Classic mode Web Application in Sharepoint 2013

-
Hi Guys,

I was doing the migration from SP 2010 to SP 2013. The purpose of this post is to discuss how we can easily create classic mode web application in SP 2013.

You must be knowing that we are having option to select the authentication mode "Claims based" or "Classic Mode".

IC423799

But unfortunately in SP 2013 this option is removed. You can only configure claims-based authentication when you manage Web applications in the Central Administration page. This is because claims-based authentication is the default and preferred method of user authentication, and is required to take advantage of server-to-server authentication and app authentication. If you would like to create a Web application with classic mode authentication, you can do this using Windows PowerShell cmdlets. The use of classic mode authentication, also known as Windows classic authentication, is discouraged in SharePoint 2013 and you can only create or configure web applications for classic mode authentication with Windows PowerShell cmdlets.

Prerequisites:

1) The user must have following memberships:

  • securityadmin


                     webapp1.png-550x0

  • db_owner


                     webapp2.png-550x0

Next step is to open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell. On the Start menu, click All Programs, click Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Products, and then click SharePoint 2013 Management Shell:

At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following:

New-SPWebApplication -Name <Name> -ApplicationPool <ApplicationPool> -AuthenticationMethod <WindowsAuthType> -ApplicationPoolAccount <ApplicationPoolAccount> -Port <Port> -URL <URL>

Where:


  • <Name>: The name of the new Web application.

  • <ApplicationPool>: The name of the application pool.

  • < WindowsAuthType>: Either NTLM or Kerberos. Kerberos is recommended.

  • <ApplicationPoolAccount>: The user account that this application pool will run as.

  • <Port>: The port on which the Web application will be created in IIS.

  • <URL>: The public URL for the Web application.



For example:

New-SPWebApplication -Name "Classic Mode Site" -ApplicationPool "Sharepoint-007" -AuthenticationMethod "Kerberos"-ApplicationPoolAccount "Sharepoint\span" -Port 007 -URL "http://sharepoint-app"

                      Capture

So by this way we can easily create the Classic mode web application.

Happy SharePointing

Cheers :)

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...

Hi, In my previous post( Creating and configuring Search service application ) I explained how to configure the search service application and its configuration. We can also search the external sites content using the SharePoint search just by creating new content source. Follow the given steps to create the new content source for external site. To get to the Manage Content Sources page Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a service application administrator for the Search service application. On the Home page of the SharePoint Central Administration Web site, in the Application Management section, click Manage service applications . On the Manage Service Applications page, click Search Service Application . On the Search Administration Page, in the Crawling section, click Content Sources .                     After clicking on the link you will be redirected to the page where all the available content sources are displayed.                    To ...
