Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-565:
----------------------------------------
The documentation for the REST api itself looks straightforward - although the
URLs used are not always legal URLs (thanks, Microsoft!). But the big problem
seems to be authentication - you need to obtain an access token and pass it in
the Authorization header. This is apparently OAuth, which basically requires
an application to register itself with some service in the Azure cloud and get
back a context token. The context token is then supplied to SharePoint to get
back the access token (which is a kind of session token apparently).
This is a lot more complicated than most people will be able to tolerate, I
think. But there also seems to be a simpler way:

I'm not even sure what FBA stands for here, but if it is widely enabled it
could be a better option?
