actually use Document Connection

Just in case it helps, here is a dump of the HTTP traffic during a failed login using Microsoft Document Connection. "The connection failed." is displayed after this.

Note that I have placed the NTLM authentication lines with [...] for security reasons... the rest is unaltered.
