Alternate Access Mappings: another URL to your site

-
Scenario: How to assign a different internet URL to SharePoint 2010 site ?

Explanation:

Alternate access mappings enable a Web application that receives a request for an internal URL, in one of the five authentication zones, to return pages that contain links to the public URL for the zone. You can associate a Web application with a collection of mappings between internal and public URLs. Internal refers to the URL of a Web request as it is received by Office SharePoint Server 2007. Public refers to the URL of an externally accessible Web site. The public URL is the base URL that Office SharePoint Server 2007 uses in the pages that it returns. If the internal URL has been modified by a reverse proxy device, it can differ from the public URL.

Perform the following steps to configure alternate access URL for a SharePoint site

  1. You must have a SP site configured and working fine and having URL looks like http://<site Url>.

  2. Go to Central Admin > Application Management > Alternate Access Mappings.

  3. Click on "Edit Public URLs" and then choose the appropriate Alternate Access Mapping Collection.

  4. Now enter the desired alternate URL under the Internet section. for eg. http://portal.yoursite.com


To make it work on server please perform the following actions:

Option 1:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK

  2. In Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. (In Win 2008, its DWORD 32bit)

  3. Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.

  4. Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.

  5. In the Value data box, type 1 and then click OK.

  6. Quit Registry Editor.

  7. Do not forget to restart your server.


Option 2:  Add this registry entry by PowerShell:

New-ItemProperty HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa -Name "DisableLoopbackCheck" -value "1" -PropertyType dword

Happy Sharepointing :)

Hide Ribbon on SharePoint 2013 using CSS

-
Hi Guys, I recently experienced the migration from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. I was earlier hiding Ribbon using the SPSecurityTrimmedControl and CSS. But in SP 2013 MS has divided whole ribbon in two section: s4-ribbonrow and suiteBar Hiding the ribbon is as much as easier as it was in 2010 version. But here we just need to take care of above two mentioned sections. I have gone thorough some of the blogs where people are saying that we have change the html file(Seattle.html or oslo.html) and design manger will take care of creating master page for you (ref: Hide Ribbon ). But there is another traditional way of doing same, follow the given steps: 1) Open the master page file in the SharePoint designer. 2) Add the style tag to hide the ribbon for all the user: #s4-ribbonrow, #suiteBar { display : none; } 3) Now we have to do some more changes so that at least system account can access the ribbon. Find out the <div id="s4-ribbonrow"> tag. 4) Insert the following code insi...
