Hi,

I am wondering to see if we can use AD groups to add to SharePoint groups when using SAML Authentication.

Details:

SharePoint Server 2013 - Default Zone with NTLM, extended to extranet zone with SAML authentication only

I used LDAPCP from codeplex http://ldapcp.codeplex.com/ and am able to resolve the users through email address but not the Active Directory security groups. 

Any insight on this is really appreciated.

Thanks, SV

I created a new Web Application it created the 80 folder in the Vitual Directories, but I need it to be a 443 folder.  What do I need to do to swich this because otherwise I can not create my Services.

Thank you

I have an external AD domain with no trust. I am trying to set up FBA with AD. This is not involving SQL server but involving the AD directly with account and populating them. SP admin before me had set it up for Novell E directory. I had opened another thread regarding this with some info but since that thread has been marked as answered i am opening this new one.

The last thread is here:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/43f2b263-d8de-4d2f-8d41-82e919c9377f/can-we-have-more-than-1-memebrship-provider-in-sts-token-service?forum=sharepointadmin

I am following the steps defined in the following article: http://mirzafarhan.wordpress.com/2014/02/07/sharepoint-2013-configuring-claim-based-authentication-for-use-with-active-directory-ldap/

External domain: ext.oma.edu

User inputs following while registering: First Name , Last name and email id. User gets user name and password.

My code for STS

Is everything i am doing correct. Two questions: What do i pass for CN? Is it plain user or connectionusername admin?

Also do i create new <system.web> section to add this or i use the existing section where another fba has been configured? As soon as i add this another fba stops functioning? Please provide me with some idea.

Hi All,

I run a multitenanted SP2013 environment (with Office Web Apps but I doubt that matters here).

As it's multitenanted lots of different customers share the same web app but have an individual different site collection, with their own URL.

I was wondering if there was a way to setup Forms based login for a generic URL - something like xyz.com that points to the login form, then have that form intelligently work out where to send the user based on their logon account.

Sounds like something that might require dev work with a special front end but I thought I'd ask in here first in case this was something that can be done out of the box.

Thanks

We have 1 webapplication (HNSC) with number of site collection within it. All use NTLM authentication. But a new site require Kerberos authentication. There is no TMG setup. It has 2WFE, 1 APP 1 SQL server.

My question is in SP 2013 how can we implement this, one site collection is with NTLM and other is Kerberos?

We are not using AAM like we did in SP2010.

Is this possible then how?

Hi,

I have resolved the processing error (n°401) on my workflow 2013 cause the UPS was not retrieved me all the users profiles.

Now i have got the Error 500 when the WF 2013 trie to be executed. It was "canceled" again. The ULS log files contains this error :

"/test/workflow/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbyid(guid'b6f9bea7-7096-4d5c-a05c-4cadea172cd2')" Object reference not set to an instance...

But the workflow 2010 was fine !

Best regards.

Hi all,

I'm really stuck on this, maybe you guys can help:

When I try to create a new service application (or delete one) via Central Administration or PowerShell, I get time-outs.

Example PowerShell error:

Remove-SPServiceApplication : Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed
prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
At line:1 char:1

It tells me in the event viewer that it has troubles connecting to the database server. I've checked everything, DNS, ping latency, resources, they're all fine. The rest of SharePoint works great. It's only when creating new service applications etc.

I also updated the time-out value, from 90 sec. to 300 sec, but still no luck.

Anyone ever had this problem and maybe can help me with this?

Thanks in advanced!

With kind regards,

M. Hekman

Oh yeah Apps are great, yippee.

I can't get access to any of the App functionality.

I configured my On Prem to the best of my ability but I'm not getting very far.

The Online store gives unexpected error when browsing apps from within SP2013.
If I go to the sharepoint store from separate browser I can recover an App Id, return to the sharepoint 2013 browser search the store for that id the add. The App will then add itself to the farm but adding it to a site it fails on installation. the one thing that happens here that has drawn my attention in ULS is the APP#0 tempalte seems to not be available. So when the app tries to create it's web it can't.

When deploying an app from Visual Studio I can't get a build because of the elements.xml file all contain this attribute  ReplaceContent="TRUE"

I adjusted the wss.vxd file to define (as Google advises) that attribute but it does not help. If I remove that attribute from the element file the build succeeeds but the deploy fails.

After installing Service Pack 1 on SharePoint 2013, the

Document Conversions Launcher for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 … stopped

Document Conversions Load balancer for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 … stopped

Cannot be started manually as well.

No dependencies.  These services should just start.

Before installing SP1, both services started.

Does anyone know why this happens? any way to get them started

Hi,

We're currently evaluating replacing an Exchange 2007 based mail server with one based on Exchange 2013. There are several reasons for doing this, one reason is that Exchange 2013 offers much better integration with Sharepoint 2013. Our new intranett system is based on Sharepoint 2013 Server on premise.The question is do we go for an Exchange server in our server farm, or use an online (365) version of Exchange?

1) Is it possible to use an on premise version of Sharepoint Server 2013 (server edition) with an online version of Exchange 2013?

2) If yes are there any differences in the level of integration between SP2013/Exchange 2013 on premise and SP2013 on premises/online Exchange 2013?

3) What additional setup is required if we decided to use SP2013 on premise with online Exchange 2013 ?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings and good morning.

I'm going to start off in broad terms with this question because I'm not 100 percent sure what information to provide.

Long story short, we've got a Web Access Data Sheet list hosted in a Sharepoint 2010 environment. It is accessed and used by multiple people throughout the day. It contains several thousand line item entries. I'd call it a large data sheet.

I think the size of the data sheet is casuign some instability in the list. I'd like to be able to export a defined range of data from the list into a local excel or access file. After that, I'd delete the stuff on the Access list to improve performance.

But...when I attempt to use the Sharepoint Action bar to export - Excel locks up/crashes. If I try to export to Access, I get a similar issue.

Any ideas? Could anyone begin by telling me what other information is required?

Hi All,

 When i try to manually (no internet connection on the server) install SharePoint 2013 Prerequisites on Windows Server 2012 I get the below error

I have installed .Net Framework 3.5, 4.0 and Windows Identity Foundation using Add server roles or features from the server manager.

From Software & Hardware requirements for SharePoint 2013 give Prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 I can see that the identity extensions are available only of Windows Server 2008 R2 and not for windows server 2012. Can you please provide the link for windows server 2012? 

I have installed all the prerequisites required except Microsoft Identity Extensions.

Hello,

We run a Sharepoint 2013 on a windows server 2008 r2 and would like to start using OneDrive. Now all i can find on installing the Onedrive for business client on our client computers is just, select Onedrive menu and click the "Sync" button on the top right corner. When i do that it starts installing Sharepoint WorkSpace on my computer and that's basically how far i've come.

Is it something that needs to be setup or what do i haft to do?
Client machines run windows 7 with Office 2010. 

Recently read an article by Bill Baer: http://blogs.technet.com/b/wbaer/archive/2014/03/21/onedrive-for-business-redirection-to-office-365.aspx

In it Bill talked about OneDrive Redirection and more specifically cited that Site Pages can be redirected to Office 365 as well, however "these users will not see sites and recommendations based on on-premises SharePoint Server 2013."

So is there no way at all to get that on premise stuff up to the cloud? in a "Two-way" configuration?

Here is my scenario: 

My current dev sharepoint 2013 environment is using a former backup of Production (which is 2010). We need to restore the latest backup from production into the dev environment. I restored the production backup to a new database under a different name. When I use "Mount-spContentDatabase" and point towards the latest production backup under a new name it gives me the error:

"

Mount-SPContentDatabase : The attach operation cannot continue because another
object in this farm already contains the same ID. Each object in a farm must
have a unique ID. In order to proceed with the attach operation you must
assign a new ID to this database. To attach this database with a new ID, use
the Mount-SPContentDatabase command with the -AssignNewDatabaseId parameter.
Note that if this new database and an existing database contain the same site
collections, attaching this database will likely result in orphaned site
collections due to conflicts between the two databases." 

I realize mounting the same content db's in one farm leads to a duplication of database and site collection GUIDS in the sql database. I guess my question is what is the easiest way to restore a content db with the same site collections and ID. 

Should I "disconnect" the current dev content db, take a backup of it, delete it from sql server, and then mount the newest production backup or will that still give me the same "orphaned" site issue?

Should I do the above, delete the web application, create a new one and then try to mount latest production backup?

If someone could give me specifics on how this can be accomplished short of installing on a new farm that would be much appreciated!

hello ...i want to ask regarding improved "Data Visualization" tools on SharePoint 2013.

i am working on Dashboards. i have used "SSRS" and "Performance Point Service" on SharePoint 2013 for Data Visualization but their graphics are not so attractive as in "Info Graphics". is there any way that can improve the visualization aspect of Dashboard and can i use infographics on "SharePoint 2013" or any other 3rd party tools?
