ADFS SSO and SharePoint 2013 on-premise Hybrid outbound search results from SharePoint Online - does it work?
Hi,
I want to setup an outpund hybrid search for SharePoint 2013 on-premise to SharePoint Online.
But I'm not shure if this works with ADFS SSO.
Has somebody experience with this setup?
Here's my guide which I'm going to use for this installation:
Introduction
In this post I'll show you how to get search results from your SharePoint Online in your SharePoint 2013 on-premise search center.
Requirements
User synchronisation ActiveDirectory to Office 365 with DirSync
DirSync password sync or ADFS SSO
SharePoint Online
SharePoint 2013 on-premise
Enterprise Search service
SharePoint Online Management Shell
Instructions
All configuration will be done either in the Search Administration of the Central Administration or in the PowerShell console of your on-premise SharePoint 2013 server.
Set up Sever to Server Trust
Export certificates
To create a server to server trust we need two certificates.
[certificate name].pfx: In order to replace the STS certificate, the certificate is needed in Personal Information Exchange (PFX) format including the private key.
[certificate name].cer: In order to set up a trust with Office 365 and Windows Azure ACS, the certificate is needed in CER Base64 format.
First launch the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Select your SharePoint web server and double-click Server Certificates
In the Actions pane, click Create Self-Signed Certificate
Enter a name for the certificate and save it with OK
To export the new certificate in the Pfx format select it and click Export in the Actions pane
Fill the fields and click OK Export to: C:\[certificate
name].pfx Password: [password]
Also we need to export the certificate in the CER Base64 format. For that purpose make a right-click on the certificate select it and click on View...
Click the Details tab and then click Copy to File
On the Welcome to the Certificate Export Wizard page, click Next
On the Export Private Key page, click Next
On the Export File Format page, click Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER), and then click Next.
As file name enter C:\[certificate
name].cer and then click Next
Finish the export
Import the new STS (SharePoint Token Service) certificate
Let's update the certificate on the STS. Configure and run the PowerShell script below on your SharePoint server.
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
$X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
$PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# import it
Set-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig -ImportSigningCertificate $PfxCert
Type Yes when prompted with the following message.
You are about to change the signing certificate for the Security Token Service. Changing the certificate to an invalid, inaccessible or non-existent certificate will cause your SharePoint installation to stop functioning. Refer
to the following article for instructions on how to change this certificate: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=178475. Are you
sure, you want to continue?
Restart IIS so STS picks up the new certificate.
& iisreset
& net stop SPTimerV4
& net start SPTimerV4
Now validate the certificate replacement by running several PowerShell commands and compare their outputs.
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# compare the output above with this output
(Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig).LocalLoginProvider.SigningCertificate
[/code]
## Establish the server to server trust
[code lang="ps"]
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
Import-Module MSOnline
Import-Module MSOnlineExtended
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
$X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
# set the onpremise domain that you added to Office 365
$SPCN = "sharepoint.domain.com"
# your onpremise SharePoint site url
$SPSite="http://sharepoint"
# don't change this value
$SPOAppID="00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
$PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# get the raw data
$PfxCertBin = $PfxCert.GetRawCertData()
# create a new certificate object
$X64Cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
# import the base 64 encoded certificate
$X64Cert.Import($X64CertPath)
# get the raw data
$X64CertBin = $X64Cert.GetRawCertData()
# save base 64 string in variable
$CredValue = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($X64CertBin)
# connect to office 3656
Connect-MsolService
# register the on-premise STS as service principal in Office 365
# add a new service principal
New-MsolServicePrincipalCredential -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID -Type asymmetric -Usage Verify -Value $CredValue
$MsolServicePrincipal = Get-MsolServicePrincipal -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID
$SPServicePrincipalNames = $MsolServicePrincipal.ServicePrincipalNames
$SPServicePrincipalNames.Add("$SPOAppID/$SPCN")
Set-MsolServicePrincipal -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID -ServicePrincipalNames $SPServicePrincipalNames
# get the online name identifier
$MsolCompanyInformationID = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation).ObjectID
$MsolServicePrincipalID = (Get-MsolServicePrincipal -ServicePrincipalName $SPOAppID).ObjectID
$MsolNameIdentifier = "$MsolServicePrincipalID@$MsolCompanyInformationID"
# establish the trust from on-premise with ACS (Azure Control Service)
# add a new authenticatio realm
$SPSite = Get-SPSite $SPSite
$SPAppPrincipal = Register-SPAppPrincipal -site $SPSite.rootweb -nameIdentifier $MsolNameIdentifier -displayName "SharePoint Online"
Set-SPAuthenticationRealm -realm $MsolServicePrincipalID
# register the ACS application proxy and token issuer
New-SPAzureAccessControlServiceApplicationProxy -Name "ACS" -MetadataServiceEndpointUri "https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/metadata/json/1/" -DefaultProxyGroup
New-SPTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer -MetadataEndpoint "https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/metadata/json/1/" -IsTrustBroker -Name "ACS"
Add a new result source
To get search results from SharePoint Online we have to add a new result source. Run the following script in a PowerShell ISE session on your SharePoint 2013 on-premise server. Don't forget to update the settings region
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
# region settings
$RemoteSharePointUrl = "http://[example].sharepoint.com"
$ResultSourceName = "SharePoint Online"
$QueryTransform = "{searchTerms}"
$Provier = "SharePoint-Remoteanbieter"
# region settings end
$SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$FederationManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Query.FederationManager($SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication)
$SPEnterpriseSearchOwner = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchOwner -Level Ssa
$ResultSource = $FederationManager.GetSourceByName($ResultSourceName, $SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
if(!$ResultSource){
Write-Host "Result source does not exist. Creating..."
$ResultSource = $FederationManager.CreateSource($SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
$ResultSource.Name = $ResultSourceName
$ResultSource.ProviderId = $FederationManager.ListProviders()[$Provier].Id
$ResultSource.ConnectionUrlTemplate = $RemoteSharePointUrl
$ResultSource.CreateQueryTransform($QueryTransform)
$ResultSource.Commit()
Add a new query rule
In the Search Administration click on Query Rules
Select Local SharePoint as Result Source
Click New Query Rule
Enter a Rule name f.g. Search results from SharePoint Online
Expand the Context section
Under Query is performed on these sources click on Add Source
Select your SharePoint Online result source
In the Query Conditions section click on Remove Condition
In the Actions section click on Add Result Block
As title enter Results for "{subjectTerms}" from SharePoint Online
In the Search this Source dropdown select your SharePoint Online result source
Select 3 in the Items dropdown
Expand the Settings section and select "More" link goes to the following URL
In the box below enter this Url https://[example].sharepoint.com/search/pages/results.aspx?k={subjectTerms}
Select This block is always shown above core results and click the OK button
Save the new query rule
Hi Janik,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display hybrid search results in SharePoint Server 2013.
For achieving your demand, please have a look at the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn197173(v=office.15).aspx
If you are using single sign-on (SSO) authentication, it is important to test hybrid Search functionality by using federated user accounts. Native Office 365 user accounts and Active Directory Domain Services
(AD DS) accounts that are not federated are not recognized by both directory services. Therefore, they cannot authenticate using SSO, and cannot be granted permissions to resources in both deployments. For more information, see Accounts
needed for hybrid configuration and testing.

Eric

Dear All,
I have a Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise + SQL Server 2012 running in single server. I have a client where they are using Vmware Sphere 5.1 - having 2 virtual machines. One to run SQL server 2012 and the other run SharePoint 2013 Standard.
My question is , is it possible for me to restore .bak file from my machine to the client environment? If it is possible; may I ask for a step by step guide on how to do it?
If it is not possible, do it need to recreate the content of my SharePoint site for the client?
Really need help.It is possible, but after the restore is complete you will have to redo all the security settings on all the content in the sites and in SQL since they will have a completely separate domain than yours.

If I create a template on SharePoint 2013 Foundation, then create a site on SharePoint Enterprise (or Office/365) fully configured to support SharePoint 2013 workflows. When I access the site through SharePoint Designer 2013, and attempt to create a workflow
SharePoint 2013 Workflows are not available -- you get message that SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform is not available because it is not configured on the server. This appears to be a bug in SharePoint Designer as the 2013 Workflows are available on the team
site on the same site collection. There is no reason that a site created from a SharePoint 2013 foundation template should have this restriction. To make matters worse if you then save that site as a template on the SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (or
Office/365) system and create a new site from the that template you get the same issue.
Anyone know a workaround/fix to this issue. Have imported the template into Visual Studio but I can not find any way in Visual Studio to enable SharePoint 2013 workflows. A solution that involves Visual Studio import would work fine
for me.
EarllibbyApparently you did not read my question very carefully. The workflow manager is configured properly on this server and for the basic Team site in this site collection the full SharePoint 2013 workflows are available in SharePoint Designer 2013.
BUT they are not available on another site in the SAME SITE COLLECTION that was created from a solution template that was created on a SharePoint Foundation server.

Sharepoint 2013 on premises Tags & Notes button in List and Document library is disabled.
Hi,
In My Sharepoint 2013 on premises installation Tags & Notes button in List and Document library ribbon is appearing as greyed out.
I have checked that managed metadata service, User profile services are running. Also have given required permissions to the logged in user.
As I came to know that Tags & Notes feature has been retired in Sharepoint online. Is this happening because of same reason as I have downloaded the Sharepoint 2013 on premises version recently or do I need to change some settings.
Please advice.Hi Saurav,
pls check below
What version of SharePoint 2010 "SP 2010 Foundation or SP 2010 Server" you need to have SP 2010 server and to have the "User Profile service application".
How do you configure the "User Profile service application" did you add the "Social Tagging Database"
Create, edit, or delete a User Profile service application (SharePoint Server 2010)"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721052.aspx
When you access to "Application Management>Manage service applications>User Profile Service Application>Manage User Permissions" validate if the all authenticated users Group have the "use Social Features" checked.
Also validate in Central Administration in Farm Features if you have social tags and notes activated.

What is sharepoint 2013 on premise and online
HI
what is sharepoint 2013 on premise and online
what is the concept in onpremises
adilThis is really basic stuff, have you searched for it at all? There is, quite literally, hundreds of articles on this such as:
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/04/01/key-piece.aspx
SharePoint On-Premises is where you own the servers and install SharePoint on them and manage it. SharePoint online is where Microsoft own and run the hardware and give you a section of it to use. -
Add SharePoint 2013 On-Premise to Add a Place in Office 2013
We are in the process of rolling out SharePoint 2013 on-premise to all users in our organization. As part the roll-out we are also upgrading users to Office 2013. Unfortunately, we have difficulty explaining to users how to Save As to SharePoint the first
time. Until a user saves to SharePoint the first time this option is not available from the Save As screen. Per the post here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/12a2fd07-a5db-4637-b4bd-ed9711542ea3/option-save-as-sharepoint-missing-in-office-2013?forum=officesetupdeploy
The "solution" is to have a user open an existing file and save back to SharePoint. This is all well and good if there is content to access unfortunately this is not a manageable process for new users on a blank site. Is it possible to Add an entry
through GPO, GPP, or directly to the registry to provide the Save to SharePoint, Save to Network Location or alternatively to the Add a Place options?
I understand that Microsoft is pushing for everyone to move to the cloud but this user experience between two Microsoft products (Office and SharePoint) is extremely cumbersome. I appreciate any assistance anyone can provide. Thank you.did you check this link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/54ab0283-de8e-474a-9381-96044369f37a/office-2013-default-save-location-group-policy?forum=officeitpro
Other option i am thinking,
Map a Drive to SharePoint site and then set that location as default location. May be this work.

Provider hosted app installed on SharePoint 2013 on premises is returning internal 500 error !
Hello,
I have deployed the basic provider hosted app on sharepoint 2013 on premises.
However when I try to run the app, its throwing an error on following as mentioned in screen:
It seems an authentication issue, would you please tell me how can I resolve it ?
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Dipti ChhatrapatiHi,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you run provider hosted app in SharePoint 2013 on premise, the app occurs internal 500 error.
For using Managed .NET Client Object Model in Provider hosted app, it will need
TokenHelper.cs to get the ClientContext object like below:
private void RetrieveWithCSOM(string accessToken)
if (IsPostBack)
sharepointUrl = new Uri(Request.QueryString["SPHostUrl"]);
ClientContext clientContext =
TokenHelper.GetClientContextWithAccessToken(
sharepointUrl.ToString(), accessToken);
//Load the properties for the web object.
Web web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Get the site name.
siteName = web.Title;
//Get the current user.
clientContext.Load(web.CurrentUser);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
currentUser = clientContext.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;
//Load the lists from the Web object.
ListCollection lists = web.Lists;
clientContext.Load<ListCollection>(lists);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Load the current users from the Web object.
UserCollection users = web.SiteUsers;
clientContext.Load<UserCollection>(users);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (User siteUser in users)
listOfUsers.Add(siteUser.LoginName);
foreach (List list in lists)
listOfLists.Add(list.Title);

SharePoint 2013 On premises provider hosted app - Logged in user info
As per my understanding, following scenario is not possible in a provided hosted app deployed for SharePoint 2013 on-premises.
1) User clicks the button of app on a SharePoint Site. Remote Web app page opens
2) Remote app page shows the message "Welcome [User Name]" (without authenticating user again)
3) If that user has contributor permissions in originating SharePoint site, the app should display "Welcome Contributor" otherwise it should display "Welcome Visitor"
Please let me know if above functionality could be achieved?
Hammad Arif EPM Advice BlogHi,
According to your description,my understanding is that you want to show user information when clicking the app without asking credentials .
By default, SharePoint Provider hosted app is hosted outside SharePoint web application, so it needs credentials to get OAuth.
I suggest you can use SharePoint hosted app, it hosted at the same web application as SharePoint, then when you click the app, it will get the current logged in user without without asking credentials.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

SharePoint 2013 on premises vs Microsoft Azure Cloud Migration
Hi All,
we do have SharePoint 2010 on premises environment and now company wants to upgrade it to SharePoint 2013.
what is best way to approach means should we migrate SharePoint 2010 to on premises SharePoint 2013 environment or to Microsoft azure cloud?
if we do Microsoft azure then what are pron and cons about using azure cloud for SharePoint 2013 environment ?
if you say not to use Microsoft azure then why should we use SharePoint 2013 on premises environment?
Thanks ,,,
Deepak PatelAzure, one of the larger cons is disk performance. Compared to on-premises, disk performance may not be enough without going to a higher level of VM (e.g. G series), which can turn out to be $1000+/month.
In addition, you'll need to establish a Site-to-Site VPN or leverage ExpressRoute to Azure in order to extend Active Directory to your SharePoint servers (for the servers and for your Active Directory users). You'll also need to consider adding one or more
Domain Controllers in Azure in order to have performant People Picker performance as well as Active Directory authentication for end users.
On-premises, these costs may be significantly reduced when spread out over a 3 - 4 year depreciation schedule, specifically for hardware.

Best logging option for SharePoint 2013 on-premise application
What is the best logging option for SharePoint 2013 on-premise application?
Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the logging option in SharePoint 2013.
SharePoint has its own logging system called “Unified Logging System (ULS)“, we can use the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred, we can use the
ULSViewer for more convenient log viewing experience.
Or we can log information programmatically.
There are some logging classes can be used, such as
SPMonitoredScope , SPDiagnosticsService, or create your own “Diagnostics Service” – which is technically just a new class inherited
from SPDiagnosticsServiceBase.
We can also utilize diagnostics.asmx web service for the client side applications.

Outlook 2013 crashes when opening Calendar search result
I have a user who uses her Outlook 2013 calendar extensively, mainly to note for herself when she has spoken to a customer, and creating appointments for when she needs to speak to them again. (This is outside of our policy to note the contact in
MS CRM.) She can have scores of such Calendar items each day.
When seraching for these appointments in her Calendar, she gets the list of results, but Oulook crashes when she tries to open any of them. Sometimes Outlook restarts on its own, sometimes she must relaunch it herself.
Related threads reference a wwlib.dll error, but she is not getting that. It is Outlook.exe itself that is crashing. There are other threads that reference other open windows, or items containing webpages or tables, but these do not apply to her, either.
Event Data (two related entries) contain the following:

On answers.microsoft.com, Girish M (Support Engineer who eventally directed me here), asked me to run Scanpst.exe. I would paste the results here, but this window does not seem to allow pasting. A summary description of what it found on her .ost file (no
.pst in use) is basically this:
**Beginning NDB recovery
**Attempting to open database
**Attempting to validate header
**Attempting to validate AMap
**Attempting to validate BBT
**Attempting to validate NBT
**Attempting to validate BBT refcounts
??Couldint find BBT entry in the RBT (E025CC)
**Attempting to validate header NID high-water marks
**Beginning PST/OST recovery
**Attempting to recover all top-level objects
**Store created by biuld: 15.4517
**Attempting to walk all folders
Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 719
Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6CD
Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6DE
Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6D8
and so on, and so on, with a few hundred more FLT RowID errors, finally ending with:
**Attempting to locate any orphaned folders/messages
**Performing Final HMP validation
**Attempting to check top-level objects for consistency
**Updating folder hierarchy
**Verifying message moves
My understanding of the Scanpst.exe process is that it also disables any addons which might cause crashing, but the issue is still being experienced. Running Scanpst.exe a second time (appending the previous log, although it seemed to actually prepend the
file) only returned a few lines from the top of the result above ending with "Attempting to validate BBT."
Fixes not attempted yet that I have found performing searches include running the Office Repair tool, or checking for KB2817631 (a Word update that is apparently having adverse affects on Outlook, not attempted yet because it seems to be related to the wwlib.dll
error, which is not happening here).
Any thoughts out there? Thanks!Mavis,
Thanks for the reply. Running Outlook using /cleansharing and
/cleanroamedprefs did not have any effect when used individually or in combination with each other.
Running the Search Index Rebuild option also did not seem to do anything, as the pop-up message indicated that it may take a long time to finish, and yet seemed to finish instantaneously, not giving any indication that the indexing took place. The option
window immediately said "Indexing complete" for 23,755 items.
As to the Outlook Forum, they are the ones who directed me to this forum (you can see the thread on the Answers support page under Office - Office 2013 - Microsoft Office Outlook - Office on Windows 7, under the title "Outlook 2013 restarts when
opening Calendar Search result item" first posted on Dec 11, 2013), as Girish M felt that it might be due to Exchange, and not Outlook. (I have no reports of any of our other users on the same Exchange server having the problem with their Outlook, but
they also do not use it the way this user has been.)
I can repost the issue there, or continue the same thread, if you think the issue lies with them. Was the "Answers" site the improper place to post, perhaps? Should it go in a different thread on Technet instead?
Thanks for your assistance!

I listed all updates because there have been reported instances of a Word update causing Outlook to crash, but she is not getting the wwlib.dll error related to that KB. If you are aware of any issues with these updates, and which ones might be worth uninstalling
in an attempt to fix, please let me know.

Outlook 2013 entries not included in search results
I have Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit. When I use Windows 7 "Search programs and file" via the Start button, the Outlook entries are included in the search results. Or rather they were until I recently updated to Outlook 2013. Now the Outlook entries
are missing.
I have checked that Outlook is included in the scope of the Search indexer. I have rebuilt the index from scratch. I have also explicitly added the Outlook PST file in the scope of the index. None of this helps.
The indexed entries are successfully retrieved from within Outlook itself.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks, PaulHi,
It is caused by the deprecated features and components in Outlook 2013:
Outlook search via the Windows Shell
Outlook 2013 will no longer surface search results for mail and calendar items in Windows Explorer (or via the start menu). Users can still utilize all of Outlook's search functionality from within the app itself.

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+<tab number> does not work, is that intended functionality?

In that case the plugin consumes all the key presses.
You will have to click with the mouse elsewhere on the page or in the user interface to make keyboard shortcuts work. -
