Configuring Microsoft Sharepoint

If you want to configure SharePoint to enable French as your language of choice so it works with the Sparkrock solution in French, see Configuring SharePoint for the French Language.

7. Click Test All to test the connection strings, and then click Save All.
8. Click Manage Farm Features.
9. Locate Altus Employee Portal Membership Providers and then click Activate.
   This enables the application at the SharePoint-level.
