Is there a way to create a default Site Collection Admins group that would be automatically added when any new Top Level Site collection is created, in addition to the Primary and Secondary that is manually keyed in? Similar to the way the crawl account is granted Read access via the Web Policy.

Thanks!

Just had a brief look at this series. Very interested in your last point, since we are developing a sharepoint solution for a customer. They would like to be able to access their network file shares from within SharePoint. Please can you tell me if this is possible using AAM? If it is possible, is this something you would recommend?

Thanks

Great series on AAM, very insightful

I am troubleshooting an issue with integrated Reporting Services that seems to be related to the AAM. Here’s my layout (simplified)

DNS >> NLB >> Web1 or Web2

In the AAM when the Public URL for Zone is the DNS name Reporting Services calls fail with connection closed errors (see below). If I use one of the Web front end servers for the Public URL everything works as expected.

I am unsure how the Public URL is affecting the calls to Reporting Services. Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server.

Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode.

--> The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

--> Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

--> An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.

Hi folks -

ABates: Not unless you created an event handler that acted on a site collection creation event. If you don't want to code, you could also grant a user "Full Control" to a web application via the web application permission policy feature, which would give it site administrator access to all sites on that web application. It's not quite site collection administrator access, but it's close.

Carl: I'm not sure what you mean when you say "access their network file shares from within SharePoint." Can you elaborate?

cvallandingham: I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Reporting Services. You might want to follow up with that team.

Troy,

Our customer is an educational establishment. currently staff and students have various network drives they use for file storage. (one that is only accessible to them and one that is shared between members of a year group). There are so many different files on these network drives that the customer does not want to move them all on to sharepoint.

However, the customer does want staff and students to be able to access the school intranet (based on sharepoint) from the internet. Presumably we need to use AAM for this. Once staff and students have access from the intranet, will they be able to access their networked file storage.

We are thinking of programming a page viewer web part in file mode to pick up the user name and access the correct network path.

Hope that is clear enough (its not really that clear to me - i am taking my first few steps on a very steep learning path)

Is there any way to delete a zone after it was created?

Where is zone information kept?

Thanks

Is there a way to mask links in emails sent from one zone to another? For instance, you have a site called inside.demo.com that used windows authentication for internal employees and another site called outside.demo.com that used LDAP for external clients. In this scenarion an internal employee assigns a task to an outside client. Since the internal employee does this from the inside.demo.com site the links generated in the email will point to inside.demo.com and when the client clicks on them they will not resolve.

Is there a way to have the links in the emails generated from inside.demo.com show up as outside.demo.com when going to an external participant?

Thansk,

Joe

Hi Troy,

After I configured the aam, when I access sharepoint document library from internet via webdav, IE pops up a dialog to ask me log in "www.contoso.com".

This even happens in intranet when accessing "http://sharepoint.dmz.contoso.com" if "http://sharepoint.dmz.contoso.com"'s zone is set to internet.

How can I avoid this?

Thanks!

Same url - multiple providers

techienerd — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 03:35:20 GMT

Scenario:

We have to create an extranet. Both internal and external people will collaborate on this extranet. According to MOSS guidelines have created an application, extended it into the extranet zone ( with forms authentication) and intranet zone ( with windows authentication)

The issue is around the host header ( url)

The business requires that

1. we should have a single url for both of them, and

2. based on the browser zone it should provide either forms or windows authentication.

User navigates to the site -if the browser is intranet then windows authentication should be attempted, else it should fall back to forms authentication.

MOSS doesnt provide this out of the box,

PLEASE, has anyone attempted to solve such a scenario,

Creating a document library with AAM faile

matthew taylor — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:38:59 GMT

I've been trying to get a site running on WSS3 to work behind a reverse proxy for some time now. I can get everything to almost work, but it always fails on the same specific operations.

The scenario is relatively simple - WSS3 & the reverse proxy are on the same machine. I can set up sharepoint with internal url http://machinename.domain.com:8080

The reverse proxy intercepts https://domain.com:443/

Most pages can be accessed fine on https://domain.com/ some pages always try to revert to the internal URL however. One page that I have noticed this on specifically is the creation of a new document library - other creation pages also do the same thing though. This means that they work fine internally & end up skipping the reverse proxy. Externally they stop working though as the internal URL is not accessible.

I've tried just about every possible configuration option to try & avoid this happening, including re-installing sharepoint, but the problem keeps recurring. Am I missing something in the way I am configuring things, or is there something else I need to be doing to avoid this happening?

I was wondering if I can restrict page content that a user has permission to based on AAM? For example, if they log in via AAM #1 then they can see webpart A and B but if they log in via AAM #2 then they only can see webpart A.

Hi:

I am attempting to get AAM working and have attempted to follow all of the posts and comments here (excellent by the way) and stillno cigar.

Here is what I have:

server 1 = s1.mydomain.local (internal)

server 2 = s2.mydomian.local WSS 3

URL is static ip like 16.16.16.16

I can run everything fine locally in the lan.

Set a rule up in the Firewall to map port 447 to the internal ip of the S2 server (WSS).

Extended the web application and left the port at 80 and use the s2.mydomian.local for the host header and the 16.16.16.16 for the public url.

AAM has these entries:

Internal zone public

http://s2 default http://s2

http://s2.mydomain.local extranet

https://16.16.16.15

https://16.16.16.16 extranet https://16.16.116.16

When I type the following in https://16.16.16.16:447

I get the Internet Explorer cannot display the page error.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Thanks

Nice tutorial helped me for one part of my task. I have to PUT somehow a web site on a different server than Sharepoint and i did that via the page viewer web part. On the intranet side it works but when i access from internet like https://www.contoso.com it is not displayed, and i can see it is searching for the intranet dns of the web server where the web site is published. I also would like to implement OWA site into the sharepoint as a user clicks on a menu link and the actual OWA is opened as iframe or with the web page viewer. This works when i am using the intranet computer but from internet doesn't show. I don't know what do i have to do to enable this, i guess it is connected with the Map to External Resource options in AAM. Any help?

Regards,

No search results for one AAM

I have a single WSS site that has Default and Intranet AAMs. After installing KB941422, only the default one gives search results. I have deleted and recreated the search index to no avail.

I read part 1, 2, & 3 and they are all a well of great information. Thanks. However I have a question. I think it may be considered an asymmetrical path conditiona but I need to confirm it.

My internal site url is: http://MyPortal.

The external url that i can use is https://www.mycompany.com/myportal.

Is this allowed if yes what is the right combination of checkboxes??

Right now when i try to access the external url i get the default web site.

Thank you, Alex

Hello Matthew,

I have exactly the same problem.

I'm publishing sharepoint with an https url on the default ssl port (443).

I have an internal url like:

http://server1:8002

and public url like:

https://portal.domain.com

When i try to create a new doc. library through the reverse proxy, sharepoint sends me to a link made by http + public url + internal url port (8002):

http://portal.domain.com:8002

So IE cannot find the page.

Was you able to solve it?
