;  The following comments apply to SharePoint Windows classic authentication.
;  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
;  For example, imagine our SharePoint endpoint is https://xyzoffice.mycompany.com/
;  The SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN would be "mycompany.com"
;  The SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN would be "xyzoffice.mycompany.com"
;  Also, the SHAREPOINT_USERNAME would be just the name, not a full email address.
;  for example, "chilkat" instead of "chilkat@mycompany.com"

;  If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
;  Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.

;  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
;  The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
;  If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
;  establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication
