I need to read-up on SharePoint security. Can anyone recommend where to start? The areas I need to look into are:
- Security of remote clients which use SharePoint web services (SOAP or RESTful).
- Security of data sitting on SharePoint.
- Authentication of users.
- User permissions.
At the moment, I’m unsure of where to start or even what to Google. I guess a check-list of things to read up on would great.
MSDN and technet are very good resources. Search both for “SharePoint Security” and you will find all kinds of things down different tracks like Developer, ITPro.
Try this for a starting point: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ee518672
