SharePoint
The SharePoint connector provides SQL access to SharePoint services and servers.
Supported versions
This connector supports Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and above, and SharePoint Online.
Before you begin
Before using the SharePoint connector, do the following tasks:
- In your Google Cloud project:
- Ensure that network connectivity is set up. For information about network patterns, see Network connectivity.
- Grant the roles/connectors.admin IAM role to the user configuring the connector.
- Grant the following IAM roles to the service account that you want to use for the connector:
roles/secretmanager.viewer
roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor
A service account is a special type of Google account intended to represent a non-human user that needs to authenticate and be authorized to access data in Google APIs. If you don't have a service account, you must create a service account. For more information, see Creating a service account.
- Enable the following services:
secretmanager.googleapis.com
(Secret Manager API)connectors.googleapis.com
(Connectors API)
To understand how to enable services, see Enabling services.
If these services or permissions have not been enabled for your project previously, you are prompted to enable them when configuring the connector.
Configure the connector
Configuring the connector requires you to create a connection to your data source (backend system). A connection is specific to a data source. It means that if you have many data sources, you must create a separate connection for each data source. To create a connection, do the following steps:
- In the Cloud console, go to the Integration Connectors > Connections page and then select or create a Google Cloud project.
- Click + Create new to open the Create Connection page.
- In the Location section, choose the location for the connection.

- Region: Select a location from the drop-down list.
- In the Connection Details section, complete the following:
- Connector: Select SharePoint from the drop down list of available Connectors.
- Connector version: Select the Connector version from the drop down list of available versions.
- In the Connection Name field, enter a name for the Connection instance.
Connection names must meet the following criteria:
- Connection names can use letters, numbers, or hyphens.
- Letters must be lower-case.
- Connection names must begin with a letter and end with a letter or number.
- Connection names cannot exceed 49 characters.
- Optionally, enter a Description for the connection instance.
- Optionally, enable Cloud logging,
and then select a log level. By default, the log level is set to
Error
. - Service Account: Select a service account that has the required roles.

- Minimum number of nodes: Enter the minimum number of connection nodes.
- Maximum number of nodes: Enter the maximum number of connection nodes.
A node is a unit (or replica) of a connection that processes transactions. More nodes are required to process more transactions for a connection and conversely, fewer nodes are required to process fewer transactions. To understand how the nodes affect your connector pricing, see Pricing for connection nodes. If you don't enter any values, by default the minimum nodes are set to 2 (for better availability) and the maximum nodes are set to 50.
- Optionally, click + Add label to add a label to the Connection in the form of a key/value pair.
- Click Next.
- In the Destinations section, enter details of the remote host (backend system) you want to connect to.
- Destination Type: Select a Destination Type. For example, host address is
https://xxxxx.sharepoint.com
.- Select Host address from the list to specify the hostname or IP address of the destination.
- If you want to establish a private connection to your backend systems, select Endpoint attachment from the list, and then select the required endpoint attachment from the Endpoint Attachment list.
If you want to establish a public connection to your backend systems with additional security, you can consider configuring static outbound IP addresses for your connections, and then configure your firewall rules to allowlist only the specific static IP addresses.

- Upload the certificate to Azure portal.
- Obtain a private key.
- Complete the setup.
- Specify the OAuth 2.0 JWT bearer credentials in Google Cloud.
To enable JWT bearer authentication type, you need to create a certificate, upload it to Azure portal, and then obtain a private key.
Create a certificate
- Create an empty folder on your computer.
- Create a text file in the folder.
- Copy the PowerShell script from the Granting access via Azure AD App-Only page and paste it into the text file.
- Rename the text file to the following name:
Create-SelfSignedCertificate.ps1
. - Run Windows PowerShell in the folder.
- Go to the directory which contains the text file.
- Copy the following command:
.\Create-SelfSignedCertificate.ps1 -CommonName "CERTIFICATE_NAME" -StartDate 2022-09-25 -EndDate 2023-10-25
Enter a unique name for CERTIFICATE_NAME. Change the StartDate to the current date and the EndDate to a date of your choice.
- Paste the copied command with your changes to Windows PowerShell and then press Enter.
Windows PowerShell prompts to Enter the password to protect the Private Key. Make sure to save the password for later use.
Windows PowerShell creates two files:
MyCertificate.pfx
andMyCertificate.cer
.
Upload the certificate to Azure portal

- Go to Manifest, find KeyCredentials and then copy the customKeyIdentifier as the Thumbprint. You will use this later. You've now registered the app and linked the certificate.
Obtain a private key
You can obtain a private key by converting the PFX file to a PEM file using OpenSSL.
- From the command prompt, go to the folder with your PFX file and run the following command:
openssl pkcs12 -in MyCertificate.pfx -out MyCertificate.pem -nodes
- Enter the PFX password which you used in the certificate creation process.
- Open the PEM file in a text editor and copy the following section of the private key:
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
Complete the setup
- Copy the Client ID and Tenant ID from the newly registered app in the Azure portal.
- Sign in with SharePoint List Service Principal authentication with the following credentials:
- Client ID
- Tenant ID
- Private key
- Thumbprint (private key password)

Entities, operations, and actions
All the Integration Connectors provide a layer of abstraction for the objects of the connected application. You can access an application's objects only through this abstraction. The abstraction is exposed to you as entities, operations, and actions.
- Entity: An entity can be thought of as an object, or a collection of properties, in the
connected application or service. The definition of an entity differs from a connector to a
connector. For example, in a database connector, tables are the entities, in a
file server connector, folders are the entities, and in a messaging system connector,
queues are the entities.
However, it is possible that a connector doesn't support or have any entities, in which case the
Entities
list will be empty. - Operation: An operation is the activity that you can perform on an entity. You can perform
any of the following operations on an entity:
Selecting an entity from the available list, generates a list of operations available for the entity. For a detailed description of the operations, see the Connectors task's entity operations. However, if a connector doesn't support any of the entity operations, such unsupported operations aren't listed in the
Operations
list. - Action: An action is a first class function that is made available to the integration
through the connector interface. An action lets you make changes to an entity or entities, and
vary from connector to connector. Normally, an action will have some input parameters, and an output
parameter. However, it is possible
that a connector doesn't support any action, in which case the
Actions
list will be empty.
