Configure an Environment for Apps for SharePoint 2013

hH,
We are building QA environment for Sharepoint 2013. For this my management asked me to configure the APPS store. But when i referred the MSDN article, they are suggesting
" You must purchase a domain name from a domain name provider for your apps, for example, ContosoApps.com."
Which is not possible in my case as purchasing a new domain requires lot of approvals also this is an QA environment.
So please suggest on the below points
1) whats wrong to build a sub domain like APPS.XXXX.COM instead of XXXXAPPS.COM
2) since it is in a QA environment, is it necessary to have a SSL ??
3) is it need to have a different APPS stores for QA & PROD environments.
Thanks,
Praveen
Sharepoint HELP

Hi Praveen,
you don't need to buy a domain use your internal DNS
no need for SSL since it is QA
i think you mean app catalog, each environment will be having it app catalog

Tool pane for selecting properties for app in SharePoint 2013(Something like webpart properties for apps)

How to create a tool pane for apps in SharePoint using SharePoint hosted app model 2013..I mean i m looking for something like webpart propeties to be given to the user for selecting desired content.Can someone provide help code for this functionality

Hi,
According to your description, when users select several items in a library and click a button, you want to get related data from these items/files and then perform
other operations.
Yes, the “Custom Action in Ribbon” solution would be a good choice for you cause what you need is only clicking a button after selected items in a list view page.
With JavaScript Client Object Model, we can get data of the selected items using JavaScript, then add the JavaScript code into the custom action to make it to be triggered
when clicking the button.
I would suggest you take a look at the two links below about how to work with custom ribbon button and JavaScript Client Object Model for a quick start:

Configure an environment for apps for SharePoint (SharePoint 2013)

I am trying to follow the instructions in the article, "Configure an environment for apps for SharePoint (SharePoint 2013)". I have purchased an additional domain for the apps. However, in step 2 it says to create a CNAME from that domain to my
sharepoint domain.
Which site do I point the CNAME to? I have 2 host-named site collections for my application.

Since you say there are no dumb questions here goes:
I think my web server is IIS. If that is the case, I have 2 sites in IIS, the "Default" which is the WHS2011 remote login page and "SharePoint-80" which is the name of my SharePoint application. There is nothing in IIS that
has My internal server name.domain.XXX. There is a domain name that came with WHS2011 of XXX.homeserver.com (the "Default" site). I purchased a domain for my SharePoint site collections. Again, neither of these uses my internal server name so
I know I am missing something here.
Thanks

Workflow is not visible for a list in an app in SharePoint 2013

Hello All,
I have created an app in SharePoint 2013 and added a basic workflow in this app.
Though the solution gets deployed successfully, workflow is not visible in list --> Workflow Settings.
Has anyone faced this kind of issue in SP 2013 App ? Please provide your inputs to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi Supratim,
I would suggest you that you try to analyze the workflow log and see where the workitem goes exactly.
See if the workflow goes into error or if the workflow gets routed to the wrong agent.
Also let us know how the agent determination is being done?
Is it been done using rule or is it static agent assignment?

Timesheet App in Sharepoint 2013

How to add timesheet app in sharepoint 2013.i tried but cant get the result.Please suggest me the correct way to add timesheet App in sp 2013.Using that i want to create Dashboard for displaying the Project details.
Want immediate solution for this.

I understand that you want to implement timesheets in SharePoint. In SharePoint 2010, there is an OOTB timecard list template. You can create a timecard list in this way:
Activate the Group Work Lists feature for the site.
Then open the site in SharePoint designer.
Click File>Add Item> More Lists.
Then you can find the timecard list template.
Or you can use the codeplex timesheet template. For more information, please refer to these sites:

My wife and I both have MacBooks (I have MacBook Pro and she has Air) and both are associated with my apple ID since I bought them. However, this means that Safari is linked for both her and I as well as our contacts etc. Can I still use mine ID for apps for her but associate hers with her own ID that I have yet to make?

Well with the MS Hotmail/Outlook.com account that is hard. But she should be able to link all of it to the iCloud system using her Apple ID.
I suggest you do a Google search for "link contacts, Calendars, iMessage with iCloud".
For some stupid reason MS has limited the syncing/linking of only emails and Notes with the Hotmail/Live Mail/Outlook.com system.
They have not included any Exchange features for syncing all that info. That is unless you are using Outlook 2013 and that is only for Windows.

pls. help.
The pop up error msg. is "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"

Hi,
According to your description, after you cleared job queue about force check-in then you can't access some pages in PWA.
Maybe you need to check in the pages which has been checked out.
If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:
Site Actions->View All Site Content->Pages->Hover the item you want to check in, and from the context-menu (arrow-down next to the filename), choose "Discard Check Out"
Besides, to troubleshooting the error “Sorry, you don't have access to this page”, refer to the following articles:

How to use OneDrive for Business mobile app with SharePoint 2013 on-premise?

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint 2013 (with latest December updates) that host a dedicated personal web site for users.
The OneDrive portal works fine and users are able to sync their files with the OneDrive client for Windows.
Now I want to test the OneDrive for Business mobile app on Android, but there is no option to specify the "personal" portal URL.
It asks only for domain credentials.
Does I need to configure specific records on my public DNS to allow mobile users to sync their files?
Thanks

I can confirm that with iOS you can connect to your SharePoint server through the advanced options.
But the very strange thing is that the OneDrive version for Windows Phone 8.1 is limited as the Android version.
This has no sense.
Why does Microsoft should limit the Business functions on its mobile operating system, and not on iOS?
Another strange thing is that configuring my Exchange account, Windows Phone 8.1 informed me that it has connected OneDrive for business (but is a fake information).
See attached image.
If I open the built-in OneDrive app, it give me the option to add a OneDrive for business account, but is only for Office 365 users (like with the Android version).
I thing that Microsoft should let at least to Windows Phone users to connect to on-premise SharePoint sites.

Configuring apps in sharepoint 2013 onpremises

Hi,
we have a lab environment for sharepoint 2013 with
1) Domain controller (domain : test.local)
2) SharePoint server { SQL Server 2012 (full install), SharePoint 2013 (full install)}
Now we would like to configure sharepoint 2013 apps in our environment. In the TechNet blogs and articles ,it says to create a unique domain for the sharepoint apps ... does this mean,we have to create one more domain (one more server) or just add
a domain in the DNS and perform the configuration ?
Below is the point from the TechNet article :
When choosing your App domain for each farm, you have 2 options:
1.Create a new unique domain to host your SharePoint-hosted Apps in, or
2.Create a sub-domain of the existing domain.
The recommendation is to create a new unique domain such as contosoapps.com rather than a sub-domain such as apps.contoso.com.
If you could help me out with steps for configuring the same .. that would be helpful .

Hi Suren,
it does not mean you need to create one more server, you just add a domain forward lookup.
Yes, the recommendation is create a unique domain which internally gets forwared to your domain.
You need to configure forward lookup zone for your apps (here in this example contosoapps.com), in layman terms it is just an alias for your existing domains.
I think you are refering to this URL -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236.aspx
and if you have already followed those steps mentioned in Configure the domain names in DNS (all hosting options)
and go to " To create a wildcard Alias (CNAME) record for the new domain name"
and do ping Apps-12345678ABCDEF.yourdomain.com
to see whether you get reply from above ping.
The steps that are given in the above link is easy to perform, do let me know where you got stuck.
Hope this helps!

Problem in configuring Apps in sharepoint 2013

Kerberos authentication prompting for credentials in Sharepoint 2013

Hello all,
I think I’m a bit confused on what I should expect out of Kerberos and sharepoint.
Following the steps located in
http://blog.blksthl.com/2012/09/26/the-first-kerberos-guide-for-sharepoint-2013-technicians/ , I’ve setup Kerberos in my Sharepoint 2013 environment. My hope was that configuring kerberos authentication would solve the issue of users being prompted for
credentials when they access sharepoint. I know that one way to address this problem is to tweak the IE settings by adding the site to the local intranet or trusted zones, but am I wrong in thinking that Kerberos should also authenticate the user on to the
site? Here’s my situation:
Previously, I had our sharepoint URL in the trusted zone and had IE set to pass my credentials through, and that worked. After configuring Kerberos, I can see the tickets on my system using klist and the security log on our web front-end shows that I authenticated
using Kerberos.
However, if I then remove the sharepoint URL from the trusted zone in IE, I still get prompted for credentials. If I cancel the credential prompt, I get a 401 error and the security log on the server shows a NTLM login attempt.
As soon as I put the URL back in the trusted zone, I can access the site and the server log shows a Kerberos authentication.
I’m I wrong in thinking that if Kerberos was working properly then I shouldn't need to have the URL in the trusted zone?
Thanks
Bill

Thanks for the quick reply, Alex. At least it’s good to know it appears to be working as designed.
Thanks again,
Bill

How to create column for attachment in SharePoint 2013 Document Library.
