Synchronize Active Directory with Office365 without Azure

0
0

I read this article: http://blogs.office.com/2014/04/15/synchronizing-your-directory-with-office-365-is-easy/

I use Office365 E3 and have set up SharePoint site, but I do not have Azure subscription. I wanted to synchronize AD domain, running on Win 2012 R2. 

Do I have to have Azure AD? I understanded from the above article, that syncinc AD DS directly to Office365 was possible. But how should I do this? 

I used "Microsoft Azure Active Directory SYnc Services", but that requires Azure AD. 



Consuming excel webservices for a Sharepoint 2013 site deployed on Office 365 - OpenWorkbook

0
0

Hello,

My requirement is to update an excel workbook uploaded in a sharepoint 2013 online site.

In Visual Studio 2012, I have added web service reference to the below url - 

<Office365SiteCollectionUrl>/_vti_bin/ExcelService.asmx

And using the below code snippet - 

                                     

    ExcelService xlService = new ExcelService();
                    Status[] status;

                    xlService.Timeout = 600000;

                    var securePassword = new SecureString();
                    var password = "<password>";
                    foreach (char c in password)
                    {
                        securePassword.AppendChar(c);
                    }
                    xlService.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("<UserName>", securePassword); 

string sessionId = xlService.OpenWorkbook("<PathOfExcel>", "en-US", "en-US", out status);

                   The method "OpenWorkbook" throws error - "we couldn't find the file you wanted".

No other information is available.

It would be very much appreciated if anyone can provide a resolution for this issue.

Thanks in Advance!!

Using a shared folder as a Document Library in Sharepoint 365

0
0

Hi There, 

At my organisation, we are in the process of rolling out Office 365 and in particular, Sharepoint 365. 

I am trying to work out whether we can do something. Our legal team have a lot of confidential data that must be stored on our shared network drive, however they would like to be able to open it through their SharePoint site. 

Is there any way that I can set up a document library that finds its data from a network drive? So basically, the opposite way that OneDrive for Business works, e.g. folder to Sharepoint Library.

Thanks, 

Matthew

Provider Hosted App - Client Secret Expired

0
0
We are using SharePoint Online with Provider Hosted app creates in ASP.NET. This portal gone live in December last year and was working fine till yesterday until we started facing the issues exactly after one year of portal going live. With this we have realized this has something to do with the ClientSecret token expiration issue because we have been getting the "JWT token invalid" issue. Further to this we have started following the below article and was able to generate the new ClientSecret and the same has been updated in Web.config file as well but still getting the same "JWT Token Invalid" error along with "Invalid Issuer or Signature" issue.
 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn726681(v=office.15).aspx
 
While above document suggest a method before ClientSecret being expired, but in our case we are trying to fight with the issue where our secret has been already expired. We have also waited for 12 hours after generating the fresh secret but nothing helps.
 
Has anyone else experienced such situation, could someone please help me with this ?

How to Upload Many User Profile Photos/Pictures

0
0

Hi everyone. We've been struggling on uploading user profile pictures to our Sharepoint online sites. I have been reading this post http://get-spscripts.com/2010/12/upload-multiple-user-profile.html but it kind of helps but not really. If we rename our picture files to DOMAIN_LoginName.jpg which in our case would be corp_joe.smith.jpg I am curious how Sharepoint Online knows where to put the files? We don't use our domain to authenticate to SO (or do we?). Then it wants the URL of the mysite site. Is that a collection site? How do I translate this to Sharepoint Online? This post is a few years old so I don't expect it to match up exactly but is this even possible with the newer Sharepoint Online?

thanks!

Group By in List View doesn't work for anonymous users

0
0

Hi,

I have created a simple page with a Web Part for a Custom List on it. The List View that I'm using groups by the content on two levels (as in two columns). This is on a public site (https://xxx-public.sharepoint.com)

This works just fine when I'm logged in to the site, but as soon as I log out and access the page as an anonymous user, it fails to work. This is what happens:
* I can see the first level group and I can expand it
* I can also see the second level group and I can expand it
* But as soon as I try to expand the second level group (at this point I expect to see List Items), all I see is "Working on it" and nothing else happens.

Yes, I have made this site public and the list in question inherits the security settings from the parent site (which I have checked, allows anonymous access).
I haven't done anything to the Master Page, nor anything else. Everything is default, except I have removed the wonderful "blue sky" background that comes default.

I have also tried removing the second level Group By, but it did not help. Same result.

Can anyone tell me why this might be? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug in SP Online?

Thanks!


SharePoint Online integration with CRM 2011 On Premise starts failing after a while

0
0

The integration works fine most of the time: from the CRM 2011 On Premise interface i am able to create folders in SharePoint Online and upload my documents to those folders.

After a while though, instead of proposing to create a new folder in SharePoint Online to store the documents for new records we create in CRM, we are greeted with a different window asking to create a folder in SharePoint and then enter the url in CRM.

When I check the document management settings the site location says "validation failed" but when I rerun the configuration-wizard everything works again like before.

- The url for SharePoint was not deleted

- The system still knew for which entitities in CRM document management in SharePoint was activated before

I have no idea what could be causing it, any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.


Multitenant application authentication in SharePoint Online (O365)

0
0

I am able to use OAuth2 to authenticate using the mechanism described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn645542.aspx - my intention is to allow my 3rd party WebApp to allow users to grant access to their SharePoint content via Azure OAuth. I am able to use the login.windows.net/common/oauth2 endpoints, and having registered my app in Azure, I do indeed get the right callback once the user authentiates, and I am able to post to the token endpoint.

At this point, I have an auth-token that I can use, but I don't know the URL to the user's default (or root) SharePoint site. I am required to provide a 'resource' URI so that authentication can succeed, and if I hard-code this value to a known URL, then it works like a charm.  Unfortunately, this makes my application specific to one particular tenant.  Far from ideal...

My question is - how can I detect the SharePoint URL to use as the resource parameter for access to - before the user logs-in? Or even better - is there a way to login using OAuth2 that allows me access to SharePoint endpoints, but which does not require me to know what the endpoints are ahead of time?

If not, I don't see how it is possible to write multi-tenant applications with this model. I must be missing something.   Help!

Allow external iframes local IP

0

I am at the beginning of migrating from on-site SharePoint to SharePoint Online.

Trying to get a page viewer to display an HTML/PHP page that is hosted locally. I understand that this will cause problems when viewing the pages when off-site, but that is ok for the requirements.

Is it possible to set Site Settings > Site Collection Administration > HTML Field Security > Allow External iFrames to accept content from internal servers, local IP (eg 192.168.1.*)?

If so, what "domain" is needed in the above settings (or otherwise) to allow these pages to display?

The URL pointing to the local page works in web browsers fine, just doesn't display on SharePoint Online.

Thanks,

Lachy

User Authentication + Multitenancy : Chicken And Egg

If not, I don't see how it is possible to write multi-tenant applications with this model. I must be missing something.

Just to clarify the discussion, I can properly authenticate and read SharePoint data through the Azure authentication entry point and the SharePoint 2013 REST API - if I hard-code the resource URL.  If I want to access a different tenant, I have to re-run my code with a different hard-coded resource URL.  So, just to be painfully clear - this does not seem to be a problem authenticating or using the APIs so much as detecting the correct resource URL halfway through the authentication flow so that I can actually login to more than one tenancy.

I need to upload file into share point online (2013) using C# with a live id test@outlook.com. I am using the below code                                  

    string siteUrl = "https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/xxx/yyyy";
            string filePath = Console.ReadLine();

            ClientContext context = new ClientContext(siteUrl);

            SecureString passWord = new SecureString();

            foreach (var c in "password") passWord.AppendChar(c);
            context.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("test@outlook.com", passWord);

            Web site = context.Web;

            //Get the required RootFolder

Please help me to resolve this.

Set Alert on Shared with Everyone folder

0
0

Hi I really like the Shared with Everyone feature as I don't need to keep sharing individual documents from my OneDrive with all my team mates. However, I can't find an option to set alerts for this. Atm each time I add something, I also have to send out an email. Can I make it so that people can set alerts to make them aware of changes made to the folder? i.e. new documents, deleted documents etc. It is such a faff to have to follow individual documents.

Thanks :)

(not sure if this is the right forum category, but couldn't find one for OneDrive

I'm trying to map a network drive from a hosted server to my OneDrive account.  It works fine from my local machine (Windows 7), but I can't get it to work from the server (Server 2008 R2 DataCenter).   I tried the same connection string in the Map Network Drive dialog:

\\docs.live.net@SSL\<cid>\

The error I'm getting is:

Windows cannot access xxxx

Any help appreciated.  Can't figure this one out.
Thanks in advance.
