    Thanks Greg.

    Actually i don't see an option for OAuth. The only ooptions for authentication method I see are : Anonymous, Windows and Basic. 

    Am I looking at something wrong? 


    Thanks

        I am using Web version of sharepoint....so Sharepoint Online.

         

        I am not sure what connector are you referring to....I am not using any connector as far as i know.
