ShareFile Domains and URL proxy categorisation.
Just a quick drop and run post. While working with a particularly secure environment, many facets of ShareFile’s plugins would either not work, or certain features would not work.

- yourinternalstoragezonename*
- g.sf.api.com
- secure.sf-api.com (and/or .eu)
- <yourdomain>.sf-api.com (and/or.eu)
if you want a sweeping statement, just whitelist sf-api.com and sf-api.eu.
Note, if you want full compatibility with all IE versions, also stick the domains in trusted sites.
* The external DNS name of your storage zone controller
Configuring ShareFile and SAML Walkthrough
While working with a customer recently on a sharefile implementation, I set about creating a SAML / Active Directory single sign on deployment. Configuring ADFS and SAML were complete unknowns to me so I set about documenting the process end to end for future reference.
The end result of this activity will allow you to login to sharefile using a native account (think Guest) or an active directory account (think internal user).
