Hi

   I need to migrate the files from Shared folder(12 folder each of size 5GB) to the individual "My Sites" site in SharePoint.

  Without using 3rd Party tools, how to perform this data migration?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi, We are trying to federate users between SharePoint 2013 and Oracle Identity Federation (OIF) using ADFS 2/ SAML protocol.

I have followed the guide at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff849212%28v=ws.10%29.aspx 

The SAML tokens are flowing properly between ADFS and OIF but during the final part of the flow when the SAML token is sent to SharePoint we are getting an exception stating that "Trusted login provider 'ADFS' is not sending configured input identity claim type 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress'.
An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: The trusted login provider did not supply a token accepted by this farm." 
We are trying to read just 1 claim as of now to check the flow end to end which is the email address. The same is mapped in the claim rule mapping for the claim provider (ADFS <-> OIF) and relying party (ADFS <-> SP).

  The claim mapping is defined as follows:
  Claim Provider Trusts:
  c:[Type == "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/nameidentifier", Properties["http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claimproperties/format"] == "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress"]
   => issue(claim = c);

  Relying Party Trusts:
  c:[Type == "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/nameidentifier", Properties["http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claimproperties/format"] == "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress"]
   => issue(claim = c);

All rules are set as pass through or filter an incoming claim.

While checking the flow from <site>/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignOn.aspx the login is happening successfully and ADFS shows the sign out page.

The exception is happening when the token reaches SharePoint and it is unable to find the correct mapping.

The claim mapping done at the SP trusted provider is

$map = New-SPClaimTypeMapping "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress” -IncomingClaimTypeDisplayName "emailaddress" –SameAsIncoming

I have tried different combinations of the claim mappings between SP and ADFS in the relying party section.. The intention is to ensure the flow of email address between SP and OIF to ensure user login. We can build the claim set post successful flow completion. Any pointers would really help.

Hi All

Is it feasible to implement an SSO with SharePoint and other external applications such as Service Now( not synced to AD and having its own custom Database for authentication) and Cornerstone (currently authenticated with AD credentials and using F5 device for SSO ).

Would ADFS be feasible in such an environment, given the multiple external systems and their custom authentication?

Thanks

I am working on a pre-analysis report about integrating document templates on an existing php-based web site with SharePoint. My area is php and I don't know so much about setting up SP document templates.

What I need to know is: Is it possible for an SP consultant to set up external http URLs to Word-, PowerPoint- and Excel documents templates located on the external php web server?? This in order to not having to update changed templates on two servers (php and SP).

Thanks in advance.

I  understand this a new feature in SharePoint 2013:

• Hover over preview document in list without having to open the document

But I tried in my SP 2013 document library, this is no preview when hover over.   May be it is the browser requirement not met?

What is the browser requirement for this feature?

I tried on IE 9 and IE 11, both not working (IE 11 is the browser on a server machine)

Anyone has an idea?

Hi All,

I am trying to setup SharePoint 2013 with ADFS and reverse proxy. While doing so I am observing that sharepoint trust application routing to wrong adfs url.

Here is how I have setup the environment:

DMZ Server

Host Name: dmz.mydomain.com

Windows Server 2012 (not R2)

ADFS is installed on port 443 on default website. (This is for testing purpose. I am planning to install adfs proxy on DMZ later)

I have created a new site on port 8099 which routes all request to internal sharepoint site.

ADFS has relying party added for SharePoint:

https://dmz.mydoamin.com:8099/_trust/

Internal server

Windows Server 2012 (not r2)

Actual SharePoint site is on Port 8088

http://internal.mydomain.com:8088/

When I run command "Get-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer" i see following:

ProviderUri                   :https://dmz.mydomain.com/adfs/ls/
DefaultProviderRealm          : urn:8099:sharepoint
ProviderRealms                : {[https://dmz.mydoamin.com:8099/,
                                urn:8099:sharepoint]}
ClaimTypes                    : {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity
                                /claims/upn,http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005
                                /05/identity/claims/emailaddress,http://schema
                                s.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/role
                                }
HasClaimTypeInformation       : True
ClaimTypeInformation          : {EmailAddress, UPN, Role}
ClaimProviderName             :
UseWReplyParameter            : False
UseWHomeRealmParameter        : False
RegisteredIssuerName          :
IdentityClaimTypeInformation  : Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.SPTr
                                ustedClaimTypeInformation
Description                   : SharePoint secured by SAML

When I navigate to https://dmz.mydoamin.com:8099/ to access sharepoint i see that following url

https://dmz.mydomain.com:8099/_trust/default.aspx?trust=Demo%20SAML%20Provider&ReturnUrl=%2f_layouts%2f15%2fAuthenticate.aspx%3fSource%3d%252F&Source=%2F

 in response returns following

https://dmz.mydomain.com:8099/adfs/ls/?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=urn%3a8099%3asharepoint&wctx=https%3a%2f%2finternal.mydomain.com%3a8088%2f_layouts%2f15%2fAuthenticate.aspx%3fSource%3d%252F

If you notice adfs url is wrong. My adfs site is on port 443. So SharePoint thinks that adfs is installed on same port as of SharePoint site. So i get Page not found response. Later if i enterhttps://dmz.mydoamin.com:8099/ again, i see the SharePoint site. That means authentication worked just that wrong adfs url was sent one of the response.

So i am not able to figure out what is wrong? Anyone has seen this issue before?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Rahul

I tried to use the 'DiscussionLastUpdated ' managed property in SharePoint 2013 to show latest commented discussions from a discussion board. I used a Content Search web part. But the web part does not update as users add comments to the discussions in the discussion board. The discussion board has unique permissions. Where the site visitors have a contribute right in addition to the read access.

I have also tried creating a new managed property named MyDiscussionLastUpdated  (mapped to ows_DiscussionLastUpdated crawled property) and it was available for use in the web part after the full crawl. The problem was not resolved still.

Here are my observations: 
1. If an Administrator replies on a discussion any time during the day, the web part updates (as the 'DiscussionLastUpdated '  property might have been getting updated properly) appropriately after an incremental crawl. 
2. If a reader replies very as a  first person of the day to reply on the discussion, the web part is updated appropriately after an incremental crawl. But the web part does not get updated for any other (if that is not the first reply on the discussion for the day)replies from the reader after an incremental crawl.
3. Web part gets updated appropriately after a full crawl regardless of the user and the time of day. 
4. All the replies are crawled properly after an incremental crawl(as well as a full crawl of course) and can be seen in the crawl log of the search service application. 

Please help!

Hi, I have been frequently seeing Event ID Errors 5823 and 5819 for Information Rights Management appearing in my logs. Through the ULS logs I have been able to track this down and reproduce the error by saving a password encrypted Office document into SharePoint. What I don't understand is why I am seeing these errors when I do not have IRM configured.  It is set to ‘Do not use IRM on this server’ in CA.  Can anyone explain what is  going on under the hood?  I know I can ignore them but is there any way I can stop these errors being generated?

Thanks

Wendy

Guten Tag,

ich bin derzeit mit dem Suchergebnisse-Webpart in SharePoint 2013 beschäftigt.

Mein Wunsch ist es, eine Übersichtsseite zu haben, die mithilfe des Suchergebnis-Webparts alle Website-Sammlungen anzeigt, für die der anzeigende Benutzer berechtigt ist.

Ich habe hierfür testweise 3 Website-Sammlungen angelegt und einige Dokumente hochgeladen, damit sie in der Suche überhaupt gefunden werden.

Leider gelingt es mir ganz und gar nicht, die Abfrage dafür richtig einzustellen... Es fängt schon damit an, dass ich nur angeben kann, dass ich nach "Seiten" suche. Ich möchte aber nach "Website-Sammlungen" suchen... Ist das u. U. gar nicht möglich?

Vielen Dank!

Hello, 

at the moment i try sth. out by using the Search-result Webpart in SharePoint 2013.

I want to create an overview-page that shows the user every site-collection he is authorized to.

Therefore i've created 3 site-collections and uploaded some documents.

But my problem is to adjust the query... The first problem is that i can only select "search for sites". But I want to search for "site-collections"... Is that maybe not even possible?

Thank you!

I set the Global Navigation to use "Managed Navigation using term set".  In the Navigation setting page this is "Add new pages to navigation automatically" I checked box.  (Specify the default setting for new pages created in sites using Managed Navigation)

But when I created a new page, the page title is not created in the term store as a new term.   I understand when a new term is created in the term set I can link it to a page, if the page already created.  I thought if the above check box is checked it means when a new page is created the corresponding named term will be created in the term set that is used for navigation.

Can some one tell me what is the correct behaviour for this feature?

How I can implement a single installation over multiple network's?

We have 2 completely different network's that I would like to manage with one installation of SharePoint 2013. Is that doable?

Our internal network uses active directory domain accounts and our external does not.

Is there a way they can live together seamlessly? With one installation of SharePoint?

I want...

For example, if I create a Publishing Site for the external site, I want to be able to manage it from our internal installation. That's my goal.

Thank You for any help you can provide.

Hello,

I am having a strange issue with the User Profile Service. If I select Manage User Properties I get the error:

Your search encountered an error. If the problem persists, contact the portal site administrator.

After some troubleshooting I could not identify a fault so I decided to recreate the User Profile Service. I deleted everything including the databases and started again.

I have created a new User Profile Service and everything looked fine when I click on Manage User Properties the properties showed correctly.

When I then started the Sync service the error returned. If I stop the sync service the error goes away. I have looked at the ULS logs etc and I cannot see any errors that jump out at me. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi there,

To expose SharePoint on Internet - is it okay to put WFE Server in DMZ and APP Server in internal network (2-Tier)?

Any better approach?

Thanks.

Hi,

i am having issue with migration of Mysite from one SP 2013 farm to another. i already migrated managed metadata and user profile service application databases. All the termsets and user profile showing correctly into the new farm. now problem with mysite, when trying to access getting following error, any idea? also noticed if i mouse hover-over on Newsfeed or OneDrive, old mysite url displaying. FYI, i have created new my site web application with different url than old farm mysite url.

Hi, I am not able to add new AAM URL in one Web Application, I tried first Central admin and it was showing progress for long time then I tried below PowerShell:

“New-SPAlternateURL https://test.my.point.world.com -Zone "Internet", and this command also executing for long time then I have to stop the command.

In other web application I can add AAM URL via Central Admin and PowerShell both but problem is with only one web app.

Hi there,

My RSS feed is NOT SSL - NOT HTTPS - It is simply http.

It works fine if I just go to RSS feed URL in my browser.

In SharePoint RSS Viewer Webpart it gives me this error: "The requested RSS feed could not be displayed. Please verify the settings and url for this feed. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator."

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have another question for the SharePoint Gurus.

I am seeing the following entry showing up in our Window Event log viewer for the Application log:

Event ID: 5586

Unknown SQL Exception 262 occurred.

CREATE TABLE permission denied in database WSS_Content_Admin

Now, I know this is our Central Admin site collection's database and the error is referring to a couple service accounts, which are registered in SharePoint. The question here is, how do I properly grant access to these managed accounts so that they have access to the Central Admin's content datatbase?

My thought was to use the "GrantAccessToProcessIdentity" method of the Central admin web application, but I am not sure if this is the correct way to go about things. I've also seen some blog sites that mention manually going into SQL server and grating the db owner permission to the Central Admin's content database directly, but this also does not seem appropriate to me.

Is there a preferred method to properly grant the required permissions to the database?

Thanks!
