24. Integration Details Components Used Business Contact Manager Lists SharePoint 2007 Sub-Site Portal Sub Site Packager Passport Authentication

25. Gotchas Passport Authentication Caching Bug Causes publish and login issues Need to clear the passport cache from the user credentials in Windows to work around Browser Forms not Supported The UI is there in the OfficeLive SharePoint UI but doesn’t do anything Need to add all the OfficeLive URLs as Local Intranet in Internet Explorer for the InfoPath forms to work properly Cross-Site Authentication OfficeLive Business Contact list now uses multi-select for the Groups tagging. Not supported in InfoPath Can’t filter on contact groups (e.g. just list employees in a dropdown) Workaround was to leverage the fact that each contact is tagged with the company name and so we added a setting to the config for your company name and then filter the employee dropdown on that

26. Hosted Services What it takes Going from hosted services to Office Live and vise versa is easy InfoPath forms can work in multiple environments with little modification Benefits to Separately Host InfoPath Solutions Deep and Rich Reporting Faster performance Document Level Permissions Can still integrate with OfficeLive lists etc.

27. Good, Better, Best
