User Profile Sync not working (how to change CA Url from SSL to http?)

$
0
0

Hi,

somehow UPA sync ceased to work.

I want to use the new  "Active Directory Import" Feature.

Now i recreated the UPA and Sync connection several times, triple checked permissions, web app asssoc., recreated proxy but i still see this Error:

'DirSync Import failed .....  Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException: No User Profile Application available to service the request'

Now I changed CA Url (reason see quotation below) - however UPA Sync still uses the old SSL link. How can i find and change this reference?

CreateProfileImportExportId: Could not InitializeProfileImportExportProcess for end point 'direct://CA.mycom.com:4443/_vti_bin/profileimportexportservice.asmx?ApplicationID=...'

I changed CA.mycom.com:4443  to 88 not use SSL. Removed any AAM with SSL Urls but Profile Sync still gets it somewhere even after recreating the whole UPA / Sync Application.

thanks for any help

reason for trying this ist this Blog post from www.wahidsaleemi.com:

== Quote www.wahidsaleemi.com   ==

I’m documenting this issue I discovered last week because I haven’t seen it mentioned elsewhere.

The issue occurs only when using the new SharePoint Active Directory Import in SharePoint 2013 when your Central Administration site is running over SSL. When you first setup your profile sync, you have three choices under “Configure Synchronization Settings”:

  1. Use SharePoint Profile Synchronization (This one leverages the built-in FIM)
  2. Use SharePoint Active Directory Import (This is the direct AD Import)
  3. Enable External Identity Provider

I haven’t tested with #1 and #3 so this issue may not apply to those. I originally configured Central Administration to run over port 443 (the default SSL port) and my IIS bindings only have the “https” type installed. By selecting my certificate in IIS, it gives me the proper host header: https://spadmin.mynetwork.com.

I did test using alternate ports without success. When using http, any port will work, whether you use the default port 80 or some other port like 8888. I’d like to mention if everything is setup correctly and working, Spence Harbar (@harbars) has a great blog post which explains how to set this up: http://www.harbar.net/archive/2012/07/23/sp13adi.aspx. Refer to that post to see how good ULS logs look. What if you have a similar configuration to the one I have?

You’ll see something like this first:

CreateProfileImportExportId: Could not InitializeProfileImportExportProcess for end point 'direct://spadmin.mynetwork.com:443/_vti_bin/profileimportexportservice.asmx?ApplicationID=03063851-9e17-4f94-8db6-a71f7b967bd3', retries left '0': Exception 0

And then:

ActiveDirectory Import failed for ConnectionForectName 'mynetwork.com', ConnectionSynchronizationOU 'DC=mynetwork,DC=com', ConnectionUserName 'mynetworkspupssync'. Error message: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException: No User Profile Application 

The Workaround

As far as I know, there is no true fix, its a bug. I hope this will be addressed by an update. To get this working you must use a non-SSL Central Administration. However, as a workaround, you can put a load balancer in front of  Central Administration so that client to server communications are encrypted but they’re unencrypted from the load balancer to Central Administration.

IRM Failing For Some Users

$

I am trying to setup an IRM protected document library in Sharepoint 2013 (with AD-RMS).  In fact, it is working, but only for a couple of my users.  When specific users download a document from the sharepoint site it makes it read-only, non-printable, etc.  For all other users (even though they are in the same permission groups) when they try to download the document they get messages: "The document you tried to download could not be protected."

I know this is not true as for certain users the document is protected.  In addition I know the permission group is working as for certain users, when they access sharepoint they only have view of certain folders in the document library, so permissions are being enforced in sharepoint.  It just seems like the IRM is having a problem for some reason.  Anyone seen this before?

Hi

I have installed an access app from SharePoint store called the 'Business Contact Tracker'. I have made changes to it on my development server, by adding fields and making changes to the forms. What is the best and the fastest way to deploy these changes to the production server, without having to re-do it?

Thanks!

Syncing Project client 2010 with Sharepoint online 2013

I'm in the process of setting up a site for our project office. They want users to only be able to edit tasks to which they have been assigned. I've achieved this with an impersonation workflow that gives users edit permission on tasks they've been assigned to, the workflow runs when a task is created. My question is: how can I get this workflow to run automatically whenever a new list is uploaded to sharepoint from MS Project.

Table of contents web part doesn't display all data

Hi,

We did a test migration from Sharepoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013. There is a Table of contents web part that is being used to display all of the team sites (more than 25). In the SharePoint 2013 version, the TOC web part is not displaying all of the sites. Any ideas of how to make it show all?

thanks,

Safe to delete/recreate Search Service Application?

$
0

Ever since I applied the August CU for SharePoint 2013 the "SharePoint Server Search 15" service has been randomly stopping and disabling itself.   I can re-enable it and start it manually, but within 15-60 minutes it always stops and disables itself.

I've done hours of troubleshooting to no avail and I'm ready to just give up and start over.  Unfortnately I don't have a development environment to test on so I'm wondering if it's safe to delete the Search Service Application and re-create it on a production environment.

I've found instructions for deleting a service application: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee704553.aspx

but I'm wondering if there are any cavets I should be aware of?  I'm planning on keeping all the search service databases and attaching the new service application to them.

WPS_WPG Group Missing From Local Groups

I'm installing SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and trying to get PowerPivot to work with SQL 2012 BI.  In two guides I've found to get everything working with constrained delegation, I'm told to update the Claims to Windows Token Service (c2wtshost.exe.config) configuration file and add "WPS_WPG" to the allowedCallers groups. 

I don't have that on my SharePoint server, so the service crashes when I try and start it.  Which application creates (or is supposed to create, I suppose) that user group: 

Guides I've followed:

Service Principal Name for SQL Server with Named Instance and Unique Port

$

Hello

I have a SQL Server named instance like 'SQLServer01\SQLDev' where 'SQLServer01' is the name of the Server and 'SQLDev' is the named instance. I set it up so that it does not use the default Port, it now uses Port number 4117.

What is the syntax to register a SPN for the SQL Server?

Right now I have it as

MSSQLSvc/SQLServer01.Contoso.Local:4117

MSSQLSvc/SQLServer01:4117

This may be incorrect and would appreciate any help with registering the SPN for a SQL Server with a named instance and a different Port. I also need to register the SPN for Analysis services in the same manner.

I forgot to mention, I have an Alias Name 'SPSQLSRVR' setup for the SQL Server.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I have created a Sharepoint site within my organization, and in that site I have one(1) application, tasks. 

What I want is that when someone of my workers create A task, it should send an email to the assigned contact. 

And after reading the help forums and searching by myself I believe that I have all the settings correct in order to make it do so.

But whenever a task is created, no email arrives to the assigned contact.

Why? 

All ideas and tips are welcome.

Sharepoint online 2013 - custom user login page

$

I have the following issue:

We have a sharepoint online 2013 (cloud-hosted) team site (ourcompanyname,sharepoint,com) as part of our Office365 Enterprise E3 license

At the moment our users must login through the standard microsoft office365 login form to access our site (login,microsoftonline,com)


Is there a way to have our users login through a custom login form (basic username and password) which then logs them into our sharepoint team site?

Is it possible to do this? I have heard this is achievable with FBA and SP 2013 (on-premise) but not sure about SP 2013 online (cloud hosted) version.

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks,

Trevor

I am trying to look at this warning on health monitor.

We had tried a  farm solution which  wasglobally deployed and later retracted and removed it as well. However now we see this wanring

[MissingFeature] Database [WSS_Content_DB1] has reference(s) to a missing feature: Id = [c11fb43e-53e1-4540-b91c-1ead8e84d6a5], Name = [Web Events feature of exported web template "TEAMSITE"], Description = [], Install Location = [Team_Site_ with_logoWebEventReceivers]. The feature with Id c11fb43e-53e1-4540-b91c-1ead8e84d6a5 is referenced in the database [WSS_Content_DB1], but is not installed on the current farm. The missing feature may cause upgrade to fail. Please install any solution which contains the feature and restart upgrade if necessary.

we got his wanring for all site  collection db's

what willbe correct way of finding if this is same solution feature waring ? and how to correctly it so as future upgrades don't fail.
