The scenario is this:
iPads (iOS 5) running Share Plus ProSharePoint 2010 serverMicrosoft Forefront publishing the SharePoint site
The Forefront rule for the SharePoint site is configured to allow the client to authenticate directly ('No delegation, but client may authenticate directly'), and the Listener is configured to use 'HTML Form Authentication'.
I can access the SharePoint site using Safari. It takes me to a Forefront authentication page:
and when I have authenticated it lets me in to the SharePoint site. Success.
If I configure SharePlus Pro to use Windows Authentication or Forms Based authentication I get a popup 'Authentication Required' prompt. I enter my credentials, click Continue, wait a second or two and the popup reappears. And so on ad infintum.
If I configure SharePlus Pro to use Web Login or Office 365 authentication I get the Forefront screen as shown above. I enter my credentials and get an Authentication Error 'The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -999.)'
I've spent a couple of days unsuccessfully trying to get the right combinations of SharePoint, TMG and SharePlus.
If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
Hi lraymond,
Thank you for posting at IG forums!
What you mentionn is a known issue in which we are diligently working to find a fix. Your issue is related to this discussion and has to do with a limitation in the web view we use for the web login authentication mechanism. I would have to check with the development team if SharePlus is supposed to authenticate against TMG with Windows or Forms as well.
I'm sorry we can't provide you with a solution right now though I'll post here as soon as we come up with a fix.
Best regards,

I am having the same issue. Our company authenticates first against TMG and then permits access to our SharePoint site. I am looking forward to being able to use SharePlus soon on my BB Playbook!
Hi potterrb,
Please keep in mind that this thread is in the SharePlus for iOS section of the forum. Forefront TMG is not supported in SharePlus for Playbook, I'm afraid.

We had this same issue, I don't think it is supported in SharePlus.
We got it working using another 3rd party tool called Colligo.

Colligo is a good tool as well though they don't have offline edit capabilities. As explained in a revious post we're working on better supporting this. An improved way of habdling authentication against ForeFront will be available in the upcoming release of SharePlus (late March).
