Hello,

I am trying to configure an Audience using AD Groups and then display a Web part if you are in the AD Group but the webpart is not being displayed!! What i have setup so far is:

1. Given the relevant account the correct permission in AD
2. Setup a Connection to the relevent OU in AD (this OU only contains Groups (one level deep) and users are added to those groups) - I have tried both Profile Synch and Active Directory Import (AD Import is prefered)
3. Creted a new Audience (with and without an Owner)
4. Added a rule (Member of and selected the AD Group)
5. Compiled the Audience and run full and incremental profile syncs

I am able to select the audience in the web part but it is not displayed for any users (if they are in the group or not), if i remove the Audience the web part is visible to all users. 

When i view the Audience it does not contain any members, if there are two users in the AD group, should this display 2:

The account used to sync with AD only has the replicate permission, we only want to read from AD not have a two way sync (the reason i was trying the Active Directory Import first).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

As I mentioned, I can no longer get certificate authentication to work in SharePoint.

It was mentioned that ADFS 2.0 can be used to set up certificate authentication to work with SharePoint. Does anyone know any books or tutorials that can show how to do the following:

Set up ADFS 2.0

Implement Certificate Authentication using Windows AD PKI User Certificates

Integrate it with SharePoint 2013.

Thanks A million

Hello,

 I just recently setup a SharePoint 2013 farm using AutoSPInstaller. everything installed fine with no errors, but it seems as though MySites are not working. I have read through several blogs and checked everything.

Any other ideas?

My Site creation failure for user 'liberty_domain\user1' for site url 'https://mysites.domain.org/personal/user1'. The exception was: Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PersonalSiteCreateException: A failure was encountered while attempting to create the site. ---> Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist.

I have over 4000 xdw files on my SharePoint server.

I can open and view them with DocuWorks on my PC but the 200-300 other users can't open or view them without loading DocuWorks on there PC.

Is there any way to run the viewer as an add-in on the SharePoint server or from a VB script.

Hi 

the Project Summary web part throws an error:

does anyone know the fix for this ? 

Greetings All,

I am having issues creating a new UPS Synchronization Connection.  I add the connection, connect to AD without issues, populate the AD container without issue, select the OU's I want to sync and click OK.  After the process runs for a couple minutes, I receive the following message:

I run a merge log files including the specified correlation ID (above) and have the following:

Thank you!

I have configured Forms based authentication and I can login with Windows authentication but when I log out I get following error

"Claim identity is not from a trusted login provider. Identity Name '0#.w|alidev\spwebapp'."

Alidev is my DC and "spwebapp" is account running app pool

We are in the planning process of creating Records Centers as our record management approach. We plan to create multiple Records Centers to manage records for a group of sites (might contain multiple site collections). 

I am not sure if we need to create the Records Center as site collection for each one we need, or, should we create the Records Centers as sub-sites under single site collection? What's the pros and cons for each approach? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello, 

I am trying to provide external access to sharepoint site using WAP. Followed the article to every step. But I am getting "webpage not available" error from outside.

http://www.sharepoint4developers.net/en-nz/post/wap-adfs-sp2013-kerberos.aspx

I am working with windows 2012R2 and Sharepoint 2013

1. I can access the site internally using http (not https). Kerberos is enabled and I verified the kerberos ticket is generated when I access the site. 

2. From outside I can ping the site. 

 For testing I made changes on DNS so if I use https://portal.domain.com from inside network it redirects to WAP server. 

It seems that it is hitting WAP and getting redirected to ADFS and I do see the ADFS login page but there is no login and password fields. Instead I see the error below (on the browser). 

• Activity ID: 950b520f-7e08-0002-3d52-0b95087ed001
• Error time: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 14:21:19 GMT
• Cookie: enabled
• User agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.3; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; MS-RTC LM 8)

On ADFS server I see the error below

Server manager->ADFS

Question:

1. I am not sure why I cant get to WAP from outside 

2. Can I use wildcard certificates  on all servers. I used the same certificates everywhere. 

Help please. 

Thanks

Hello folk

I have a SharePoint Farm on-premises, with the app management service configured. There are two Web applications, A and B.  Each Web Application has its own app catalog. The app catalogs are configured to prevent purchases but to allow app requests.

Under this scenario, if a user requests an app on Site Collection A, on Web Application A, then the Admin user for the Catalog has to approve the app. If the Admin approves the request, then the app becomes available in the entire site collection A from Web Application A, but also in all Site collection B in Web Application B. Is this correct?

My understanding is that if each Web application has its own catalog and apps, then apps approved in Web Application A should not be available in Site Collection B on Web Application B, Only in Web Application A.

Ref: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161237.aspx

• In which environments do you want apps for SharePoint to be available?For example, intranet, extranet, or Internet environments?

You should decide which environments are appropriate for using apps for SharePoint and configure the settings for apps for SharePoint only in those farms or for those web applications.

Our user actively use the OOB "reusable content" function to dynamic update their pages. Each "reusable content" item is applying to 10-20 pages.

Let's say one day user is going to remove one of "reusable content" item. How can he list all related pages for review purpose?

I want to setup Workflow manager in our new SharePoint 2013 farm and have a few questions that I can't seem to find anything on.

1. Is it better set it up as part of the farm or on a separate server? 

2. If you set it up on a separate server can more then one farm use it?

3. If you set it up on separate server, what are the hardware requirements?

4. My farm is runs on Server 2012 R2, will that be ok?

5. Can you use SQL 2012 R2.

Looking to get opinions on the downside of continuous crawl?

I would imagine it might make updating more difficult? (CUs & SPs)

Are there any know "bugs" having to do with using continuous crawl?

Hi,

In my infopath form i have two check boxes i.e YES and NO. I applied the validation rule that one of them should be checked at a time. For that set the values for checked and unchecked as in screen shot:

When i edit or view the item, i lost the value of check box selected (both check boxes become unchecked).

I noticed that problem is solved when i set the values as FALSE and TRUE instead of 0 and 1 like in below screen shot:

But is this case my validation rule doesn't work. Is there any work around?
