BDC step by step

Body:

You've probably heard about BDC feature in MOSS 2007 Enterprise Edition, but you have never tried it in practice. There is good walkthrough that describes everything you need to setup the BDC example.

I have only couple things to add:

  • If you don't manage to connect to BDC data in site collection, but you are able to connect to data via BDC template page, go to Permissions in BDC application and click "Copy Permissions to descendants"
  • If you have configured Sharepoint via NTLM instead Kerberos, you need to modify Application Definition File in section

    <Property Name="AuthenticationMode" Type="Microsoft.Office.Server.ApplicationRegistry.SystemSpecific.Db.DbAuthenticationMode">
    PassThrough
    </Property>


    Instead of "PassThrough" you should use "RevertToSelf"
