Vyapin\u2019s DocKIT Migrator<\/strong><\/a> is a powerful migration tool that offers extensive features to migrate contents from file shares along with metadata, permissions to either on-premise SharePoint or SharePoint Online in Office 365.<\/p>\n

The newly released version of DocKIT v7.0 supports SharePoint Online configured with different authentication mechanisms. With this version, you can migrate contents to SharePoint Online sites using cloud and federated identities.<\/p>\n

If you are using cloud identity to connect to SharePoint site, select \u2018Use the following credential to connect to SharePoint<\/strong>\u2019 option under SharePoint user credentials. Then specify the username and password in the respective text boxes. Select \u2018Use federated authentication (Web Single Sign-on)<\/strong>\u2019 option under SharePoint user credentials to connect to on-premise \/ Office 365\u2019s SharePoint site configured with ADFS federated authentication (Web Single Sign-on).

  18. \n

    Provide username and password in the respective text boxes and click \u2018Sign in\u2019 button to proceed.<\/p>\n

    For Schedule option, DocKIT enables you to setup the migration task using cookie-based persistent connection and shared user credentials technique. DocKIT expects the user performing the migration to ensure that a persistent connection is available using the Web Single Sign-on Dashboard<\/strong> tool (Tools -> Web SSO Dashboard menu) that is built into the application. When creating a scheduled migration task, you can use the Web Single Sign-on Dashboard<\/strong> to check the connection status. You can also connect to a SharePoint site manually before the task executes automatically at the prescribed date\/time.<\/p>\n

    To check the connection status in DocKIT Task Wizard, Click to check session status hyperlink<\/u><\/strong> in the screen. The Web Single Sign-on Dashboard screen will appear as shown in Figure #11.<\/p>\n
