Starting in the 8.1 Enterprise Search release, we have a new Elastic [SharePoint Server connector package](https://github.com/elastic/enterprise-search-sharepoint-server-connector) available for beta. This connector package extends the existing Workplace Search [content source catalog](https://www.elastic.co/workplace-search/content-sources), with a fully customizable connector package. We on the product team would love your feedback and hear how you're customizing your connector package. Get started with the connector package here: [SharePoint Server connector package | Workplace Search Guide [8.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/8.2/sharepoint-server.html) ---

For anyone looking to do custom connector package development or working with the network drives connector, I highly recommend this blog post that has been published as a guide!

Hi. We've started experimenting with this connector for our on-premises implementation of SharePoint 2019. I don't see anywhere in the documentation for the configuration file for the connector a way to reference a CA pem file so that certificates can be validated. My make test\_connectivity is failing with an ssl verification error: `raise SSLError(e, request=request) requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='sharepoint-host.bogus', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: ///sites/ABC/_api/web/webs?&$skip=0&$top=5000 (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:897)'),))` Is there a way to either specify the location of the CA file or tell the connector to NOT validate certs? Thanks! ---

Hey Tony, great question, I'm going to ping our developers to give you a more detailed answer on this one. Stay tuned. ---

@TonyWRobinson Hey there, the workaround that you can do is to modify the connector by adding these parameters to the requests.get() method: `verfiy = False` or `verify = '/path / to / certfile'` in [sharepoint\_client.py](https://github.com/elastic/enterprise-search-sharepoint-server-connector/blob/fbe063a0451bf885c25f78aa7e18b2e269e517d8/ees_sharepoint/sharepoint_client.py#L52) file. ---

Cool. I have to re-make after this is done, right? Or is this picked up at runtime? ---

@TonyWRobinson you would need to re-make, by using command 'make install\_package / make install\_locally' ---

@TonyWRobinson our team is working on making this easier in the connector package. We've filed an issue: [allow custom certificates · Issue #57 · elastic/enterprise-search-sharepoint-server-connector · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/enterprise-search-sharepoint-server-connector/issues/57) that you can subscribe to updates and check to see when it's been closed. ---
