Excel Services Connectivity on Sharepoint 2013 for external user

Currently , external user is able to refresh the data on sharepoint site through browser. the data connection is pointing the one of the external data source. But how can an external user (Internet user which accessing sharepoint through internet) download
a copy of excel in sharepoint library and open the excel workbook with data refresh ability at client machine ?
Do we need client machine to be able to access / ping the external data source?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
They want to perform data analysis and design their own report with own template , for example : to remove subtotal from the powerpivot tables which we cannot change the formatting at the excel services at browser level.
So if i understand correctly, we need to get the client machine to be able to access to the database server directly to get the access to the cube for data analysis although we had this odc file connection setup, am i right?
For internal user, network team should open port / access for them to access database server directly.
For external user, either to open public access to the database server directly or setup a VPN connection for the external user to access the database server in their secure network.
Let me know if i understand this correctly.
Thanks.

Dear Support,
please find below mention crawl log error in sharepoint 2013 for search services.
8,597 The server is unavailable and could not be accessed. The server is probably disconnected from the network.
423 This item could not be crawled because the repository did not respond within the specified timeout period. Try to crawl the repository at a later time, or increase the timeout value on the Proxy and Timeout page in search administration. You might also
want to crawl this repository during off-peak usage times.

would request your support for resolving this type of issue

1. Are you able to browse the sites on SP server. server is unavailable means that application pool
of that site is down. Check application pool on all server. if you start any application pool. make sure it does not stop few minutes later. you need to update password if it does stop
2. Create a disable loopbackcheck of registry on all servers

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926642/en-us
3. Create a new search service application and check if you face same issue.
4. I assume you have change some password or other setting when you started facing this issue. what changes were made in environment

Lync 2013 - Address Book Synchronization Issues for External Users

I recently deployed Lync Server 2013 in my organization. Everything works fine except for the address book synchronizing issues and the mobility access. I would really appreciate if someone could share their knowledge as I have done lot of troubleshooting,
not sure if I have missed something. Please note my setup below for the External Web Services.
Lync Front End:
Listening: 8080 4443
Published: 80 443
I have published my External Web Services URL and the following ports are open: 4443, 443, 8080
When I look at the Lync Client Configuration, ABS Server External URL is pointing to https://lyncexternalweb.domain.com:443/abs/handler. However, GAL Status is still pointing to my internal Front End FQDN: https://internal.domain.com:443/abs/handler.
For machines that are joined to the domain, the address books synchronizes with no issues. For machines that are not joined to the domain and for external users, GALContacts and GALContacts.DB files are not event generated for the users profiles.

Hi Anthony,
Please note the findings below:
1. I was checking the Lync Client configuration on one of the PC that is not joined to the domain, still on the domain network via site to site VPN connection. I noticed that the Connected Lync Server varies: sipinternal.domain.com, sipexternal.domain.com,
lync.domain.com (Pointing to the Edge Server IP).
2. Edge Server External Settings: Single IP address with the FQDN set to lync.domain.com for all 3 services and the following ports configured. Access Edge Service: 5061, Web Conferencing Edge Service: 444, A/V Edge Service: 443 with NAT enabled public
IPv4 address. I have checked the replication status between the Front End and Edge Server, it is up to date.
3. In regard to the https://lyncdiscover.domain.com, I don't have the lyncdiscover.domain.com published, but it is pointing to the NAT enabled public IPv4 address which is assigned for A/V Edge Services.
4. For the port forwarding, I am using the Cisco Meraki router.
Please advise if there are there is something that I am missing.
Thanks!

Installed SQL Reporting Services 2012 on SharePoint 2013 Server. SQL Reporting Service not available In the list of runnning services or new service applications

Hi I'm trying to setup SQL reporting services in a SharePoint 2013 farm consisting of:
4 WFE's
4 App Servers (NLB Central Admin x 4 servers)
4 App Severs for SSRS (Light limited SharePoint services running)
I've installed SSRS 2012 SP1 by following the guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492276.aspx) on one of the SSRS SharePoint 2013 servers and ensuring Reporting Services - SharePoint and Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products is selected.
All completed without errors and I have even upgraded to SP2 for troubleshooting but no joy.
I've then gone into SharePoint Central Admin and I cannot see SQL Reporting Service available In the list of runnning services on the server I have just installed SSRS on and going to manage service applications I cannot see in the new dropdown menu SQL
Reporting Services.
I have ran the following commands in the SHarePoint management shell:
Install-SPRSService and Install-SPRSSeviceProxy
and
get-spserviceinstance -all |where {$_.TypeName -like "SQL Server Reporting*"} | Start-SPServiceInstance
The reply was that the service was already online on the server.
So in powershell all seems ok but it does not appear in central administration.
I have also moved Central Administration to the SSRS SharePoint server too.
Any other suggestions? Here is the same problem but in SP2010 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6a21cc05-1f9b-49ad-a9bb-44aa5b3ce312/action?threadDisplayName=after-installing-sql-reporting-services-service-for-sharepoint-2012-service-is-not-in-the-list-of)
In my lab environment of a 4 server SP2013 farm it worked immediately when i installed it on the app server (CA host) so I dont think it is my install strategy.
I guess my next attempt is to install SSRS on an app server with central administration hosted.
Thanks

I had the same issue on 2 different environments.
I had 2 application servers. One had Central Administration. I installed SSRS on the other one and it never appeared in the Service Applications in SharePoint.
When I also provisioned Central Administration on the other application server and went to the service applications using Central Admin on that server, the SSRS service application was there.
Since then I always install SSRS on the server which hosts Central Admin. No issues then.

Connecting a SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client

Good Day,
Can someone please confirm if you can connect a SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client?
I have seen articles, like the one shown below for Outlook 2013 to SharePoint 2013;
http://www.sharepointgeoff.com/how-to-connect-a-sharepoint-2013-document-library-to-outlook-2013/
Please provide a link to documentation to validate what Outlook Office versions will support viewing Document Library from Outlook client from a SharePoint 2013 Document Library.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to review my request.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Per my understanding, you might want to connect SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client application.
Yes, SharePoint 2013 Document Library can connect to Outlook 2010 client application, the connecting process is similar as what SharePoint 2013 connect to Outlook
2013 client application does.
Thanks

Lyncdiscover reports HTTP 500 Internal Server Error for external users

Hello,
I have a problem providing lyncdiscover information for external Lync users. The same address works internal (prompts for file download) so I believe the problem is UAG/TMG providing the site which is not my cup of tea. I have a working external lyncdiscover
for other domain in the same Lync + UAG/TMG server environment. I have also checked the public DNS records few times and everything should be fine. Firewall also shouldn't be an issue since it reports the internal server error, right? Any suggestions what
should I check?

more information based on Lync Autodiscover Web Service Remote Connectivity Test.
Testing HTTP authentication methods for URL https://lyncdiscover.domain1.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/user.
HTTP authentication methods successful.
Additional Details
Testing HTTP content for URL https://lyncdiscover.domain1.comi/?sipuri=[email protected] has
token="User".
HTTP content isn't verified.
<label for="testSelectWizard_ctl12_ctl06_ctl00_ctl04_tmmArrow">Tell
me more about this issue and how to resolve it</label>
Additional Details
HTTP 200 status received from server, but no token="User".
Elapsed Time: 203 ms.
The same result goes for the other domain that provides the lyncdiscover information correctly for external users. It doesn't seem to solve the root cause but might help to understand
the problem.

Outlook Anywhere proxy changed from Basic to NTLM for external users

I have a Exchange 2013 environment that is also running Exchange 2010 coexistence (migrating). What is happening is autodiscover is handing out NTLM for the proxy settings and not basic. However when it is using NTLM we seem to get the password prompt over
and over. If I manually changed it to Basic then it works fine, but when autodiscover goes again it changes back to NTLM and prompts that the Administrator made a change and you need to restart Outlook.
I checked Outlook Anywhere and all my servers have Basic set for external users and NTLM set for internal.
I only have a few mailboxes on 2013 and 2010 mailboxes seem not to have a problem.
Here is an output for Outlook Anywhere on all six servers:
Identity : CAS01\Rpc (Default Web Site)

Hi,
Please refer to the following KB to set the Outlook Anywhere settings on Exchange Server 2013 Client Access servers:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2834139
If it doesn’t work with the resolution above, please do the following checking in ADSI Edit:
1. In Adsiedit, expand Configuration-->CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.
2. Right-click the listed database > Properties.
3. Check whether the msExchHomePublicMDB value is set to an available value. Please change the value to <not set>.
4. Click OK.
Then check whether the issue persists.

Access to my Office 365 third-party app for external user : "a User account is not registered for the account"

In my third-party web application of Office 365, I want to have access to the contacts, events and emails of all the users from the organizations who installed my app. The thing is I don't want that all these users have to grant me access, I just want one
admin of the org to grant access for my app and then be able to retrieve the data I need for all the users.
To test for one organization, I logged in as the admin and proceed to the Oauth2 authentication to retrieve the access token and in the first request (the GET one to retrieve an authorization code) i add the parameter
prompt=admin_consent.
With this access token, I can access the data (emails, contact, event) of the admin
for instance for the contacts
uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(adminemail)/Contacts
but not the data of the other users of this org with this uri
uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(useremail)/Contacts
The only thing I can do is retrieve an access token for each user but it supposed that each user has to authorize the access to the app but it's very cumbersome. So, i don't see what enables the parameter prompt=admin_consent and how to use it. Does anybody
know what it does?
And my question is: how can I do to access the data of all the users of one organization when the access has been granted by one admin?
Thank you!

This was answered on StackOverflow by Dushyant Gill. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25316175/access-to-my-office-365-third-party-app-for-external-user-a-user-account-is-n/25316678#25316678
You are sending the OAuth request to a tenant specific endpoint of Azure AD. Note the {key_provided} part of your Url - that part represents the tenantid or a registered domain name of an Azure AD tenant. Azure AD throws this error is the user signing in
is not a user in that tenant.
Multi-tenant applications like yours have two options:
Perform home realm discovery yourself and send the SSO request to the correct tenant-specific endpoint of Azure AD: when a new Azure AD organization signs-up for your application, record its tenant ID, and registered domain names. On your login page, ask
the user for their email and try to discover what Org they belong to using the suffix the email.
Use the common endpoint of Azure AD. Instead of the {key_provided} part of the URL, use 'common'. In this case Azure AD will determine the user's tenant and sign-in the user. The token that your application will receive will still be from the user's tenant
(iss claim).
2 is more convenient for apps. However #1 has an advantage when the user's Organization has customized their sign-in page with the company logo etc - in the case of #1 the user will directly be taken to the customized and familiar sign-in page.
I recommend a combination of the two: try determining the user's organization and sending them to the tenant specific SSO endpoint. If you're not able to - send them to the common endpoint.

Our exchange 2007doesn't send dsn message for external users but for internals it is ok, I check my configuration but all seems to be ok

How to secure BSP applications for external users on the internet?

I posted this question under Enterprise Portal forum but got no response. I am hoping some of you experts in this area can help.
We have developed BSP applications and set them up as iViews in Enterprise Portal 6. Our portal implementation will be used by external users.
We have security concerns that the access to the BSPs allows external users direct access to the R/3 system. We were told that we should use ITS application instead of BSP application for external users.
Do any of you have any insight into how we could work around the security problem with BSP applications, or BSP applications in EP6? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

In sense they are correct as to whether it is more secure or not would have to be a call by people who are more of an expert than myself.
But I can see there point the BSP runs directly on the system and uses the system security where as the ITS is basically just an RFC call. However for us we use a 620 server with BSP's and make RFC calls to our R/3 systems thus keeping people of the R/3 directly - however we are not opened to the Internet.
