Benefit of SharePoint 2013 sql server membership provider

Hi All, Please share your thoughts for this..
We are working with SharePoint 2013 public facing website with Form based authentication. Anyone can register and start using our site. We are storing
all the user related data in Active directory. As of now we are having around 25000 users in our portal . We are planning to move all external user information from AD to SQL membership table. Could you please suggest me to benefit of using SQL membership
instead AD

performance-wise, they're pretty similar either way (given a single dedicated role server).
security-wise, compared to SQL, AD makes some data easier to access (since LDAP queries can expose data to any user), but harder to hack (obtain copy of hashed passwords)
As far as management, there is NO management interface for the SQL membership provider... including USERS (reset password, lock/unlock account, etc), not just groups.
As far as SSO technology, SqlMembershipProvider is absolutely NOT an SSO technology. Not to say that it can't be used for logins, but authentication and single sign-on are two very different goals.
I would also argue that since you can't decrypt the AD passwords, the move to SQL is going to be a little difficult for users.
And, have you considered adding another AD server instead? With a little bit of fiddling around, you can add a dedicated AD server and prioritize SP authentication requests where you want.

SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Edition for BI Features - must be on SharePoint SQL Server?

I need to install SQL Server 2012 for a new SharePoint 2013 installation.
Let's say I want to use the BI features of SharePoint 2013 like PowerView.
I already have a separate SQL Server running SQL Server 2012 BI Edition that is used as the database server for our data warehouse and some apps. But this SQL Server will not be used to house the SharePoint 2013 databases.
Do I need to install SQL Server 2013 BI Edition on the SharePoint 2013 SQL Server (where the SharePoint 2013 databases will be housed) or can I used SQL Server 2013 Standard Edition on that server and utilize the BI Edition on the data warehouse server to
use the BI features of SharePoint?

Yes, BI or Enterprise must be installed on the SharePoint server in order to integrate SSRS. PowerPivot can be on a separate server with just a download (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35577) for certain components residing on
the SharePoint server. This will give you PowerView, as well.

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesnt show up in Search results

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesn't show up in Search results, Incremental crawl is working fine, i.e., its picking up newly added records in table to the Search, but the newly added content is not available in search
results page.
But when i do a Full Crawl, search results are showing up with appropriate content.
What could be the issue here?
Suresh Kumar Udatha.

This time on the Full crawl I got only 62 warnings and 12 errors and ~537.000 success. Warnings were about truncating the crawl documents because their content length exceed the configured for crawl. The 12 errors were "Processing this item failed because
of a timeout when parsing its contents." and "The content processing pipeline failed to process the item.". I think 12 errors is not much to re-execute full crawl. Site collection has one SP Site Group (with Read Permission Level). In this site group I have
only one AD Group added, so permission change is not a possible reason for re-crawl, plus nobody changed anything in this ad group. All documents are stored in 2 document libraries and there are no sub-sites. I want to access these documents trough search
(custom managed property restriction kql) but this way I have no mechanism to fast re-crawl only error documents from the first full-crawl (those 12). This is very strange and put SP 2013 Search almost unusable for my scenario.

Forms based authentication in sharepoint 2013 using custom membership provider

I am developing FBA for SP2013 using custom membership provider using the following link
http://benredl.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/creating-forms-based-authentication-and-user-profiles-in-sharepoint-2013-using-custom-membership-and-role-providers-and-a-custom-user-profile-synchronization-utility/
the feature i am trying to develop is that the user is created using a homegrown asp.net application which uses sql server
and then When that user goes to SP2013 he should be able to login with the username and password created using the homegrown asp.net application
my questions are following
If I follow the article in the link should i be taking the assembly(dll) and deploying it to GAC or will VS2013 automatically do it
Do I have to implement FindUserByEmail and FindUserByName methods ?
if the connectionstring for an asp.net application is in the web.config file where would the connection for the sqlserver go if this application is for SharePoint
TIA

Hi TIA,
try this it contains the code for you and it is ready

SharePoint 2013 & SQL Server Reporting Services

Hi there,
We are developing a web application in sharepoint 2013 in which we are using authentication mode="Windows”. We have used a custom web part containing report viewer control for showing charts and reports, that we have
developed using SSRS ( *.rdl files) and have all the .rdl files within Sharepoint Document Library.
To start with, we were getting the error “Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error. (rsSharePointError) The user does not exist or is not unique.” To fix this, we changed <identity impersonate="false"
/> from <identity impersonate="true" /> at web.config level which did the trick.
However, we are now facing another issue wherein tabular reports are renedered ok in SharePoint through report viewer custom web part but chart based reports are not rendered. The chart image is not displayed.
Can somebody please help with a resolution?
The code snippet for rendering the report is given below for reference purposes
Thanks in advance
Monica

SharePoint 2013 + SQL Server 2008 vs 2012

I am trying to determine the best course of action when building a new SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Farm. Should we use SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2012? I have found some information online, but I wanted to know if there were more pros and cons to SQL
2012 over 2008. Can anyone tell me if my short list is adequate enough? Also, are there any integration concerns with other applications that I may need to look out for by using SQL 2012 that don't exist in SQL 2008?
The list of benefits of SQL 2012 over SQL 2008 I know of include:
AlwaysOn
Read-Only Secondary
Contained Database
ColumnStore Indexes
Shredded Storage
PowerPivot BI
Reporting Services BI
Are there any negatives to using SQL 2012?
Thanks,
Alex

Alex,
The only negatives I have seen are
1. You must be careful that the AOAG configuration is supported. For many cases like the config DB, Async mode is not supported for DR.
2. Microsoft has not published their support stance for Many DBs yet.
So for example for "App Management Service Application" DB or "Secure Store" DB Microsoft says
To be determined. Currently not supported because testing is not finished.
For a complete list look here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj841106.aspx
So although AOAG is a great option technically (and perhaps in the long run the strategic option) I would like Microsoft to complete their testing. (unless one is ready to take risk and go where MS itself hasn't gone)
val it: unit=()

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server 2012 PPIV - using a PPIV workbook as a data source - getting PPIV web service error

I created a PowerPivot (SQL Server 2012 SP1) workbook and uploaded it to SharePoint 2010 Portal and started using it as a data source in an excel file. This worked fine and we saw no issues with it until we moved to SharePoint 2013 environment.
I uploaded the same PowerPivot workbook (source workbook) to SharePoint 2013 Portal and now trying to use it as a data source. I tried to change connection properties so that I could use the new portal address for the workbook. When
I try to save my changes, I see that OLAP queries are getting fired "Refreshing OLAP cube" shows up in the status bar, but eventually after running these OLAP queries (I would say after a minute), I get the following error -
Couldn't find anything specific in SharePoint logs or maybe I wasn't looking for the right thing.
Has anyone seen this issue? Why would PPIV service throw an error after running for a while? Is it a timeout issue of some kind? How can we take care of this?
Thanks,
Sonal

ULS log showed the following exception: The maximum number of allowed sessions per user has been exceeded.
Under Excel Services global settings, max limit is set. Default is 25, increasing it resolved this issue.

SharePoint 2013 SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer (Web Part) - IE Tab Title

Hi,
We are using a wiki Library to create page with SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer Web Part.
Everything is working great except for the Internet Explorer tab, instead of giving me the name of the Report it is showing the name of the web application. All the other wiki pages is working fine.
Regards,
Social Technet Microsoft.

Hi Brysk,
Is there any difference between the problemaitc page containing the webpart and other working wiki pages for showing the title name in IE tab?
The IE tab should show the information in tag<title> of the page, please check if it is correct for that page (using F12).
Also check if it is related to IE browser compatibility issue.

SQL Azure Membership Provider.

Hello!
I have an ASP.NET WebForm application that use SqlServerMembershipProvider. I want to upload the application to Windows Azure and Sql Azure.
Now I have a Sql Server 2008 database, and membership tables are part of my application's database.
Can I continue using Sql Server Membership like I've been using until now?

I'm after exactly the same thing. Just stuck on what the membership provider settings should be. All the searches online are suggesting ..
<membership defaultProvider="TableStorageMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="20">
    <providers>
     <clear/>
     <add name="TableStorageMembershipProvider" type="Microsoft.Samples.ServiceHosting.AspProviders.TableStorageMembershipProvider"
       description="Membership provider using table storage" applicationName="WebFormAzureStore" />
    </providers>
   </membership>
..but that results in an error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to link SharePoint 2010 Enterprise with SharePoint 2013 Search Server raises error

Hi,
I am currently working for a multinational who has SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed, 2 WFE SERVERS, 3 APP SERVERS, 1 DB SERVER. They also installed SharePoint 2013 Exterprise recently.
   Microsoft have recently come in and set up the SharePoint 2013 Search Server to crawl content in SharePoint 2010 as the replacement search to SharePoint 2010 Search. So they have gone through process of certificates and permissions
setups I guess. I was told it was working, but recently failed. When I type in the search box on a web site for SharePoint 2010 I get the message:
         The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
I checked the Event log and the Critical error (in Task Category:Timer) I get is the notorious:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlReportJobDefinition (ID fa882704-80d9-415b-9b9d-eae5e9bdefd4) threw an exception. More information is included below.
        The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration
        component. Verify that the administration component 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-
        e5431a180c2b' in search application 'Search_Service_Application' is in a good state and
        try again.
I know administration component is the crawler. I am assuming this is permissions.
The SharePoint 2013 Search Server is picking up SharePoint 2010 site collections items fine i.e. The SharePoint 2013 search shows items from 2010 as expected.
On the SharePoint 2010 central admin box the search service enabled and running (checked with powershell). (SharePoint Server Search 14)
The Search Service id: e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5432a180c2b
I also get the message in event log for gatherer on SharePoint 2010 CA and Search Server:
       Could not access the Search database. A generic error occurred while trying to access the database to obtain
       the schema version info.
       Context: Application 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5431a180c2b'
Details:
            (0x80040e09)
Is this permissions to delete something from crawler??????
I would appreciate if someone could help on this. I have tried to be as concise as possible.
Thanks.
John.

It was a case that someone had fiddled with the Service App Associations. Hadn't ticked SharePoint 2013 search. Was still point at 2010. Thanks.
The SharePoint 2013 Search works correctly for SharePoint 2010.
Can someone confirm that the Search Service Application on SharePoint 2010 still needs to exist and hence SharePoint Server Search 14 Service still needs to be running? I am guessing it would as you search from 2010 interface not 2013. I am getting a critical
error in the Event Viewer:
CrawlReportJobDefinition (Id <SharePoint 2010 Crawler>)
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component <crawler id> in search application "Search Service Application" is in a good state and try
again.
I think this is related to the fact we have SharePoint 2013 doing the search instead of 2010.
Any ideas?
John.

Network Load Balancing between SharePoint 2013 App server and WFE

Hi,
Can we do NLB between SharePoint 2013 App server and WFE Server ?
Below is our Architecture,
1. WFE Server (1)
2. APP Server (1)
3. Database Server
4. Domain Controller
We have configured NLB but, when we stop IIS on APP server, SharePoint 2013 web app link is not working.
is it possible ?
Please help us

You can do NLB between WFE and APP server however make sure that web application service is started from central admin which host sharepoint sites.
Why do you stop IIS on APP server, definitely it will not be able to host web app sites. rather you can just disable APP node on NLB to test it.

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Reporting Services Add-In

Hi,
In our old SharePoint 2010 environment the "SQL 2008 R2 Reporting Services ShrerPoint 2010 Add-in" has been installed which in turns provides the "SQL Server Reporting Services Report Viewer" web part.
I have upgraded the Farm to SharePoint 2013 and SQL 2012. Where I can get the the add-in above that is compatible with
SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013?
I have found an add-in here for SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2010, but not sure this is compatible with SharePoint 2013...
Many Thanks,

I have SQL 2008 reporting Services SharePoint 2010 Add-in.
for SharePoint 2013 we are using the SQL server 2008 Sp1. I think it is not possible to use SQL server 2012 SP1 for the report Services in SharePoint 2013.
Please suggest me to use the report services in SharePoint 2013 with Sql server 2008 SP1.
