What's the easiest way to grant access to all the employees of our company to sharepoint portal. There are some general sites which all employees have read access. So Do I have to create an AD group for all employees and add to the site or is there some better way to manage this?
Search Crawling is error out on my MOSS 2007 installation.
I get the following error for all the web apps I have following error in Crawl logs.
http://mysites.devserver URL could not be resolved. The host may be unavailable, or the proxy settings are not configured correctly on the index server.
The Application Event log also has the following corresponding error The start address http://mysites.devserver cannot be crawled.
Context: Application 'SSPMain', Catalog 'Portal_Content'
Details: The URL of the item could not be resolved. The repository might be unavailable, or the crawler proxy settings are not configured. To configure the crawler proxy settings, use the Proxy and Timeout page in search administration. (0x80041221)
I'm using Windows 2008 server. I tried accessing the site using the above mentioned url and its available. I did the registry setting for loop back issue found here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861 still not luck. Any Ideas?
Is it possible to have a single url to access multiple sharepoint web apps? For example in our installation we have 3 web apps
- mysites.hostnamme
- teamsites.hostname
- portal.hostname
Is it possible to have a single url like
- www.mydomain.com/mysites
- www.mydomain.com/teamsites
- www.mydomain.com/portal
to redirect to those corresponding web apps? Or do I have to make it all in a single web app if so is that recommended?
Does anyone know what the different windows authentication providers for IIS7 means. There are 3 available providers
- NTLM
- Negotiate
- Negotiate:Kerberos
NTLM is pretty obvious I think its NTLM and Negotiate is that Kerberos if so then what is Negotiate:Kerberos ?
I'm trying out sharepoint and I'm installed MOSS2007 trial version. I selected kerberos authentication method during install. It installed everything and when I try to go Central Administration site from IE I get 401.1 error. In the security event log I get Failure audit event. If I try to access the site through Firefox it works fine and it uses NTLM as authetication method. I created SPN for service account and configured the trust for delegation for both the computer and the service account following instructions found here. Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong?
EDIT: In the security event log The failure aud has the user as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. I expected to see server farm account in there. The OfficeServer app pool and Central Admin app pool are both running under the farm account. Same for Windows SharePoint Services Administration and Windows SharePoint Services Timer service. Am I missing something else?
