SharePoint 2007 + Java InfoView (Kerberos SSO v/ Vintela)

At one point I was able to get the Document List web part working with SharePoint 2007 + Java InfoView, but now I'm back to getting the dreaded error:
Unable to access the BusinessObjects Enterprise infrastructure at RP-BOEXI31 for user: . Contact your reporting administrator for assistance.
Kerberos SSO w\ Vintela works flawlessly with InfoView on its own, but I can't seem to pinpoint why I'm having this issue. I can get it to work with .NET InfoView (NTLM) without a problem.
I enabled tracing, but where does this information go to?

<add key="BusinessObjects Enterprise Trace Enabled" value="True" />
So I've looked at various logs on the SharePoint server in these locations without any luck. Does anyone know of any other logs I should be looking at when tracing is enabled?
The Admin Guide states:
Tracing provides you with stack trace information and web page configuration
options that can help you to understand any issues in greater detail. For
example, if you see an unexpected error message, and tracing is enabled,
the tracing information is listed at the bottom of the same web page where
the error occurred. Scroll down to see the tracing information provided by
SharePoint for the web part.
However, I havn't been able to decipher in that information anything that sticks out.
Log Locations Reviewed Already:
- C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS
- The various W3SVC* folders under C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\
Also - I was able to get it to work temporarily when I enabled NTLM in the SharePoint Admin Console as I didn't see any reason to be running my SharePoint services using an SPN of any kind since it is on a seperate server than the BOE web tier and just passes the credentials to InfoView.
Edited by: Jay Riddle on Apr 1, 2009 4:07 PM

Somehow I don't think that is the issue because when I use the PIK in combination with .NET InfoView using NTLM SSO, the credentials pass fine and all the web parts work. I've enabled prompting of authentication in the web.config and have tried the domain\user format as well as just the user format manually - but this doesn't work with Java InfoView using SSO regardless of the format the user credentials are entered in. I'm continuing to test multiple different variables and may create a separate image with Java InfoView with a new SPN in order to ensure it isn't something with the BOE image.
One odd thing is I had at least the Document List part working briefly when I changed the SharePoint Authentication zone to NTLM instead of Kerberos (which has IIS use NETWORK SERVICES run the services). One day it just stopped working.

Java InfoView SSO

Dear Experts, the SSO for .NET works fine with my setup except that the if i try to login from a user workstation, it prompts me for username/password while i have already enables "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" in IE Advanced tab. I'm currently installing BO XI 3.1.
I was not what else I could do to make it work.
Another problem is that I'm trying to setup Java InfoView SSO and I find that all documents wants me to use Vintella. While I remember I never used Vintella in BO XI R2.
please guide me from here.

Does that mean (what you' re saying) that without Vintella, the Kerberos SSO will not work with Java InfoView?
Exactly kerberos and vintela are the same thing in regards to java invoview they essentially allow java intoview to be set up the same way as IIS when doing integrated windows authentication.
If I do http://server.domain.com/InfoViewApp/logon.aspx, I get "Network Error (dns_unresolved_hostname). Your requested host "server.domain.com" could not be resolved by DNS.
This is your main problem both the hostname and FQDN URL's rely on the FQDN SPN (most of the time) You appear to have a DNS issue preventing that from being resolved. You can try adding the FQDN of the server to your local client host machine.
The IP will not work unless you have also added an IP SPN to the account (which is not done by default)
Working on the server indicates SSO is setup on IIS/web.xml/BO but Microsoft forces NTLM on the local machine so kerberos is not being tested in this case. You may need to open a case with the authentication team if unable to find the issue.

Tim

Configuring Kerberos authentication SSO with Vintela: SSO in multi-domains

Business Objects XI 3.1 with service pack 2.
We have a distributed environment with:
- 2 web servers:
- 4 application servers.
All servers belong to the following domain: xxx.rocca.spa.it and we have defined in that domain a service user: yodbowebi.
I followed the document of Tim Ziemba and the users of xxx.rocca.spa.it can access the Infoview in sso.
Following the Kb 1199995 (Error: "The Active Directory Authentication plug in could not authenticate at this time" (FQDN registry key) and the Kbs relating to the configuration of the file krb5.ini, the users of another domain (rip.net.contr) can access but they cannot access in single sign on, that is they have to log on specifying the user + @rip.net.contr.
Therefore my problem is the following. How can the users of the domain rip.net.contr can access in SSO considering that now they are able to access manually?.
It is defined an external trust beetween XXX.ROCCA.SPA.IT and RIP.NET.CONTR
This is my krb5.ini:
[libdefaults]
default_realm = XXX.ROCCA.SPA.IT
dns_lookup_kdc = true
dns_lookup_realm = true
default_tgs_enctypes = rc4-hmac
default_tkt_enctypes = rc4-hmac
forwardable = true
udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
XXX.ROCCA.SPA.IT = {
kdc = SERVER100.XXX.ROCCA.SPA.IT
default_domain = XXX.ROCCA.SPA.IT
RIP.NET.CONTRA = {
kdc = SERVER200.RIP.NET.CONTRA
default_domain = RIP.NET.CONTRA

OK so you have SSO enabled for users of the local domain (meaning they click on infoview and it auto logs them in) correct?
and if you login manually(typing in username locally and username @DOMAIN.COM for remote domains) in tomcat everyone can login?
And the only thing failing is SSO from remote domains or a remote domain?
If that's correct let me know normally muklti-domani SSO is easier to configure than manual is (because of the krb5.ini) SSO does not use the krb5.ini. Test if you can login to client tools (deski/designer/ccm) with the users from the remote domain (use domain\user)

SharePoint 2007 Excel Web Access automatically Reload Wook

Greetings, thank you all for looking. I would like to use the Excel Web Access web part in SharePoint 2007, but unfortunately I cannot get the data being displayed in teh web part to be current unless I physically select
actions/reload workbook. I was hoping that someone can provide me with a quick fix for this issue. I do not have the ability to install any customized web parts but I do have access to SharePoint Designer and I do have Full Conrtol
of the site.
Thank you again for looking at my post.

Hi h0mely,
I would suggest you the following thread:

Make sure the data connection library is added to trusted location.
If you are using NTML for authentication, use SSO or None for the data connections excel serviced authentication settings, if Kerberos, make sure it is configured correct.

Integration Option for SharePoint 2007 and Edge?

Does this support Edge 3.1? I know that in the official documentation for the Sharepoint 2007 PIK it never said Edge was supported, but I see posts indicating people have gotten it to work with Java InfoView.
However, is Edge 3.1 supported for the larger Integration Option for SP2007? Also, I assume it would be only for Java InfoView since Edge utilizes a WACS vs. standard .NET SDK.
Please advise.
Edited by: Jay Riddle on Oct 6, 2009 12:14 AM

The newest release of the sharepoint kit called internally (ipoint) should work fine with java infoview. I haven't set this up my self and you may need to open an incident with support to verify if Edge supports the newest sharepoint kit.

Can Xcelsius Enterprise integrate w/ Sharepoint 2007 with Xcelsius Webparts

Hi,
Our organization is thinking about investing in Xcelsius Enterprise. We have Crystal Reports 2008 and Sharepoint 2007 running. Can Xcelsius enterprise connect to both and can I implement a realtime dashboard on Sharepoint 2007. I'd like to create a dashboard in Xcelsius and publish it to Sharepoint 2007 as a swf file and have the flash object updated automatically. Can someone confirm that Xcelsius enterprise will work? Will it do it through webparts? Also can I duplicate the same dashboard on Crystal Reports 2008 InfoView site? The dashboard on Sharepoint would be mutlipaned and have some KPI's if I can set them up against the dashboard information.
Thank for your help.
Dominic

Anyone? I can't believe no one has tried this with Xcelsius Enterprise?

Duplicate appSettings section using SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit

We have installed the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit on a MOSS server and are successfully viewing reports in SharePoint.
But, when we ran the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, the appSettings section of the web.config with only the Business Objects settings within gets duplicated. This causes all of the SharePoint sites which use BO to go down becauase of the duplicate appSettings section.
Have you seen this behavior and is there a newer version of the integration kit available which may repair it?
Thanks,
Eric

As mentioned earlier we will have a native 64bit support for SharePoint 2007 64bit, probably next year.
It would be enhanced version of SharePoint 2007 PIK with functionalities at PAR with .NET infoview.
I will like to put a disclaimer mentioning that plans are subject to change

Integration SAP iView in SharePoint 2007 IViewWebPart

Hi All
I have a problem with using SharePoint 2007 IViewWebPart. I configured trusted SAP hosts and I do not know what to write in the <SsoAuthentication Name="<MySAP>"/> element. SsoAuthentication Element specifies the SSO application to use when authenticating to the SAP Server. I tried the following: SAP, xApp, xApps and some other but it does not work. I have the following error:
"The single sign-on application associated with this IView is not found. Contact your administrator to correct this problem".

How can I filter a Sharepoint 2007 libarry list based on current user login?

Hi all.
I would like to know how I can filter a SharePoint library list based on current user login.
Suppose I have created the followings:
1) A SharePoint form library containing bunch of uploaded InfoPath form data.
2) The InfoPath form template contains a promoted text field called "TargetUser" to store user domain login (ex: DOMAIN\JOE) and every InfoPath form file in the library has a valid domain name stored in the "TargetUser" field.
I have created a custom view for the form library and would like to filter this view so only items whose "TargetUser" field matches current user's login ID are displayed.
I went to Edit View page to customize the view and tried to use the [Me] function but I got a "Filter value is not a valid text string" message instead when clicking OK. Apparently [Me] returns a Person/Group data type and the filter cannot compare its value
to that of "TargetUser".
I tried using text functions (ex: TEXT([Me],"") hoping to extract default string value from [Me]. The filter accepts the parameter without any error but the resulting fitlered list does not display any items at all.
I have googled this subject for hours but I have not found any solution.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me to create a functional filtered list.
FYI, my SharePoint 2007 installation is just WSS 3.0 + Form Server. I do not have MOSS 2007 (so no MOSS 2007 web parts or web services).
Thank you.
Jason

Here's what I usually do in order to accomplish this. Ultimately you'll need to have 2 different fields. There's the one you already have, with DOMAIN\username stored in it. Then you'll need an additional field as a "person" column type.
Call it "TargetPerson" or something.
Create a sharepoint designer workflow that runs each time an item is created or changed. One action:
Set FIELD to VALUE.
The first FIELD is "TargetPerson", the VALUE is your "TargetUser" field.
Once this is done, then the person value is stored in the person field. This is the field that you can filter by "TargetPerson" is equal to [Me]

Sharepoint 2007 - Creating a form to capture timesheets data, but need to track updates to previously submitted data

Hi,
We are using a basic version of Sharepoint 2007 and do not have access to InfoPath. I have created a list to allow team members to submit their weekly time on specific activities. How do I go about tracking any changes to previously submitted data?
For instance, a team member enters 5 hours for Activity 1 and submits on April 1. on April 10 they realize they submitted too few hours and want to go in to edit the 5 hours to 12 hours.
From a reporting perspective we already pulled a report (export to excel) and have the 5 hours listed for April 1. If the user goes in to edit their time sheet from April 1, we don't want the data to just override the 5 hours, we want some sort of flag to
show the hours went from 5 to 12 hours. How do we do this?
As a work around, I added a question at the beginning of the survey/list asking is this a new submission or an edit. I thought if they select edit and were taken to a screen that allowed them to select the date (April 1), the activity and the new hours that
I would have all of the previous data plus these 3 columns with the additional data: "Edit", "Activity 1", "12". Instead the original data was over written and all I show are blanks for the previous questions and the edited
info ("Edit", "Activity 1", "12").
What suggestions do you have so that I can maintain the integrity of the original data and flag for my Project Manager which data needs to be changed in previous reports.
Thanks in advance!
AA

I think the best way to answer your question would be to create a simple form and try various submissions. Be aware that unless the e-mail system is controlled, e-mail submission is not recommended due to client configuration issues of e-mail. Your question sounds like online submission would already be something you are comfortable with. In that case you can submit form data in 3 different ways: HTML, FDF, or XML. It can also be submitted as a PDF by saving the form, but that does not sound like what you need and also gets into issues of whether folks are using Reader or Acrobat.
Also be careful (or try both) about using forms from within Acrobat and the forms created by the link in Acrobat to Designer. Once you go to Designer with the form you can not come back for editing in Acrobat. Normally you would create the basic form in a word processor or layout tool and then add the form fields in Acrobat (or Designer if that is preferred).
I will let others address the anonymous and yet confirmation check issue.

SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) migration to SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi
I have a requirement to migrate a SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) farm to a SharePoint Foundation 2013 farm. The WSS 3.0 farm has SQL Server 2005 Standard running so no restrictions on the size of the content database. The SharePoint Foundation 2010 and 2013 farms
will share the same SQL Server 2012 Standard instance (as I know WSS 3.0 will have to be migrated to 2010 before 2013). I also have two other WSS 3.0 farms (so three WSS 3.0 Farms, lets call these A (250GB), B (90GB) and C (60GB)) that I need to migrate
into WSS 3.0 Farm A before the migration to SP 2010.
My question is, can I migrate a 400GB WSS 3.0 site collection to SP 2010 or will I have to split this into separate site collections? I have read that there is a best practice limit of 100GB per site collection but this does not stop a larger migration from
happening. Obviously over time when the migration has completed to SharePoint Foundation 2013 the single site collection will grow and grow so perhaps now is the right time to split this out into, say, year named site collections, but surely this will incur
an end of year process to create new site collections and a custom dev headache due to different locations to send newly created sites?
Thanks.

The answer is Yes, and you are correct about the best practice of a limit of 100GB,
although, document and record centers (e.g. non collaborative) can go much higher.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx#ContentDB
That being what it is, your sites will perform better if you find a topology that allows the content databases to be under 100GB each. You can use Move-SPSite to accomplish that feat.
You'll want a separate instance for 2010 and a separate instance for 2013
and finally, put some quota's in place and then governance document\statement that informs users that 100 GB is the max for any given site collection that uses collaborative features (calendars, lists, workflows, etc.)
The simple path is explained on technet, go from 2007 to 2010 (you can inplace upgrade if you want) then go from 2010 to 2013, database detach and attach is only way.
please check the below link that explains more about the migration from share point 2007->2013.

How to auto populate data from one list in SharePoint 2007 into another list based on a key value?

Hi,
As a part of new requirement in my project I am supposd to work on SharePoint 2007. I have one List (BCExtract - Main list) with all data related to an Application (like ID, name, app manager RTO etc).
I have created another list which has form to be filled by a user (with details about his/her applications). My requirement is that when the user enters AIT ID then the page should refresh (probably after hitting enter) and other details like Application
name, RTO etc which is present in another list gets auto populated depending on the AIT ID (unique column) entered so reduce the burden on the user.
Please suggest me how this can be done. I do not have permission for obtaining SharePoint Designer and I do not know JQuery. Infopath is ok but if this can be done through SharePoint 2007 alone then it would be great.
Thanks....

Hello,
You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:

http://spservices.codeplex.com/discussions/468729
If you use infopath form, then you need to create two data connection to get data from both lists. Later you can set value in fields based on selection using rule. This can be possible without code.

Urgent : proc_MatchSchedSubscriptions blocking SQL process (and so SharePoint 2007). Event log is managed by this procedure and contains millions of entries

Hello,
We have an intranet platform with 8000 users on SharePoint 2007.
We currently have issues every day around 9am or 8:30am : The intranet is not responding (white page loading during minutes) until we kill a process in SQL that is blocking every other process.
The process that is blocking other calls a procedure called : "proc_MatchSchedSubscriptions"
This procedure manage 3 tables :
SchedSubscriptions
EventLog
EventSubsMatches
We notice that the Table EventLog has 1.3M entries after 4 days (this table is cleaned every weeks right ?).
This is a really an issue because if we don't kill the process, the intranet won't work at all. We have to do that almost every morning.
Thanks you by advance,

Assuming that you are on the latest SharePoint patch level, I would recommend opening a ticket with Microsoft. Any edits to the SQL databases will result in your environment being in an unsupported state.

Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document

1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

Hi,
It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

SSIS SharePointListAdapter error while exporting a SharePoint List from SharePoint 2007

Thought, this was List size problem, but small lists still do not export.
Also, the same lists perfectly export from SharePoint 2010 using the very same component.
Any solutions for this error ?
Thanks in advance

I think you need a lower version of the adapter that targets SP 2007
