Workflow Manager & User Profile Service Application for Extranet Web application

Hi,
Recently i have setup HA WF Manager farm and associated it with Intranet web application (on-prem). Now i want to use the same farm for our extranet environment (on-prem) but extranet environment is not associated with UPA. Since user profile application
is not available for extranet environment so workflow does not work.
Now if I try to use existing UPA or create a new UPA for extranet environment, then i am exposing users data to all partner and collaborators. But for workflows to work it is necessary that users profile should be there in profile database.
Is there any way that I can run workflows in extranet environment without exposing user profile data to partners/collaborators? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Paul, but this does not solve the problem.
Actually in MySite web application external users group is not at all added with any permissions but just to check your suggestion i have given permission to externals group with Deny Read permission. Now UPA is associated to the extranet web application
and when i access user profile data using RESP API using a partner account I can still see the data. For e.g. I am using this URL
https://extranet.abc.com/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='abc\uname'
When I hit this URL in browser using partner account, it shows the profile data of the account passed in the URL.
MySite web application is https://mysite.abc.com and on this web application external users group is added under policy with Deny Read permissions. Thanks.

Hi Abhishek,
According to your description, my understanding is that the User Profile Synchronization service stuck on ‘Starting’ or ‘Stopping’.
Please check whether you installed SQL 2012 Native Client (Pre-requisites) on SharePoint server. If yes, download and install SQL 2008 R2 Native Client from the below location:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/1/3/9138773A-505D-43E2-AC08-9A77E1E0490B/1033/x64/sqlncli.msi
From the SharePoint server ->control panel -> add/Remove programs , please confirm that the SQL 2008 Native Client is listed.
Make sure that the farm account is a member of the Administrators group on the server on which you are trying to start the User Profile Synchronization service, then restart the SharePoint Timer Service.
Set the FIM services to "Local System" before starting the service.
There is a troubleshooting for User Profile Synchronization Service start issues, please have a look at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750257(v=office.14).aspx
Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

One Search service application for multiple web applications in a single server

We are planning to host 17 Web applications in a single Server. Do I need to create search service application for each web application or I need to create one Search service application , create a Content source for each web
application and create a Result source for filtering. Which is the best approach. And which approach takes more RAM memory.
In my application I am using Search web part, "Recently Changed Items", "Popular Items" web parts. when I created only one one Search Service application for all web applications and using Result sources ,
I am not getting the results. What could be the problem.

Hi,
One SSA is ok, but you should think about access rights. If the access is clear cut between all the web apps you should be ok with one SSA. Multiple result sources limiting on content source also works, but could easily be bypassed.
Multiple SSA's will eat up RAM/CPU like a mother :)
As for popular etc.. it could be due to how those sources are set up, but haven't investigated or tested this much.
Thanks,
Mikael

Attempting to Manage User Profile service results in error messages

Hello folks. I've been working on this issue for a bit now, and have searched a number of different ways. Everything I find as a result says "do an iisreset" as the only solution - I've done multiple iisresets and rebooted the server at least twice.
I've been working on setting up the User Profile service and User Profile Synchronization service. After a good bit of troubleshooting, I got the Sync service started successfully; I then decided to attempt to get to the user profile service settings
to begin setting it up for mysites. When selecting the service to manage it, I get the generic error in the browser, with the correlation ID which points me to these errors in my logs (as provided by ulsviewer, love that app)
UserProfileServiceUserStatisticsWebPart:LoadControl failed, Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

So far, I'm finding nothing that points to any further troubleshooting past "do an iisreset" or "check that the FIM services are running". I've done plenty of iisresets and the FIM services are running.
Are there any suggestions for this that aren't just doing an iisreset, because that has not fixed it for me...

Ok so I was able to fix the issue.
I installed the latest CU package (currently April 2012) available here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ff800847
after it installed, I rebooted the SP server, then ran the SP Products Configuration Wizard, then rebooted again.
Next, I removed the User Profile service I had previously created, then recreated everything following the instructions here:
http://sharepointgeorge.com/2010/configuring-the-user-profile-service-in-sharepoint-2010/ to the letter (Gotta make sure you do iisresets at the right places!).
After all this, my issues went away and I was able to proceed with setting up MySites.

User Profile Service hangs for unknown reason

Hi,
We have a system where usually around 300+ users are logged in simultaneously. These users are working on +-20 Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Servers. These servers are in a cluster. We have a physical load balancer. We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Connection
Broker. We also have serveral Windows Server 2003 servers, connecting to the same domain controllers, but to a different Farm on the Connection Broker.
Sometimes, and for us it seems like random times, users start complaining they cannot log on to the servers anymore. The server seems to be hanging on the User Profile Service. Users get the message "Please wait for the User Profile Service". This message
will stay untill you give the server a hard reset (power off - power on). If we connect to the service from another computer in the domain, we can see which services are started. We can't see any problems, everything seems to be working fine. We just can't
log on to the server anymore, also not as console. This happens on all our 2008 servers in the farm. If it happens, it is usually to happen on more than 1 server (last week on 7 servers simultaneously). You can imagine how our customers react to this. Users
who are allready logged in to the servers on which the problems occur do not notice anything, untill they try to log out. Then they also get the message. If we shutdown this machine (some work on VMware, some are physical servers) the hard way (power off /
power on) the server can work good for several weeks. Then, out of the blue, the problem might occur again.
We have tried many hotfixes and Windows Updates, we have searched in the DNS system, and disabled the second NIC, but the problem still occurs. We do have mandatory profiles, which are being loaded by the software "Flex Profiles".
I hope somebody here has some good ideas.
Thanks in advantage,
Roy

Hi Chris,
First of all, thanks for your reaction. The problem in your link describes almost the same environment as we have. Except that in our case, whenever the "Please wait for the user profile" turns up, nobody is able to log on to that server anymore until reboot.
In their case, they will be logged on after 60 - 90 seconds. We can't really find an event in the event viewer which seems to be hanging around with the problem.

User Profile Service - Permission for Service User to Read All (also "only me fields")

Hey there,
we have a webapplication that needs to read all info from a user profile. Even if it is set to "only me".
I want to set the least privileges needed. So set the user to "Manage Profiles" in the CA seems to be wrong.
How can i achieve that?
Best regards
Stephan

You could run that piece of code in the vacation app using "runwithelevatedprivileges". That may also resolve it, as it will be running under the context of the App Pool account (which you could grant the appropriate rights on the UPSA).

Initiall SharePoint Server 2013 setup -- unable to manage new User Profile Service Application

During initial farm setup, creating an initial User Profile Service Application works fine. However, once it's created, I cannot 'manage' it through the Manage Service Applications page in central
admin.
I get a generic error (Sorry, something went wrong / unexpected error) with a correlation ID that doesn't seem to match any ULS log entries. (Yes, I merged logs from all machines in the farm.)
A Windows event log entry says:
A failure was reported when trying to invoke a service application: Endpoint Failure
Also frequent errors in ULS logs: (see below)
UserProfileApplicationNotAvailableException
User Profile Application      Proxy failed to retrieve partitions from User Profile Application: Micro…
SPDistributedCache DataCacheException
I did notice that the file 'ProfileService.svc does not exist in SharePoint's web services app at the URL you see in the error. (below)
I also found it interesting that the event log error shows 1 active endpoint and 3 failed endpoints. I have 2 WFEs and 2 app servers. But I'm only trying to get the user profile service app running on the application
servers. I have deleted and recreated this service app several times under various names (deleted/recreated its app pool as well) and wonder if these other failed endpoints could be orphans from previous instances...
Any thoughts on how I might successfully create this service application? I've already been Binging my head against a wall long enough that I would have been better off reinstalling the entire farm... I may still
do that.
FYI, my farm came from a slipstreamed SP1 install package, and received the July CU after several other things were already configured, including the already-failed UP service application.

Thanks for the suggestion. I performed the service restarts, and then an iisreset an the two web servers, and the application server that does not run the services. Finally, I ran iisreset on the application server that does run the services.

User profile service office 365 and infopath

I'm having a very strange issue with the user profile service and InfoPath 2013 web form. I am using Office 365.
I created a data connection to pre-populate user information using the _vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx url.
I can get everything to work when I preview the form within the client, however when I publish the form to a form library I get this error.

I have been researching the issue and have come across some cause because of looping or authentication? Is this a known issue? Fix?

I've been having the same issue .... and everything I've read seems to indicate this is currently NOT supported on SharePoint Online / O365 sadly.

Some links and social network features not active in user profile service for some users in sharepoint 2013

Hi everyone,
I installed user profile service and synchronize. When I go to my site by administrator user every things is OK.
But when I login by another user the my site is look like this
Please guide me to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Can you please check and share mysite setting details. Check for below:
Create a site collection at the root using the My Site Host template
Assuming you want users’ MySites to be created at
http://mySiteHost/personal/[John_Smith], create a Managed Path for the web app. The path should be personal, and the type should be
Wildcard Inclusion.
In User Profile Service Application, set My Site Host location to
http://mySiteHost, and
Personal Site Location to personal.
Enable Self-Service Site Creation for the web app
Check when the timerjob was mysite last executed. Try to manually run them
Check ULS Log for possible error and share error details with us
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

This User Profile Application's connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started

Hi, we had installed SharePoint Service Pack 1 (SP1). And now the user profile service application is not available. Getting this
Error "This User Profile Application’s connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started".
How to troubleshoot the issue anh help/thoughts will be appreciated

Not sure, if this will help, but in my case all of my services were up and running (including app pools) and also IISRESET did not help. So at that point, looking at the error message, I assumed that there is something wrong with the app pool (or app pool
credentials) and went to CA --> Application Management --> Manage Service Applications and selected UPSA and under properties just created a new app pool to run under farm account (did not want to take any chances).
As soon as the new app pool was provisioned, the service came back.

The installation then fails and does not create the third database.
I found some threads with similar problems but it involved upgrading an existing db. In this case we want to create a new one. Here is the relevant ULS log info:

I Tried to create another one under a different name (databases also) and I get the same error.
The SharePoint instance has the march mandatory update installed. The sql instance we are using is an existing SQL cluster for other SharePoint poc's.
Has anybody seen this issue before?

I had the same problem and could not figure out what was wrong for the longest time. I then had the idea to check in the model system database to see if there were any extra custom tables in that database. Any tables that are in the model database
are put into any new database when it is created. I had some custom tables in the model database so I deleted the custom tables in the model database and deleted the failed user profile service application and its databases and then tried to recreate
the user profile service application again and it worked with no errors

Windows 7 very slow logon, Waiting for the User Profile Service, winlogon event 6006

Hello,
Every so often one of our Windows 7 clients which is not normally having any delay at logon will take a very long time to login. This may be 10 or 20 minutes or up to an hour in some cases.
Typically the event log will contain entries like
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> took 572 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logon).
There is no further information available from Event Log Online Help, nor any additional detail as to why the logon event was so slow. During the delay the user will just see "Waiting for the User Profile Service" on their screen.
We first started seeing this problem with Windows Vista and if anything the situation has not improved since then. It has never happened with any of our Windows XP users.
We are currently planning a migration of computers to Windows 7 but stuff like this which has not been resolved in Windows over a 2 year period will stall that migration. The least improvement is to increase the event notification to give a lot more
information on why the user profile processing has stalled.

Hi,
When did the issue begin to occur? Did it occur after installing certain application or applying certain policy?
To troubleshoot the issue, please perform the following step.
1. Restart the machine in Safe Mode with Networking to check whether the system can login quicker.
2. Type “gpedit.msc” in Search box and press Enter. Navigate to the following location:
Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Logon
Please double click “Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon” policy and disable it.
3. Perform a
Clean Boot to check the result.
Thanks,
Novak

Running multiple User Profile Service Applications -- recommendations, pitfalls, etc.

I have a farm with one WFE, one APP, and one SQL server. The User Profile Service runs on both WFE and APP, the User Profile Sync Service is on the APP server. There is a single User Profile service application running that pulls from 4 different AD
import sources: two in the US, one in London, and one in Mexico.
There is a nightly incremental synch.
There is an issue where the London users need the synch to occur hourly.
There are some complexities with one of the US sources in that would make it difficult to run the current User Profile service hourly, plus there is a performance concern.
I'm interested in possibly creating a second User Profile Service Application that reads only from London and runs hourly.
Beyond creating the User Profile service and scheduling hourly, what should I be concerned about?
Will I need to (re)create new Audiences based on those from the original User Profile Service App? Run them immediately after User Profiles? Will there be an interruption in access during that gap?
Recreate custom User Properties?
Recreate any Forefront modifications?
New Profile/Sync/Social DBs?
etc?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use multiple user profile service application.
Yes, you can do it. Only one user profile application can be configured to work with the Profile Synchronization Instance. If you want more UPS instance, you need to start UPS on different server.
Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

How to merge User Profile Service Applications

We have a SP 2010 farm with UPSA and some the users have edited their profile properties in that. We have planned to move the web application from SP 2010 farm to SP 2013 farm which already has a user profile service application in it.
Both the SP2010 and SP2013 farms are using same AD.
What we need after upgrading to SP 2013,
1. The edited user profile properties should be updated in the SP 2013 farm
2. SP 2013 farm should have only one UPSA.
Please help to migrate the UPSA from SP 2010 and merge with the existing 2013 UPSA.
Thanks
Ramkumar

Hi Ramkumar,
Per my knowledge, we cannot merge the two user profile service application.
If you need the custom user properties in your User profile service application in SharePoint 2013, I recommend to create a mapping to export the user properties to AD from SharePoint 2010 user profile service application and then create a mapping to import
the user properties to user profile service application in SharePoint 2013.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tehnoonr/archive/2010/11/22/mapping-user-profile-properties-in-sharepoint-2010-to-ldap-attributes.aspx
Or you just need to migrate the User Profile service application from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and use this instead of the existing User Profile service application in SharePoint 2013.
