Modify Authentication Settings

Solution: Use the Set-SPInfoPathFormsService cmdlet with the appropriate parameters.

Several data authentication options either allow or prohibit certain types of data connectivity, as follows:

• RequireSslForDataConnections: Set this option to true to require SSL encryption when your form uses HTTP authentication (such as when accessing a web service).

• AllowEmbeddedSqlForDataConnection: Set this option to true if you have data connection files that contain SQL database connection information, including the username and password.

• AllowUdcAuthenticationForDataConnections: Set this option to true to allow custom forms to access data sources through data connection files.

• AllowUserFormCrossDomainDataConnections: Select this option if your form needs to access data sources on a different domain than SharePoint.

To configure these settings, use the Set-SPInfoPathFormsService cmdlet with the desired parameters and settings, as shown in Listing 12.3.
