Kaltura Video Extension for SharePoint - Modern Experience Installation Guide

This guide will walk you through the process of Installing & Configuring KAF support for Sharepoint Modern Experience.

You will need:

• A Sharepoint admin account 
• A KAF instance of type “SharepointO365”.

A. Create the app as a Sharepoint Admin

1. Registering the app

   1. Go to your Sharepoint app registration endpoint: https://{sharepoint-tenant-prefix}.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/AppRegNew.aspx.

      The SharePoint tenant prefix is the text that is before "sharepoint.com" in the URL. For example, in the SharePoint URL "https://kaltura.sharepoint.com," the tenant prefix is "kaltura."

      
      

      1. You will see a form that looks similar to this: 
   2. Click the Generate button in both the Client Id and Client Secret fields.
   3.  In the Title field, type in any name you would like to call the app.
      For example: KalturaSharePoint, or KalturaSharePointApp, etc.
   4. In the App Domain field, type in your KAF instance "hostname."
      For example, if your KAF instance URL is https://1234567-3.kaf.kaltura.com, then type in 1234567-3.kaf.kaltura.com.
   5. In the Redirect URI field, type in the same value as in step d, but with https:// in the beginning.
      For example, https://1234567-3.kaf.kaltura.com.
   6. Click Create.
      You will be presented with the details that you just submitted.

      Note: make sure to copy and securely save the Client Secret somewhere. You will not be able to retrieve it through SharePoint’s user interface anymore.

2. Granting permissions to the app

   1. Go to the endpoint: https://{sharepoint-tenant-prefix}.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/AppInv.aspx.
   2. In the App Id field, type in the Client Id of the app that we generated in the previous section. 
   3. Click Lookup.
      The application details (except the secret) should be populated.
   4. In the Permission Request XML field, type in:
      <AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="false">   
               <AppPermissionRequest Right="FullControl" Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection"/>
               <AppPermissionRequest Right="FullControl" Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection/web"/
               <AppPermissionRequest Right="Manage" Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant"/
               <AppPermissionRequest Right="Manage" Scope="http://sharepoint/social/tenant"/>
      </AppPermissionRequests>
   5. Click Create.
      You will be presented with a page that asks you whether you trust the application. 
   6. Click Trust It.

3. Getting the Sharepoint tenant id

   1. Go to https://{sharepoint-tenant-prefix}.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/AppPrincipals.aspx.
      You will see a table with the list of apps you have registered. 
   2. Locate the app that you just registered and granted permissions. 
   3. In the App Identifier column of your app, copy the value after the @ sign.
      Example: 

B. Generate the app as a KAF Admin

2. Go to the Sharepoint module configuration.
