Connecting SharePoint to OID

Hello,
I already have SharePoint integrated with OID. When I try to connect to OID through LDAP Membership Provider (in the file web.config) I succeed only if credentials are orcladmin and orcladminpassword. I have another user called eservicesadmin which has delegated administration over cn=external, cn=Users, etc.. and cn=external, cn=Groups, etc... It has all the rights of orcladmin on those 2 subdomains.
If I try to use eservicesadmin credentials instead of orcladmin in the following I get an invalid credentials error.
<membership defaultProvider="LdapMembership">
<providers>
<add name="LdapMembership" connectionUsername="cn=orcladmin" connectionPassword="********"
type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Security.LDAPMembershipProvider, Microsoft.Office.Server,
Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
server="OID HOST" port="3060" useSSL="false" useDNAttribute="false"
userDNAttribute="uid" userNameAttribute="uid" userContainer="USERCONTAINER"
userObjectClass="person" userFilter="(ObjectClass=person)" scope="Subtree"
otherRequiredUserAttributes="sn,givenname,cn" />
</providers>
Any thoughts on how to allow eservicesadmin to connect to OID and use only the external branch?
This is very urgent so thank you for your prompt reply.

Integrating MOSS with OID, I get the error msg "unable to discover search base from specified directory service connection" while creating a new connection using LDAP Connection Type. Please let me know the steps that you took to integrate with Oracle LDAP if possible. I will really appreciate if you can point me to the right direction. Thanks,

When connecting SharePoint Foundation 2013 contacts to Outlook 2013 in Outlook it is read only.

Hello.
When I connect Sharepoint 2013 Calendars and Contacts to Outlook 2013 I receive the message " You cannot make changes to contents of this read-only folder" if I try to insert a new contact or a new appointment in SharePoint through Outlook (in
Account Settings of Outlook, in the SharePoint tab I have "Server version=Not available" and "Permissions=Read Only").
The same users, through the SharePoint web page, insert a new contact or a new appointment.
Thank you.

Office Web Apps 2013: SSLOffLoad, Cannot connect Sharepoint.

Hi,
Background.
We have a 2 machine SharePoint 2013 farm and a 2 machine Office Web Apps Farm, both of which are behind a load balancer. Our public DNS holds the records for the two farms: webapps.company.com and sharepoint.company.com. However these domains are not in
the internal DNS and cannot be resolved internally. I've put these in the hosts file on the respective machines, so they can talk to each other.
I'm now at the point where I need to connect SharePoint to the OWA farm. I've followed the guide here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455%28v=office.15%29.aspx
and setup the OWA farm by the specification under the heading "Deploy a multi-server, load balanced, office web apps server farm that uses HTTPS".
My creation string
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://machinename.domain.com -ExternalUrl https://webapps.comapny.com -SSLOffloaded -EditingEnabled
That went ok and the farm is created. I then added the second machine
New-OfficeWebAppsMachine -MachineToJoin "machinename.domain.com"
Now that the farm is created i went ahead and ran
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com
But that just gave me "WARNING: The Server did not respond. Trying again"
Adding the -AllowHttp flag let me continue, but that ended up giving me error when i created or opened a document in Sharepoint.
So my guess is that i need to figure out why i cannot use New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com without -AllowHTTP.
It was my understanding that we don't have to setup SSL on the individual farm server as the load balanser woudl take care of that.
Any ideas as to why New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com won't work?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post
Regards.

Because I’ve not configured my OWA machine to be published to the Internet so I have to use its Internet-public IP. It’s not a recommended best practice. In your case, the external URL would be http://owa.abc.com
. Above I’m not using SSL certificate
to encrypt data over the Internet. Just add CertificateName parameter if you want to use whether CA-issued certificate
or self-signed certificate. Finally, check both internal URL (http://app03/hosting/discovery
) and external URL (http://198.xxx.xxx.xxx/hosting/discovery
) to confirm everything is working
well. Your screen should display XML structure.
Now you need to re-bind all SharePoint machines to WAC farm using New-SPWOPIBinding (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219441.aspx
). Next, you just need to set the WOPI
zone for external use even there is an internal use in your SharePoint environment.
1
Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-http”
Finally, configure Excel service and then upload an Excel workbook into a document library and check it. Below are the screenshots of OWA working on both internal and external environment.

Permissions for connected SharePoint sites

hello forum members,
can someone please explain to me how do permissions work for connected SharePoint sites if Project Server set up to use Project permissons instead of SharePoint ?
Another question I have is that our environment was once set to use SharePoint permissions , then changed to use Project server permission mode. I checked on one user who could not login to Project Server and when i clicked on "Checked Permissions"
on a ribbon - it showed that this person had full rights, but when i went to check on Project security group - he was missing there. It was very confusing.
Does "Check Permissions" actually works when environment set up to use Project server mode permissions?
tatiana

On top of the very good Paul's explanation, here is what happens behind the scene:
case 1: you assign a resource to a project task, you save and publish project:
A hard coded job will parse assignment table and will put :
Project manager (MS office project synched) role to the project owner
Team member (MS office project synched) role to resources with assignments
In addition, 2 additional jobs will give suitable permissions to the resources part of security groups of PWA:
1 gives access to PWA site (to access my tasks, time sheets...)
the other one gives proper access to the resources who have dynamic rights(ie: if they are part of a PWA group that has a category, for instance, giving read to anyone who has Same RBS as project owner
Case2: you add a resource in PWA as part of a security group
1 job for PWA top site + 1 job for each project of server will give suitable rights to the new resource.
Case3: you change the permissions of an existing security group (more exactly to the category set to the group )
1 job for PWA site + 1 job by project will populate on each project site the new permissions. Mind to do that out of peak hours or you'll have a big slow down.
Case4: you add manually permissions directly in the project site. In this case one should never add people in an synched group or rights will Be overwritten during the next project publish.
note there are known bugs for large data set when many synch jobs stay in the queue: we can have jobs conflict and a general permissions loss. On top of that, a sync job including people whose active directory accounts are bad (having left the company
for instance) can block permissions syncs.... We demonstrated this fact to Microsoft and we are working on that with them...
hope this helps

Connect SharePoint to SQL Server Database Then Build Rules Based Returns System

Hello Guys,
I work for an ecommerce business. We sell a wide range of products to customers all around the world which are ordered from our websites and then dispatched to our customers from our warehouses.
I have been tasked with developing a computerised return system from the company because at the moment everything is done using paper forms.
We have all our customer, order and product data within SQL Server databases.
What I would like to know is...
1. Can we connect sharepoint online to a local sql server database
2. Could we then build searches within sharepoint to display data contained within these databases e.g. customer information etc
3. How is the data presented in sharepoint - is there a way to design how the data is displayed within sharepoint etc?
4. Can we then build a rules based return system within sharepoint? The on screen workflow would need to vary according to data contained within the database e.g. the weight if the product being returned and also on fields input by the service agent such
as the reason for the return, what solution the customer would like etc.
5. is it possible to build these workflows in such a way that they can be saved part way through then gone back to later
6. Can reports be build based on the returns that are being generated e.g. list of products most commonly returned
Sorry for all the questions, I am a bit of sharepoint novice. I think it may possible be able to do what we need but I just wondered if the answer to any of the above questions is definately a no because if it is that could mean it is not suitable
Thanks

You could use a BCS connection
http://community.office365.com/en-us/b/office_365_community_blog/archive/2012/10/11/business-data-connectivity-services-in-office-365-sharepoint-online.aspx, this will allow you to edit data in your non SharePoint SQL DB, on premises, from Office 365 SharePoint.
Search will index the web applications you point it at, and the lists from the BCS will be part of those web apps, site collections, sites at some place and will get indexed.
You can create views on the data, that can sort of work like a search, but when you search on the site where the lists are the query will return results based on the BCS data.
These views can be based on criteria such as the weight of the product being returned and other fields.
The data is presented as a list.
You can make it read only or read-write based on SharePoint permissions on the list. The account used to create the connection can edit.
BCS is possible in on-premises SharePoint too
here is a good read on it,

Connected SharePoint Sites listing Projects eventhough "Do not create a site" is set

Hi
Is it normal to see a list of projects in the PWA > Server Settings > "Connected SharePoint Sites" eventhough we have configured the config settings to "Do not create a site"? Is it actually creating sites or is it just listing
the projects that are store in Project On-Line ?
Note, only the names of projects display no other fields in that table are populated?
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hello,
If no site URL is there it is normal, all project names are listed there regardless.

Possible ways to connect SharePoint Office 365 to External databases

Hi,
Is there a way we can connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases and also is it possible for these databases to feed data to SharePoint Office 365 rather than SharePoint pulling the data from these databases.
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, it is not feasible to connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases by OOTB. But you can consider deploying the Business Connectivity Services (BCS) which can access data from WCF Data Services and SQL Server Azure Connectors.
Also you can consider three part tools.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

How to connect SharePoint 2013 and Reporting Server - SQL Server 2008 - in native mode

Hi,
We are running Report Server on a SQL Server 2008 environment in NATIVE mode.
We just installed a SharePoint 2013 environment. The SharePoint roles are installed on a single server and we are using a seperated SQL Server 2012 server.
The goal: Display reports created on the Report Server in SharePoint 2013.
The problem: I cannot get the two environments connected.
I've read a dozen or more blogs but are currently more confused then before.
What are the steps I need to take to connect the two environments?
What options do I have in displaying the reports in SP2013 - do the reports need to be on the Reporting Server or can I add them to a document library... or are there other options?
Thnx!

Hi Sander,
Thanks for posting your issue, Have you activated required SharePoint 2013 features in your site collection? also, Install Report builder Model in SharePoint 2013.
