Anonymous Access Sharepoint Foundation 2013

Is it possible to allow anonymous access in Sharepoint Foundation 2013?  I've enabled anonymous access at the site level as well as via central administration but users are still prompted for login when browsing to the site anonymously.  I'm
more curious if this is an issue with the Foundation version specifically at this point.  Thanks.

Hi mtrosper,
Please disable anonymous access via the UI, then enable it using PowerShell, compare the result.
You can use the following PowerShell command to enable it:
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication 'http://someurl:9999'
$webApp.IisSettings['Default'].AllowAnonymous=$false
$webApp.update()
More information, you can refer to the link:

  • Users in new OU in Active Directory have to enter credentials when accessing SharePoint Foundation 2013

    Hi,
    We have a SharePoint farm consisting of one web front end server and one database server, running SharePoint Foundation 2013.  This farm has been up and running for over a year and uses AD for authentication, and SharePoint groups for authorization.
    The problem we are seeing is when we create a new Organizational Unit in AD, and add users under this new OU they are prompted for their credentials when trying to access SharePoint.  We've done the below tests to narrow the issue down:
    1) New user (xxx) in new OU (111) logs into Windows PC and tries to access SharePoint via IE 10 -- they are prompted for their credentials. They are required to enter their username as 'domain\username' to be able to log in successfully to SharePoint.
    2) Existing user (yyy), in existing OU (222) logs into same Windows PC and tries to access SharePoint via IE 10 -- they are NOT prompted for their credentials and get into SharePoint successfully.
    3) Existing user (yyy) is moved into new OU (111), logs into same Windows PC and tries to access SharePoint via IE 10 -- they are prompted for credentials and need to use 'domain\username' to log in to SharePoint
    4) Existing user (yyy) is moved out of new OU (111) and back into their old OU (222), logs into same Windows PC and tries to access SharePoint via IE 10 -- they are prompted for credentials and need to use 'domain\username' to log in to SharePoint
    Note: both the new OU (111) and old OU (222) are within the same parent OU.
    1 & 2 combined tell me that it's not a PC or IE issue. We've also tried 1 & 2 on multiple PCs so that would eliminate a profile issue as well.
    To me it seems that SharePoint doesn't know that the new OU is in our domain, so it doesn't think the users within the new OU are in our domain, which is why they have to supply the domain with their username when logging in...but I'm not exactly an expert
    when it comes to AD so this is just a guess on my part.
    As a long shot, what I thought may fix it would be by syncing AD with SharePoint by using User Profile Synchronization, but it's not offered as part of SharePoint Foundation, so I used this nice solution at CodePlex (https://foundationsync.codeplex.com/),
    but that did not fix it.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?  Or what the issue may be?
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    Hi Christopher,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I feel very stupid right now -- I did look at this before posting this question to the forum, but it seems I didn't look far enough. 
    We have a GPO that enters our domain into the 'Local intranet' of IE.  Our SharePoint site's URL is "http://sharepoint.ourdomain.com" and we've got "*.ourdomain.com" under Local intranet sites.  But, I also found the FQDN "sharepoint.ourdomain.com"
    under 'Trusted sites' and that seems to confuse SharePoint because once I moved the FQDN to Local intranet, and removed it from Trusted Sites, the user is now not prompted for their credentials when going into SharePoint.
    Thanks for your reply in making me take a second look.
    EDIT: We've just removed the FQDN from Local intranet, so all we have is "*.ourdomain.com" under Local intranet and it works as well.
    Regards,
    Shaun

  • Disappearing Sharepoint Foundation 2013 anonymous list submissions

    I have a custom Sharepoint Foundation 2013 list configured to allow anonymous submissions from a public facing website, but which requires admin permissions to view the full list content. Think like a contact form or an online application - anonymous users
    can submit a new item via the form, but get "permission denied" when attempting to access the list itself. I've customized the New Item .aspx in Sharepoint Designer, and I've also added a redirect page after submission for a "confirmation"
    page.
    This seems to work perfectly in all of my tests - but I have several dozen users who have reported correctly filling out the form, pressing "Submit," and being taken to the confirmation page, but the list item is nowhere to be found when I log in
    and look at the list. It appears that somehow Sharepoint is losing the new list item, while still redirecting users to the post-submission confirmation page.
    If it was a single user, I'd chalk it up to user error (not pressing Submit or something), but I have enough identical reports to verify that this is definitely happening and data is definitely being lost. I have similar reports from users of all 3 major browsers,
    both Mac and PC. 
    Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this behavior on demand - the form works fine for me no matter what I throw at it. There's nothing in the recycle bin, no validation errors (I've turned off all validation for the form), and I have tried every browser/OS combination
    I can think of. In every single test I have done, the form submits flawlessly, and the new list item appears immediately - even for a blank form.
    Any ideas? Where do I even start trying to troubleshoot this if it happens seemingly at random?
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts...

    Hello,
    Without being able to reproduce the problem I can imagine this will be a difficult one to diagnose. I would start by getting some dates and times from users from when they did submit items that they are claiming did not appear in the list. I would then look
    in the ULS logs around these times and see if you can see the item being submitted / created.
    Regards.

  • Sharepoint foundation 2013 : After doing backup cannot access the site "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you"

    I am using SharePoint Foundation 2013 , i have backed up the site using powershell with the following command:
    -backup-spsite -identity http://dmsserver/sites/demo/ -path C:\SPSiteBackup.bak
    After backup finished, i can't access the site, the message "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you" appears, even the site administrator collection is configured coorectly, with the  Administrator account.
    Whats the problem?
    Please Advice.

    Hi husseinsa,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not access the site after backing up the site collection in SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
    Could you access other sites at the same site collection?
    Let’s do a troubleshooting for this issue:
    Please delete the IE cache:  IE options->General->Delete, select all checkboxes, and click Delete.
    Go to CA->Application Management->Manage web applications, select the web application which hosts the problematic site .
    Click Permisson Policy, make sure there are not any deny policies for site collection administrator and site collection auditor.
    Back to the web application list page, click User Policy, check whether there are any user policies for denying permissions.
    Change the site collection administrator or add a secondary site collection administrator in CA, then use the new site collection administrator to log in the site, compare the result.
    Open IIS, expand the server, and click application pools.
    Find the problematic web application pool, make the identity of the pool is correct, then do an IISRESET, compare the result.
    If this issue still exists, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is
    : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    Or you can use Event Viewer(Start->Run->event viewer) to find the log.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

    Hi Reinhard ,
    According to your error message, it says that no data is available after  encoding the social notification mail message. It  should be caused by the E-Mail encoding setting.
    For troubleshooting your issue, please check the character set of your E-Mail Settings:
    Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group.
    On the Central Administration Home page, click System Settings.
    On the System Settings page, in the E-Mail and Text Messages(SMS) section, click Configure outgoing e-mail settings.
    On the Outgoing E-Mail Settings page, make sure
    Character set setting is  65001(Unicode UTF-8).

  • Error Accessing Host Named Site Collections In SharePoint Foundation 2013

    We have a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 server that has one web application two host named site collections. We get the "This page can't be displayed" message when we try to navigate to either of the site collections. Adding the server's IP to
    the host file on the machine we are testing from doesn't help. We can ping the new sites from that machine. The web application does not have a host header.
    Web application URL = http://servername
    Site collection #1 URL = http://customer.company.com
    Site collection #2 URL = http://vendor.company.com

    Hi,
    I recommend to verify the things below:
    Check if site can be accessed with site collection administrator.
    Add the SharePoint sites to a trusted zone to see if the issue still occurs.
    As this issue can be caused by many reasons, you may check the ULS log for more detailed errors.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    Best regards.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - March 2014 Update Issue - Need help

    We've just applied the SharePoint Foundation 2013 March 2014 Update, it always requires that we run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard at the end of install, but this time it's getting stuck at step 9 of 10 (the profile sync service cannot be
    started even as admin). Is anyone else having any issues with this update? Has anyone else applied it yet? Is anyone else planning to apply it?
    If anyone can help with advice on this I'd appreciate it.

    Hi,
    We can still access CA but sync will not start. Tried rebooting after the failed configuration and tried to run it again but it didn't work.

  • Using ADFS with SharePoint Foundation 2013?

    We have a WSS 3.0 web site used primarily for sharing documents with business partners who do not work for our company.  We plan on doing the 2 step upgrade to SharePoint Foundation 2013
    Our internal users also use it but normally just use internal network file shares if they aren't planning to share the documents with external users.
    Each business partner's company has a sub site within our main WSS site and documents are uploaded to that section of the site if we want to share documents with employees of that company. 
    Since we use AD for authentication, to make this work, we create AD user accounts for each external user and add them to a security group that gives them access to only their company's subsite on the main site.  
    We have to maintain their passwords, reset them and delete/disable them when that person no longer needs access.  Each business partner has a limit on the number of users who can get one of our AD accounts due to limits on the number of CALs available
    to them.  It is messy because these users often forget their passwords since they aren't using these accounts every day.  
    Is there a better way to do this so that we no longer have create and maintain user accounts for external users other than having to do a domain trust with all these other domains?
    I have heard of ADFS, but will it allow us to still control which sites and documents the external company users can access if we are not creating and managing the accounts and adding them to the correct security groups ourselves?
    We don't want every user from the partner's domains to be able to access the site.  If we use ADFS, how do we keep control of which external users have access to the site?

    Yes, you would add permissions just the same way you do with users from your local Active Directory. And yes, if you chose the email address to be the user's identifier, you would simply ask for the email addresses that you wanted and input those to the
    appropriate permissions on your SharePoint sites.
    You'll want to take a look at this:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2013/10/31/guide-to-sharepoint-2013-host-name-site-collections.aspx
    Also another thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to have those 3rd parties set up ADFS themselves, and you'll create an ADFS Trust between you and the 3rd party.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 installation question / guide.

    Hi All,
    I'm new in SharePoint and going to Install SharePoint Foundation 2013. What I want is after installation when I'll provide Site URL to my users they can able to access the site using there windows / system Login ID and Password which has been provided by company.
    Can you please help me what steps I've to follow while doing the installation also is it need to install SQL Server also for foundation. Please Advice
    Thanks

    Hi,
    SQL is the backbone for SharePoint and your SharePoint content (the content you actually store in your sites) is going into SQL. So, SQL is mandatory but if you are planning to use SQL Express (the lightweight edition) then you don’t need to install it separately
    – by selecting a Standalone type SP Installation wizard will automatically install SQL Express for you. But there are few limitations directly associated with express edition. Like Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition database cannot be larger than 10 GB etc.
    For a complete list please visit
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
    In order to access newly created site, all you need to install SP product and create a site using the site template, once done grant access to the required users via site settings page and that way users can access sites.
    I hope it helps you.
    Thanks.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 Managed Account.

    Hi all,
    I have a doubt, I want to register a new managed account in SharePoint Foundation 2013, My question is do I need to know the password of active directory user account which I am going to add as the Managed account.
    is it that the password which I enter while creating the managed account must match with the password of Active Directory user Account. Below is the screen shot in which there is a field for username & password. I know the UserName, can we assign any
    password to this or the password must match with the password given in AD.
    Please clear my doubts.
    Thanks.

    Adding more information :
     A Managed Account is effectively an Active Directory user account whose credentials are managed by and contained within SharePoint.  In addition to storing the credentials of the object, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 can also leverage Active Directory
    Domain Policies to  automatically reset passwords while meeting the requirements established by policy.
    How credentials are stored…
    Managed Account credentials are encrypted using a farm encryption key that is specified when you run PSConfig[ui].exe at farm creation based on the passphrase.  The passphrase is stored in a secure registry location so that it can only be accessed by the
    farm account and encrypted so that only the farm account has access

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - FBA Custom Login Page

    Hi,
         i am trying to enable FBA in SharePoint Foundation 2013 and it works fine for default login page
         but when i try to create custom login page ( which is already working without any problems in SharePoint 2010 )  i receive an error when i try to authenticate user using the following code :
             SPClaimsUtility.AuthenticateFormsUser(Context.Request.UrlReferrer, txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Text);
         i checked the Log file and found the following entries :
            - Application error when access /_layouts/CM Custom Login Page/Login.aspx, Error=Exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' was thrown.  Parameter name: httpApplication   at Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityModel.SPClaimsUtility.AuthenticateFormsUser(Uri

          -  Getting Error Message for Exception System.Web.HttpUnhandledException (0x80004005): Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown. ---> System.ArgumentException: Exception of type 'System.ArgumentException'

    check first whether you are getting context or not, to me it looks like issue with Contrext.Request.UrlReferrer
    try with this code
    Uri url = new Uri(SPContext.Current.Web.Url);SPClaimsUtility.AuthenticateFormsUser(url, txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Text);

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 AAM, alerts, URL in email alerts

    Hello all,
    I have the following situation.
    SharePoint Foundation 2013 server updated to October CU. Created an web application and extended it for internet zone. AAM are defined. This is a new farm. No content database was attached. No previously created
    alerts.
    I can access this web app with:
    http://servername for the default zone and http://internet for thw internet zone. 
    If i subscribe to receive alerts using the internet zone url the first email that i get contains correct URL to http://internet but the further emails regarding the actual changes contain references to the
    URL from the default zone http://servername excepting the mobile view button wich goes to http://internet....
    Thank you

    It is recommended that you use a single FQDN + SSL Url (if you have external access) due to issues with alerts like this.

  • Provision Search in SharePoint Foundation 2013 without Domain Controller / Active Directory - Domain accounts

    Hi,
    I have successfully setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 as single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts since DMZ doesn't have an Active Directory and hence Domain accounts using powershell as described
    in https://theblobfarm.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/installing-sharepoint-2013-without-a-domain-controller 
    When I run Farm configuration wizard to provision search service application, I get an error:
    ERROR: "The service application(s) for the service "Search Service Application" could not be provisioned because of the following error: I/O error occurred."
    The log file logged the details of this error as:
    ERROR: "Failed to create file share Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 at D:\SharePoint Search\Office Server\Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 (System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid
    that cannot be translated."
    After investigation, I found that potentially the error could be because the timer service is trying to setup a network share for analytics component (as part of provisioning search). It is trying to setup that share with a domain account that happens to
    be a local user instead in this case and fails with error “System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated”.
    I got some pointer from the below thread
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c8e93984-f4e5-46da-8e8a-c5c79ea1ff62/error-creating-search-service-application-on-sharepoint-foundation-with-local-account?forum=sharepointadmin
    However, the above thread doesn't state that the solution worked.
    I have tried creating share manually for Analytics_<Guid> folder but it doesn't work since every time farm configuration wizards is run it creates a new Analytics_<Guid> folder.
    Since, I have setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a production environment I cannot test and trial various solutions.
    Can some please guide me on how to successfully provision search for SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup as a single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts (without Active Directory - domain accounts).
    Thanks in advance.
    Himanshu

    Microsoft documentation doesn't always specifically call out all products (Project Server isn't there, either). But it does apply. You'll need to stand up at least one Domain Controller, or allow port access back to a DC.
    Preferably, set up SharePoint on the internal network and use a reverse proxy (which will terminate client connections at the reverse proxy) present in the DMZ.
