SharePoint Online - Provider hosted App - Deployed in on-premise environment

Hi
We are evaluating SharePoint online and wanted to know if the following is possible? If yes, can anyone share his/her experience and issues faced?
We want to deploy a provider-hosted app to a on-premise environment. This app will need to connect to SharePoint online. What are the requirements from hosting perspective for the on-premise server? Does the server require anything specific so that it is
able to connect to SPOnline? Should it be outside the corporate firewall?
What is the difference between SharePoint online standard and dedicated plans, in the context of Provider hosted app. Are there limitations with respect to what can & cannot be done in a Provider hosted app in these environments?
How do I know if am using a SharePoint online standard or a dedicated plan? Where to look for?
I have seen few articles where the provider hosted app is deployed to windows azure and is connecting to SharePoint online. However this is not the case with us (i.e. we do not have windows azure for now)
Regards,
Deven

Sharepoint online provider-hosted app AppEventReceiver callout failed.

I've created an AppEventReceiver for sharepoint online provider-hosted app, I can deploy the app if i hosted the remote web application on MS Azure, it work fine. if hosted the remote web application on local machine IIS whith public ip address, when
I deploy the app online the following error:
The remote event receiver callout failed.
Details: There was no endpoint listening at
http://115.193.xxx.xxx:6666/AppEventReceiver.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
two question:
1. does the provider-hosted app, (remote web application )must host on Azure so that the AppEventReceiver (appinstalled) then trigger?
2. what need to do when host on local machine IIS whith public ip address?

try these link:

if you are using office365 for sharepoint then you can develope list using sandbox solution .

Hi sudesh,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “An unexpected error was returned from the delegation service" when you try to add a SharePoint 2013 Provider hosted App.
As the error message says, the clientId 'd12de581-316c-4224-b58b-e91ac2042150/www.SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.com@0d85160c-5899-44ca-acc8-db1501b993b6' is not a valid service identity when your SharePoint try
to get access token via ACS. Is there any plans to develop a low trust mechanism for non-connected scenarios? i.e. low trust provider hosted apps with no external connection, like say for a Bank who lock down external access. Please follow the
steps as the blog to set development environment for SharePoint Low-Trust Apps:

How to debug sharepoint 2013 provider hosted app?

We developed SharePoint 2013 provider hosted app using MVC 5 Entity Framework of Database first and publish in Windows Azure site as well as deployed that project to our SharePoint app Catalog. We need to change Windows azure site so we
changed to publish in another Windows Azure site and deployed again to our SharePoint app Catalog. No problem the app is working after we changed Windows Azure site. I am new of this technology I faced so hard of changed
existing Windows Azure site to New Windows Azure site. Please tell me how to debug the SharePoint Provider hosted app? Please tell me step by step process.

Can you please help me to solve this issue

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had issues about the provider hosted app.
Per the error, the issue may be related to the permission issue.
For a better troubleshooting, we can check with the following steps.
To norrow down the issue, please create a new and clean app to test whether it has the same issue.
You can check the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred when you deploy the app and open the site page.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

Provider-hosted app deployment error

Hi,
I am developing a provider-hosted app which programmatically adds the app part on Home page of the site. I wrote the code for adding the app part in App Installed event. It works fine when i debug it on my development site. Then i made a catalog site and

Hi,
The following blog for you to check:
SharePoint 2013 Domain Certificate for Provider-Host App Development Environment
http://rwcchen.blogspot.com/2013/12/sharepoint-2013-domain-certificate-for.html
Or try to add the following line within <system.net> tag
in your SharePoint site web.config:

<servicePointManager
checkCertificateName="false"
checkCertificateRevocationList="false"/>
</settings>

Thanks for the reply but I already tried the solution. My app works fine when i deploy it without app install event receiver but when i add the event receiver i face the error. Is there any limitation of using app install event receivers?

SharePoint 2013 Provider-Hosted App Installs, throws File Exists error.

I have a SP2013 Provider-hosted app with DevExpress controls that was working fine until just recently. I am getting the following error when I try to F5 DEBUG:
"Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': The file exists."
The app actually installs and executes but the debugger detaches very quickly plus it is prompting with the nagging aforementioned message. There are no AppUninstall / AppInstall / AppUpgraded events being handled.
Thanks in advance.

I tried retraction, cleaning, reinstalling - nothing worked. I tried a new app in the site collection and a new app in a new site collection - still no luck. In the end the problem was more simple, but the "File exists" error was not helpful in determining
the root cause. Perhaps others will hit this thread and find the solution helpful. Visual Studio will typically switch automatically to "Run as Administrator" mode whenever debugging a SP App for 2013. In my case, it wasn't. I had one or two existing Apps
that never prompted me but ran fine and in this case, new apps weren't automatically running as the Administrator. After changing this behavior the app (and new apps) work as expected.

Retrieve data from a list in SharePoint 2013 provider hosted App using CSOM

The remote server returned an error :(401) unauthorized in Provider hosted app deployment

Hi,
We are trying to deploy the provider hosted app in server environment . we are getting the "The remote server returned an error :(401) unauthorized" error after deploy the app in server.
stack Trace:
[webException:Te remote server returned an error:(401) UnAuthorized.]
System.Net.HeepWebRequest.GetResponse().
Followed the same MSDN steps , but sill same error. We have attached the certificate and using the same issuer ID in the app web.config.
Verified the IIS setting and still getting the same error when we call the "Clientcontext.ExecuteQuery()" method.
Same code is working fine in my Local dev environment.
If anyone have idea about this issue, please let me know.
Thank you,

SharePoint remote provider hosted apps - confusion around key questions

For some time, I have been trying to get a provider hosted app setup to work, and I am afraid that I - as a relative novice - must have missed some key points despite hours of googling and reading. Here's my questions:
A remote, provider hosted app, would have its AppWeb in a domain that is different from the host SharePoint Farm in which it is gets installed and used. In other words, the AppWeb may be located at remote.contoso-apps.com, where as the SharePoint farm uses
for instance spslocal.mycorp.com. However, when you - in the SharePoint host farm - set up your App Domain/App isolation - you can only provide one value - which in this case would then need to be remote.contoso-apps.com??? Does that mean that each SharePoint
Farm can only contain Apps from one vendor delivering remote apps? Or is the key in hard coding the app web in the manifest? (However, even if I've tried this it seems like the token SPAppWebUrl still translates into the pattern defined in the App Isolation
Settings in the host farm???).
Back to the AppWeb: Many bloggers have mentioned that you have to add some kind of SharePoint element to your App project (not the Web Project part) to get the AppWeb provisioned from Visual Studio 2013. But at what stage are these SharePoint elements actually
provisioned - during some kind of publish operation of the Web Project part (the Pages, Scripts etc.) or when you install the app package (hardly the latter, since the first installation may be when a customer installs the app???). The reason I ask is (of
course) that my SharePoint Elements do not seem to get provisioned. And just to test my very basic understanding: the AppWeb can be any pure IIS web site from the start - i.e., not a SharePoint Web App?
Thanks for any help on these challenging issues!

Paul,
thanks for your effort, but unfortunately the answers do not get me much further.
Question 1: You write "You can only use one domain, because cross-domain IFrame requests are blocked in SharePoint 2013". This is contrary to numerous other articles that explain how the SharePoint cross-domain library (SP.RequestExecutor.js) can be
used to communicate across domains. From the outset, the whole idea about an AppWeb is - according to Microsoft documentation - that the AppWeb should be isolated from the HostWeb and therefore in a separate domain.
This article,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj612823(v=office.15).aspx, even talks about scenarios where the SharePoint Host Web and App Web are in different security zones!
So according to a load of other documentation it is indeeed a valid scenario I am addressing, but I still miss the key answers to the questions above. I suspect that the key is to hardcode certain URIs in your app that points to the cloud AppWeb
(so the single App Domain specified in the Host Farm is not used at all), but I have failed to find the necessary documentation on this.
Question 2: The article mentioned does not talk about the issues that I have asked about, specifically when the SharePoint elements in the App are created.
Anyone with experience in this area? Thanks!

Getting Client Context in Class Library for Sharepoint 2013 provider hosted app

I have created an MVC Provider hosted app.
From my controllers I can easily get the client context via:
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(HttpContext);
But in my layout page, I have a call that gets the topnavbar and replicates it:
@foreach (var nav in HostHelper.GetNav(this))
<li class='static'>
<a class='static menu-item ms-core-listMenu-item ms-displayInline ms-navedit-linkNode' href='@nav.Url'>
<span class='addition-background ms-navedit flyoutArrow'>
                                                        <span class='menu-item-text'>
@nav.Title
</span>                                                   </span>
</a>
</li>
This causes an error because I am not sure how to get the clientcontext from my class. I have tried:
public static NavigationNodeCollection GetNav()
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(System.Web.HttpContext.Current);
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
if (clientContext != null)
NavigationNodeCollection topNav = clientContext.Web.Navigation.TopNavigationBar;
clientContext.Load(topNav);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
return topNav;                                       }
return null;
put it doesnt get the client context

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get SharePoint provider hosted app ClientContext in the layout page.
In the layout page, it needs to use TokenHelper Class to get access token and then retrieve the ClientContext.
Here is a detailed article for your reference:
How to Get SharePoint Client Context in SharePoint Apps (Provider Hosted / SharePoint Access ) in CSOM (Client Side Object Model)

Error with Provider Hosted App on Edit Form of a list item

We have an error on the Edit Form of one of our pages.
We have developed a SharePoint Online Provider Hosted app which replaces the standard edit form of a list item and has some further events behind the save button. Since this is rather new territory for us, we're using a roundabout way of achieving this by
using a script editor web part to display an iFrame of our app. That way we can pass the Url through to our app and retrieve query strings from them.
Our issue comes quite intermittently in that we sometimes get a "web page cannot be found" error or sometimes a "resource cannot be found" error, however, when we load another app on the site (from the same app project, but using an app
part), then go back to the Edit Form, the information in the iFrame suddenly renders.
Any ideas on what might be causing this issue at all? Ideally, we should be rendering the app to the Edit Form is the proper manner, rather than scripting an iFrame that points to out app in Azure. Would this be the cause of the problem?
Thanks
Tom

Hi thumper, if you have access to InfoPath, you can add the form to a page using the InfoPath web part. Otherwise, use SP Designer with instructions below:

A high-trust app for SharePoint is is primarily intended for use in an on-premises environment. The high-trust
app cannot be installed to Microsoft SharePoint Online, and the remote components are typically installed on premises, too, within the corporate firewall. Thus, the instances of the app for SharePoint are specific to each individual company.

SharePoint 2013 On premises provider hosted app - Logged in user info

As per my understanding, following scenario is not possible in a provided hosted app deployed for SharePoint 2013 on-premises.
1) User clicks the button of app on a SharePoint Site. Remote Web app page opens
2) Remote app page shows the message "Welcome [User Name]" (without authenticating user again)
3) If that user has contributor permissions in originating SharePoint site, the app should display "Welcome Contributor" otherwise it should display "Welcome Visitor"
Please let me know if above functionality could be achieved?

Hi,
According to your description,my understanding is that you want to show user information when clicking the app without asking credentials .
By default, SharePoint Provider hosted app is hosted outside SharePoint web application, so it needs credentials to get OAuth.
I suggest you can use SharePoint hosted app, it hosted at the same web application as SharePoint, then when you click the app, it will get the current logged in user without without asking credentials.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:
