Wrong urls in SharePoint alert messages(patrikluca.blogspot.com)

submitted by Patrik(705) 3 years, 1 month ago

Recently I ran into a problem with the automatic generated urls in SharePoint alert messages. For some users logging in using the Web-based form (and hence entering the Forms Based authentication Web Application, http://extranet url), the hyperlinks in the generated alert messages started wrongly with http://intranet. This was not the case for all users entering the Forms Based Web Application: for some the hyperlinks in the alert messages started correctly with http://extranet. read more...

Sharepoint 2007 alerts in Outlook 2007(asimilatorul.com)

submitted by alexandrul.ct(475) 3 years, 2 months ago

The alerts from Sharepoint 2007 are simply unreadable in Outlook 2007 (RTM or SP1) configured to connect to an Exchange 2003 server. One workaround was disabling the cached Exchange mode in the mail account properties (not recommended for mobile users). One other solution involved some Exchange 2003 patches (depending on the mood of the Exchange admins). The simplest solution is to install the Outlook 2007 February 2009 Cumulative Update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961752). The KB article does not mention anything about Sharepoint alerts, but it just works. read more...

WSS, ADAM, and Building a Custom Authentication Provider(blogs.pointbridge.com)

submitted by schalkvanwyk(1335) 3 years, 2 months ago

The point of this post is to demonstrate that creating your own provider for ADAM isn't as daunting as it might first seem. I implemented the shell of one (code included below) in a few hours. Using WSS 3.0 with ADAM features and licensing: 1. The ability to use the ASP.NET pluggable membership provider model is supported by WSS without MOSS components. 2. The LDAPMembershipProvider and LDAPRoleProvider classes that are part of the Microsoft.Office.Server assembly are licensed as part of MOSS So what do you do if you're not running MOSS? You have two options: 1. Buy a third-party utility (e.g. LDAP Client.NET - though I haven't tried this one personally). 2. Write your own. read more...

ADAM (Active Directory In Application Mode) Custom Role Provider(sharepointsecurity.com)

submitted by schalkvanwyk(1335) 3 years, 2 months ago

ADAM (Active Directory on Application Mode) has become increasingly common for companies that want to implement a featherweight directory protocol to use within their SharePoint environment. With ADAM, setting up role based security principles is common because it is an extendable architecture that provides the benefits of Active Directory without the management and implementation overhead, and also allows the concept of binding roles to operations which is a very helpful function since beyond acting as a role and user data store, the ADAM instance can become an engine by which to run an mixed, integrated SharePoint and miscellaneous application environment. The AzMan role provider limits the users that you can integrate with the LDAP pluggable provider to those that resolve to a tangible windows identity (it must be a domain account), which of course is a problem for people that wish to use ADAM only users. With increased support for ADAM in SharePoint 2007, the requirement from customers has become even more prevalent and for some, the lack of role support has become a cause for concern. Also download ADAM Role Provider - Version 2.12.343.234 - Tested On SharePoint 2007 read more...

How to use WSS v3 with ADAM for user authentication(blogs.pointbridge.com)

submitted by schalkvanwyk(1335) 3 years, 2 months ago

One of the powerful new features of Windows SharePoint Services v3 (and MOSS, as by extension) is its ability to use authentication providers other than Active Directory. Because it's built on .NET 2.0, it can take advantage of the provider model for membership. ... One possible membership database is Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM). ADAM allows for an application to take advantage of the user-management features of AD without all of its overhead (no DC required, etc.). It exposes its information via LDAP, and runs as a service on Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP. read more...

TDD in SharePoint - Introduction to common vocabulary(21apps.com)

submitted by schalkvanwyk(1335) 3 years, 2 months ago

This post is part of a series on Test Driven Development - Using Dependency Injection. There are a number of terms that you are likely to hear very early on in your journey to Test Driven Development, these terms generally refer to specific patterns of coding that have developed to support particular problems. You should be familiar with terms like Singleton and Factory which are used as a common vocabulary and help developers to communicate their design. In order to complete the refactoring of our project we will introduce some new terms Loosely Coupled, Dependency Inversion, Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control to help us describe the changes and the reasoning behind them. read more...

Windows Services and WSS Timed Jobs(sharepointbriefing.com)

submitted by schalkvanwyk(1335) 3 years, 3 months ago

Windows Services utilize their own Windows sessions and security context, isolating them from other processes and users working on the same server. Although Windows Services has no user interface, there is an administrator function to start, pause, restart, and realize the necessary configurations. SharePoint also has an infrastructure to operate this type of process in the form of "SharePoint Timed Jobs." Jobs perform actions at predefined intervals (in minutes) or during an allocated period of time (hour, day, week, month, or year). Among other functions, SharePoint utilizes Timed Jobs for installing Solutions, indexing, and with its search engine. One disadvantage of Timed Jobs is that the time structure is organized in defined slots (hour, days, and so forth). If a task requires a specified time configuration, for example, to run each second Saturday of the month, the Jobs framework falls short. Another drawback is that Timed Jobs are SharePoint-dependent; imagine, for instance, a system that needs to track the availability of the Portal. In this scenario, if SharePoint is down, the Jobs infrastructurealso is unavailable for use. A Windows Service that runs autonomously is able to check the accessibility every few minutes, and if necessary, create a log. read more...
