SharePoint Connector to SharePoint Online

Question

Has anyone been able to push custom user profile properties in SharePoint Online using the FIM SharePoint connector?

Answer 1

While I couldn't get the connector to work, I did manage to create PowerShell that works ... so that means use your favoriate PowerShell connector and let it do the work for you .. here is the sample script I used. All I needed to install prior were the
SharePoint Server 2013 Client Components SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35585)
[CmdletBinding()]
param
[string] $Uri = 'https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com',
[PSCredential] $Credential = $(Get-Credential)
Add-Type -AssemblyName 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'
Add-Type -AssemblyName 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'
$SPOAuth = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials ($Credential.UserName,$Credential.Password)
$SPOCookie = $SPOAuth.GetAuthenticationCookie($Uri)
$UPS = New-WebServiceProxy "${Uri}/_vti_bin/userprofileservice.asmx" -Namespace 'SPOUserProfileService'
$UPS.CookieContainer = New-Object System.Net.CookieContainer
$UPS.CookieContainer.SetCookies($Uri, $SPOCookie)
$UPS.GetUserPropertyByAccountName('i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]', 'PropertyName').Values
$Properties = @(New-Object SPOUserProfileService.PropertyData -Property @{Name = 'PropertyName'; IsValueChanged = $true; Values = @(New-Object SPOUserProfileService.ValueData -Property @{Value = 'NEW VALUE'})})
$UPS.ModifyUserPropertyByAccountName('i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]', $Properties)
$UPS.GetUserPropertyByAccountName('i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]', 'PropertyName').Values
