Hi guys, Read all posts about the same issue, but couldn't extract a fully working solution from any of them combined. Despite all the recommendations :(, we use and will keep using Sharepoint to manage a lot of useful information directly through native SP lists or collaborative -Excel- files; we would like to access that sort of info and integrate it in Ignition with other sources. Has anyone implemented a working solution, and would you mind sharing the details? Could it be done using the HTTP binding rather than scripting? Did you have any particular issues managing security certificates? Thanks! ---

You're going to have to use the system.net.httpClient function, and deal with whatever authentication/authorization mechanism largely yourself. In some future Ignition version we're planning to support Ignition acting as an OAuth client and exposing those tokens to scripting in some to-be-determined way, which would likely simplify things. For now, it's all handcranked.
