User Profile Synchronization for FBA Users in SharePoint 2010: Any successes?

Ok, so I've got my user profiles importing using forms authentication and my configured authentication provider (ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider) and profiles are importing (account name is domain\username).
However when the user logs in they don't receive this profile. Instead a second one is created in the format i:0#.f|provider|username and is not synced to their AD account (our business requirements require that we use FBA for authentication against Active
Directory).
Has anyone tried or had any success in syncing FBA profiles?

I opened a support case on this issue and talked with Microsoft support (for 5 days).
What they told me is that you can NOT have both Windows accounts and FBA LDAP accounts both synchronize with the same Active Directory. The reason they say is that the account GUIDs are the same and the UPS will see that as a duplicate so it does not add
the LDAP account after the same Windows account has been synchronized into the profile database.
They tell me I have to write a script to synchronize the FBA LDAP accounts. I told them this is a product defect and I shouldn't have to write a script to do what the Profile Service is suppose to do out of the box. Microsoft needs to provide a hotfix for
this defect.

  • User profile synchronization service wont start after SharePoint Service pack SP2

    Hi
    -Using SharePoint 2010 with 1 appserver and 2 frontend webservers on Service Pack2. (ms server 2008r2, SQLServer2008r2).
    -Farmaccount has been set to local admin on all sp servers.
    -Firstly, the User Profile Service Application runs fine and is started. Dont mix it with the User profile synchronization Service.
    Prior to installing SP2 User profile service application and user profile synchronization service were running fine.
    The first thing I did after the installation of SP2 was running the:
    -psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait
    As SharePoint setup user (spadmin).
    This ran fine on the 2 front end web servers.
    However i got one fault on the Appserver:
    I have also tried:
    PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures
    which led to same resulting error.
    So I tried to start the Use profile synchronization service as suggested manually by logging on with the Farmaccount, starting the user profile synchronization service through Central Administration. This led to Stuck on Starting status. 
    The windows services Forefront had status starting, then stopped.
    One question:
    Prior to starting the User profile synchronization service through Central Administration. What account and startup status should the 2 Forefront Windows Services have? (Automatic and local system?) or (Automatic and Farmaccount?) or (Disabled and Local
    system?) or (Disabled and farmaccount?). Because i know that SharePoint UPA will provision these services though Central Administration. However what is the default state prior to starting the Synchronization service?
    So i continue...
    Since it was stuck on starting i stopped it with:
    stop-SPServiceInstance -identity <upaSyncguid>
    which gave me:
    Stop-SPServiceInstance : An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administrat
    ion.SPServiceInstanceJobDefinition named "job-service-instance-36bdf2ef-58f2-45
    e5-8f78-ab75f646611a" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Admi
    nistration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4". Rename your object or delete the
    and i could fix with:
    #Stop the stopping:
    stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype "Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ProfileSynchronizationService, Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles,
    Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" -servicename FIMSynchronizationService
    I also removed the forefront certificate from personal - certificate store, as this is provisioned when user profile synchronization service is provisioned.
    That set the Central Administration Status on the User profile synchronization Service to disabled. Fine.
    Everytime i tried to start the user profile synchronization service (logged on as farmaccount), left it for 10-15 min and did iisreset and restart sharepoint timer service, and also tried rebooting the appserver. No change.
    A thought, is it important to restart timer service and do iisreset on the two frontend servers after trying to start the user profile synchronization service on the appserver?
    I'm getting to the point were i just want to delete the whole service application and set it up anew...
    any tips will be greatly appreaciated.

    You're very welcome, hope it helped, if not the I suggest you clear the configuration cache as follows.
    The config cache is where config settings are stored locally on the Microsoft SharePoint server, so a SQL call isn’t required.
    To clear the cache:
    Stop the SP Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
    Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
    Services.
    Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer, and then click Stop.
    Close the Services console.
    On the computer that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and on which the Central Administration site is hosted, click
    Start, click Run, type explorer, and then press ENTER.
    In Windows Explorer, locate and then double-click the following folder:
    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID
    Notes
    The %SystemDrive% system variable specifies the letter of the drive on which Windows is installed. By default, Windows is installed on drive C.
    The GUID placeholder specifies the GUID folder. There may be more than one of these.
    The ProgramData folder may be hidden. To view the hidden folder, follow these steps:
    On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    Click the View tab.
    In the Advanced settings list, click Show hidden files and folders under
    Hidden files and folders, and then click OK.
    You can also simply type this directly in the path if you do not want to show hidden files and folders.
    Back up the Cache.ini file. (Make a copy of it. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE, Only the XML files in the next step)
    Delete all the XML configuration files in the GUID folder (DO NOTE DELETE THE FOLDER). Do this so that you can verify that the GUID folders content is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is rebuilt.
    Note When you empty the configuration cache in the GUID folder, make sure that you
    do NOT delete the GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
    Double-click the Cache.ini file.
    On the Edit menu, click Select All.
    On the Edit menu, click Delete.
    Type 1, and then click Save on the
    File menu. (Basically when you are done, the only text in the config.ini file should be the number 1)
    On the File menu, click Exit.
    Start the Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
    Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
    Services.
    Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer, and then click Start.
    Close the Services console.
    Note The file system cache is re-created after you perform this procedure. Make sure that you perform this procedure on all servers in the server farm.
    Make sure that the Cache.ini file in the GUID folder now contains its previous value. For example, make sure that the value of the Cache.ini file is not 1.
    Check in the GUID folder to make sure that the xml files are repopulating. This may take a bit of time.

  • User profiles with multiple login accounts in SharePoint 2010

    Hello,
    Consider the following scenario:
    We have Active Directory that is accessible inside our network. Except the sites, accessible from the corporate network, we are exposing SharePoint sites from the same farm on the internet, using claims based authentication with ADFS 2.0 using the same
    AD instance as in the intranet.
    The problems is that the claims based accounts are not linked to the profiles, that are created for the users by the User Profiles Synchronisation service.
    Is there a way to configure the user profiles so if our users are signing in from internet, to access the same profiles that they have, when accessing the SharePoint sites from intranet?
    (I've searched a lot, I didn't find excat solution. I've found something related to SPCLaims properties and had confugred them to sync with the AD using the "claims" trusted connection, but the problem remains.)
    This is simmilar to allow our users to login using their Facebook, Google, OpenID identity or the identity in our AD. How can this be done?

    SharePoint user profiles are not populated automatically when using claims-based authentication methods. You must create and populate these profiles yourself, typically in code. Users that map to existing accounts when you migrate to claims-based authentication
    will use any existing profile information, but other users and new users will not have profile information. For information about how you can populate user profiles when using claims-based authentication, see "Trusted Identity Providers & User Profile
    Synchronization" at
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brporter/archive/2010/07/19/trusted-identity-providers-amp-user-profile-synchronization.aspx.
    The same limitation occurs when using SharePoint Audiences. You cannot use user-based audiences directly unless you create custom code to support this, but you can use property-based audiences that make use of claims values. For information, see "Using Audiences
    with Claims Auth Sites in SharePoint 2010" at
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2010/06/12/using-audiences-with-claims-auth-sites-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx.

  • SharePoint 2013 User Profile Synchronization service problem

    After one week trying (three clean installs of SharePoint 2013), I haven't succeed to start "User Profile Synchronization service".
    Environment:
    Domain environment with two Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controllers. 
    Fully qualified domain name matches NetBIOS name (domain.com - DOMAIN)
    Two tiers: SQL Server 2014 enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2, and SharePoint 2013 SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    I'm using named SQL instance for SharePoint (<SQLSRV>\<SHAREPOINT>), and SQL alias on SharePoint app server.
    All SharePoint prerequisites are installed successfully.
    SharePoint 2013 is installed successfully.
    Hotfix 2760265 is installed (before configuring SharePoint)
    SharePoint is configured successfully
    Preparing MySites host:
    MySites web application is created with separate AppPool, and with address https://my.domain.com.
    Certificate used is wild-card cert (*.domain.com), issued by trusted local PKI

    I've even tried with adding farm account into domain admins group :)
    After trying to to start user profile synchronization service, service is in "starting" state about 5-10 min, and then returns to "stopped" state. 
    ULS log shows the following exceptions:
    ILM Configuration: Error 'ERR_CONFIG_DB'

    I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
    P.S. I can't stop asking myself is it was really necessary to develop such complex, problematic, and log-tells-nothing software just for getting user info from AD? Honestly, after more then decade experience as software developer and software architect -
    I must say I doubt...

  • Temp-Contract Worker User Profile Synchronization in SharePoint 2013

    Hi All,
    I was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on what is the best practice for configuring Temp or Contract worker user profile services in SharePoint 2013. We have had lot of issues within MySites when we make these types of workers AD account inactive
    and then active again when they come back on projects. The user profile synchronization does not work correctly and MySites has issues loading the profile etc. Also in the same context are there best practices for Name/Title/Department changes as well. 
    thank you for your feedback!

    Given what you describe I assume you've created a user profile Sync connection filter to remove disabled AD accounts from the user profile sync.  That's why you are running into problems.  When a user is missing from the import their profile is
    deleted within an hour or so, but their MySite isn't deleted for 14 days (to allow time for a manager to clean it off).  If the user is reactivated within the 14 day period their old mySite is still there, but is no longer referenced by the new profile
    that is created.  So When the user goes to their profile it tries to create a new mySite where one already exists.  It can't do that.
    The same thing will happen if you delete the contractor's user account, but then recreate them in AD when they return.  The only way to fix it is to make sure both the profile and mySite site collection in /Personal/ have been deleted before re-adding
    an old contractor.

  • To find out the list of user profiles marked for deletion using powershell or C# for SharePoint 2010

    I have Disabled the MysiteCleanup timer Job and disabled few user profile accounts in AD.  Then in SharePoint user profile service, ran the User profile full synchronise job.
    I am able to find the marked for deletion records from the table (UserProfile_Full) in SQL server and also in the Manage User profile menu of the central admin under "Profile missing from import"
    view.  But  am not getting these records, If I execute the  below powershell command.
    $upa = Get-spserviceapplication -name 'User Profile Service Application'
    Set-SPProfileServiceApplication $upa -GetNonImportedObjects $true
    This command shows only the system account and not the accounts, which are marked for deletion .
    Please suggest how to get this result.

  • FIM EVENT ID 3 when starting User Profile Synchronization service

    I am having issues getting the USP Sync Service to start correctly in our 2013 Farm.  
    We are using a named instance for this install and from what I have read, it looks like that is the issue.
    In the ULS I find this error "ERROR  ILMPostSetupConfiguration: ILM Configuration: Validating installation of SQL Service FAILED ."
    The event log shows this error:

    I am at a loss on what to try next to get this working.  As a side note, I just noticed the dev farm we have (which I didn't set up) does not have the UPS configured.  I have seen references that state the only FIM  2010 SP1 works with SharePoint

  • Anyone tried using LDIF file in the User Profile Synchronization Process?

    Microsoft pushied an article recently talking about using LDIF file in the SharePoint's user profile synchronization. 
    Configure profile synchronization using a Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) file (SharePoint Server 2010) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff959234.aspx
    Currently I am unable to obtain the required "Replicate Directory Change" permission set up by the AD admin.  So I thought of exploring this alternative since I still have AD search permission right now.
    So far, I was able to set up the MOSSLDAP-LDIFMA, and use an import.ldif file to add, remove and update user profiles.  However, there are some problems that I can't resolve.  One of key problems is, the LDIF-imported records can't be
    sync'd with login-based records.
    In my environment, when a user login SharePoint via Windows authentication, a new profile would be added, under the account name "domain\username".  Meanwhile, when an LDIF record imported, there will be another profile created under the account
    name "domain:domain\username", or "domain:username".  That is, there would be two profiles for each user.
    Based on my understanding, it is very likely the user profile synchronization is based on the user's account name.  But in document and sample files provided, I can't find out any clue how to prepare the ldif file so that it will update the
    matching records, instead of creating new ones.
    Any help?  Thanks in advance.

    Has anyone managed to get this to work?
    It's nice that Microsoft offers the ability to import user profiles via LDIF into SharePoint, but it is useless if the account name is not correct after the import. I have tried multiple imports from the LDIF to get a user account to show up as  "domain\username" but
    it always ends up as "domain:domain\username", or "domain:username".  or a variation
    of these 2 with a colon separating the domain form the username. i see that multiple people have had the same problem, but unfortunetaly can't seem to find a solution. Also I see Bradley mentions that he was able to import accounts using get-QADUser,
    but he doesnt mention what the accounts import as or if it resolved the domain colon issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help or information anyone can provide.
    cheers,

    Same problem here.
    Hoping this will fix a slightly different issue though. My issue is the profile doesn't update with changes in Active Directory and therefore there isn't anything new for the content databases
    to sync with.
    If I delete my personal profile in the UPS Service -> Manage User Profiles and then click on MySite -> MyProfile it recreates my profile with the new Active Directory values
    (without having to do a UPS Sync) and I don't know why these values exist but of cause in doing this I lose all the non AD imported values.
    I've been working on this for nearly a week now. I've learnt a lot about the UPS but still no solution. Great article on how the Sync works by the way if anyone is interested can be found here

    is blank for some profiles.
    Can anybody help on this? Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    Firstly , I need to verify the followings:
    Whether the title field of user information list is changed if you type a value in user profile page and perform full sync.
    Whether you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010.
    If you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010, you need to make sure the user information list is mapped or connected to AD directly. More information, please refer to the post below:

    If this issue still exists, please create a new User Profile Services Application, and compare the result.
