UCES licensing - External Users

Has anyone had experience in regards to external user licensing and UCES. For example, I have a customer that will want to use the customer e Services. I have them create the user id and password, and they are able to perform the e services. Is this external user considered an SAP user and impacts to my licensing ? for example I may have 5000 people sign up for e Services in one month, ? how does that impact licensing from an SAP/Database level. Do I need a specific SAP License for this type of external user ? I have an SAP UCES solution and it's using an Oracle Db, and the UME to manage the users ?
Any help appreciated. ...

Andrew:
With the caveat that I am not in licensing...
E-services users are not considered users for licensing purposes (at least in terms of for SAP seats - vaguely similar to how HR ESS is licensed - people enter time but are not considered professional users unless they . The individual e-services account users have identities but map in the backend to a generic e-services user.

Licensing Requirements for External Users

We are using SharePoint Foundation. We allow non employees (clients) to access our SharePoint site to share files. These clients authenticate via Active Directory. Do we require CALS for these external users? If so would the External Connector
License suffice? In a few months we will be switching to SharePoint Foundation 2013. We will use forms based authentication for the external users. We've done some research on this topic, but the water is still cloudy.

SharePoint Foundation is covered by the windows license. If you have External Connector license for for all servers(SharePoint & SQL), then your it covered.
also check this post for more details.

SharePoint Online External Users

So I was taking SharePoint online for a test drive a few days ago. While I was looking at how users are given permissions to list and libraries I realize something that might
make or break SP Online for me. The out-of-the-box SharePoint Online implementation gives you one private site collection and one public website. Let just focus on the public website in this example. Now, by default the public website is at least viewable
to everyone. But what if I created a survey on my public website and only wanted members of the site to have access to it. I know that you can "Share Site" with external users. But can you allow visitors to your site the ability to create their own account,
and in turn fill out the survey? And of course without purchasing a license for every person filling the survey.
Jeffrey T McFarland

I'm not sure about making content on your public site private, but you can make content on your private sites public. You basically turn on external users for the entire Office 365 SharePoint Online account. Then you can optionally disable it
for certain site collections. That way, you can control who has access to what. This article might be helpful in explaining how external users works in SharePoint Online:

SharePoint 2013 CAL and External users

Hi,
We are setting up an extranet site(SharePoint 2013 standard version) on Rackspace, Both employee and non-employee will use this site. Employee will use company existing SAML 2.0 based authentication and non-employee will use FBA to login to
the portal.
I would like to know if we need to buy CAL for external users(non-employee)? What is the definition of external users?
Thanks,
Pat

Check out this post and this should answer all you questions.

Project Online External User Access

Hello,
I'm testing the Project Online Preview and I would like to share the deliverables list on a project site with an external user (a client for example); so I configured the site collection with Project Web App to the "Allow
external users who accept sharing invitations and sign in as authenticated users" option. Then I tried to share the list with an external e-mail with a Microsoft account, but the invitation email was not sent.
External Sharing on SharePoint admin Center is configured on "Allow both external users who accept sharing invitations and anonymous guest links"
and my PWA site works in S"harePoint Permission Mode".
The same procedure on a classic SharePoint site collection work perfectly.
Any suggestions, please?

Hello,
I got some of the external users to work. I am still trying to sort it out, but thought I will give you what I found.
The external user that I got work was another user in another domain, but the account was separate domain in a Office365. I have not been successful so far with an external account, that was not part of the Office
365.
Here is what I did to get it to work.
1) Login into an Office 365 account. Let's call it OFFICE999.
2) Then paste the link from my PWA site into browser.
3) Access was denied, but page provide me a link to Request Access
4) Then jump to my Office 365 account with PWA. Went to the PWA site and click on Settings icon and then site settings.
5) click on "Access request and Invitation"
6) under the Pending request, approved user and put the user as "Project Web APp Visitor"
7) Jump back to the Office999 and read my email, click on the link.
8) I got access denied again
9) When back to Office 365 PWA Admin account and added user to PWA users
10) went back to Office999 account, refreshed the screen and get access to PWA site,
11) BUT it says account doesn't have a LICENSE. So I am at that point trying to find out how to give an external user a license.

Huge Reports to external users

Hi ,
I have a requirement from BW, I need to send approximately 2 MB data to 1000 external users (different data based on their name/id). Can any one help me on the different way of achieving it?
I tried.. broadcasting (got memory issue), Portal(got memory issue), Infospokes (some users may not have servers).
Requesting an expert guidance on any alternate possibilities.
Regards
Sree

Hi,
Broadcosting will work, else dump the report in one drive and send it using through mail program.
Use RSCRM_BAPI and try to generate the report and dump it in folder and from there you send it using program,

Creating a link for external users to view my project

Hi -
I want to share my RoboHelp project with external users that do not have access to my company's internal server if I publish there. Is there a way to create a link to my project that I can just share with other people?
Thanks!

Hello again
Are you clicking the "view result" link? If so, the CHM should simply open. However, there are a host of things that can go wrong along the way and to figure out what may be happening we need to ask all sorts of questions.
Did you click View Result after it finished? If so, what happened? An error? Nothing? What?
Where are you attempting to compile the help? When you look at the properties of your Single Source Layout recipe, where are you pointing the output folder to? What is the file name?
Are you able to open and view other CHM files? Do you know what a CHM file is?
As you can see, there are many questions to answer. And probably others I failted to think of.
Cheers... Rick

Public SharePoint Online Site with External User Portal

Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p>
My company switched over to Office 365 a few months ago, and now would like to start using our Public SharePoint site to share information (documents
pertaining to their orders/drawings/etc.) with our customers (external users).<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I have seen documentation on how to share documents with individual users, but we were looking to do something a little bit different. We would ultimately
like to have a public site with generic company information (like hours, about us,directions etc.) that anyone can see.
We would also like to use SharePoint as almost an "FTP type" service where we could post documents and share them with individual
external
users. HOWEVER, instead of sharing individual documents, we were wondering if there was a way that an external user (that we have granted
access) could sign into the public SharePoint site, and then see information that ONLY pertains to them.
I have been doing some research on this, and I haven't seen that anyone else has tried this. Has anyone had any luck? Or would you have suggestions on how to make
this work? I had originally posted this question on the Office 365 SharePoint forum, and they suggested posting this question here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
did you finally manage to get what you requested here above ? Indeed, I am also struggling to set up the same (public website with individual content sharing with external authentified user).
For external user, I am quite sure that we need to go through MS ID creation (I have created some test users using https://login.live.com).
Our public website is done and (almost) working. I have then created a sub-site for the same, this one to manage permission based on authentified user
But I am stuck when trying to assign a document library with relavant permission.
Would be great to share our feedback and I have searched a lto on the web and did not find any satisfying answer to this design (If there is any... here is my doubt...)
Thanks in advance

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.

Can't Login to SharePoint as an invited External User / Can't Remove All Traces of External User with Microsoft Account

Hi TechNet,
I have an MS SharePoint Online (SharePoint Plan 2) team site, quite simple, one document library etc.
I have successfully added all users (E3) within the organisation to groups, and permissioned correctly.
I have added myself (separate organisation, also Office 365 E3) as an External User, and have access to the website without any problems by authenticating with my Organization account e-mail address.
I have a single user (separate organisation, also Office 365 E3), who's setup is identical to mine (Also Office 365 E3).
However, when this user is added as an External User, they are unable to login, and get "Sign In is not complete":
That didn't work
We're sorry, but [email protected] can't be found in the CLIENT1.sharepoint.com directory. Please try again later, while we try to automatically fix this for you.
Correlation ID: dc1f7f9c-092b-20b8-7b35-89348ba22f71
Date and Time: 3/20/2014 7:06:55 AM
URL: https://CLIENT1.sharepoint.com/
User: [email protected]
Issue Type: Partner User Invalid.
I then remove the user using the Site Collection, and using the PRofile Manager, and using Remove-SPOUser, and using Remove-SPOExternalUser. Which is great, he's gone. However when I go to add him back to a group, as soon as I type his e-mail address, it
'Resolves' into his full name! If I have completely(?) removed him form the site, how is he being resolved? And therefore me trying to remove him to re-add him to try and solve the user/directory/auth issue is not working.
Furthermore, upon clicking on said client's username inside SharePoint (after I've 'added him back' of course), his ID, in format: i:0#.f|membership|live.com#[email protected] has an entirely different e-mail address, his Microsoft Account!
I'm assuming he must have been already signed into his Microsoft Account when he clicked on the External User e-mail invite? If so, I clearly do not want this, how can I remove lal traces of his Microsoft Account, given that I have gone to the lengths as
detailed above?
I have already completed these steps: http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/148/p/228263/709905.aspx
Some possible further reading regarding Microsoft ID's and Organization ID's:
http://sergeluca.wordpress.com/2013/09/23/sharepoint-online-and-external-users-this-invitation-has-already-been-accepted-with-another-account-bug-or-feature/
Please let me know if you need any more information regarding this issue, and thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this situation for me and anyone whom encounters it in the future.
Regards,
Evanly.

Hi Scott,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond to my issue.
Certainly, it makes sense that regardless of where the invitation it sent, the user would authenticate with their Microsoft ID.
In my case, I want the user to authenticate using their Microsoft Organisation ID, that they use for their seperate Office 365 account.
This is the way I was able to log in, and worked great. With my client, they are unable to access Sharepoint because once they sign in with their Microsoft Organisation / Office 365 ID, they are told they are not in the directory, because their Microsoft
ID is in the directory and it doesn't match up.
I am simultaneously trying to 1) Remove all traces of this users Microsoft ID, which so far using the above steps, has been unsuccessful; and 2) Invite the user using his Microsoft Organisation ID, and have him authenticate with that (which is proved to
work, as my account uses this).
Looking forward to any more suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Problem with links for external user

Hi,
We´re using SAP NetWeaver Portal 2004s SPS 10 and we have a problem with links within notification-mails:
The link to the document (e.g. within a subscription mail) consists of "http:///...". Only user using the portal within our network can open this links. All external user can´t open this links. How can I change the URL so that our external user can open the links, too?
Thanks for help,
Sven Keller

We already have another URL for external usage. My problem is how to define that created links to documents and folder are automatically using the external URL.
If somebody receives an email (e.g. subscription) the URL to the folder is:
http://<portalserver>:51000/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public Documents/Documentation
But it should be:
https://<externalportal>/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public Documents/Documentation

From what I've read, it seems I need to do something with certificates. Is that correct?

Hi Lisa, thanks for the reply.
Which certificate? Is it a certificate from the other organisation?
The certificate for external edge interface.
You need to assign a public certificate to external edge interface.
Please also check the federated organization have public certificate for their external edge interface and the DNS SRV record for federation is created correctly for the federated organization.

Sharepoint 2013 - domain configuration, external users, creating subsite in site collection, moving subsites

Hello all, first of all thank you for reading this post. Please bare with me, I am new with this environnement. I have had several problems in past week trying to configure a local sharepoint server 2013, most of it went well but now I am stuck and I badly
need help! I intend to make sharepoint available through the Ethernet connection in my office.
Here is my config:
Sharepoint 2013 (local)
Microsoft SQL 2012
Microsoft Server 2012
I am able to access the sub-site I created in the Sharepoint Central Administration Web Application.
My first problem is, I created another Web Application with the following URL config http://intranet.[domain].com but I am not able to access it through my browser. It seems to point to bad IP I probably configured accidentally a CNAME on my hosting Cpanel
with the IP 192.168.1.199. So, When I ping the URL I do not get any connection. Just that it couldn't connect to 192.168.1.199. Now I added a CNAME on my CPANEL for the URL http://intranet.[domain].com --> 127.0.0.1. Is this the correct way to do it?
More information: The DNS manager has been configured following this tutorial:
Create SharePoint 2013 Web Application
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW7LT99eUMs
I am not too sure of the proper configuration for the IIS Manager.
Anomymous Authentication is enabled
Windows Authentication is enabled
Everything else is disabled.
My second problem is that I cannot invite any user to the site. Even the one that have the email corresponding to our domain. Will I be able to invite parent domain users if the Web Apllication is properly configured with the CNAME on the Cpanel?
I tried to activate the External user invitation feature from Site Collection Features but it's not in the list. I am logged in as an administrator but next to the wrench it says "System Account" (with an arrow pointing down) so I guess this is
the "logged in user as..."? Am I missing something here?
Any advices would be greatly welcomed. I've run out of ideas.
Much appreciated,
Herb

Hello Ramu, thank you for your fast reply.
Quote Ramu: "You have to create A record called intranet.your-domain.com points to your SharePoint Server
IP and also loop back ip address in the host file entry on the SharePoint server(127.0.0.1 intranet.SharePoint.com)"
Is this a record on our corporate website Cpanel? What should I put in the "Address" field of
the Record (we do not have static IP)?
For the loop back, is this on the DNS Manager of our local Sharepoint 2013 server?
Quote Ramu: "3.
if you want to publish this externally, then your site needs to publish in your Network and it should points to your public static IP in your public domain control panel(Cpanel)."
In the first scenario where I only want intranet access, should everything be OK with the above mentionedconfiguration a DNS Record:
Which address should it be for the record?
Should I assign a fix IP to our server like 192.168.1.55?
What if another desktop computer gets an IP conflict with the server
fix IP, or what if we have to shut down the server everyday will the server IP change ?
General question: From what I understand, it is possible to put a DNS Record on the public Cpanel from our corporate website with a local IP that will only be resolved
if accessed through the local network? Ex.: Name: intranet.[our-corporate-public-domain].com, Address: 192.168.1.55 ?
Much appreciated RAMU.

Herb
