SharePoint 2010 | Login over HTTPS from HTTP pages

Hello Friends

 

Did you ever have a chance to work on Login control for SharePoint which sends user’s credentials on SSL and rest of the stuff non-secured?  I found few of the good links which suggest creating our own custom Cookie handlers.

Microsoft SharePoint Team has written their own cookie handler specific to SharePoint which does not allow authentication token being generated on a secured connection to be used under non-secured. 1st thing, Do you see any kind of harm in overriding this behavior of SharePoint’s cookie handler with our own custom one ? Second,I was able to transfer back the cookies using  this approach as in the links below, but current context was lost, and user remained to be logged off !!!

Steps I followed:

1. Extended the current setup on SSL . Made it working similar to the default zone application ( including resource files and web.config entries,manual dll etc.)

2. Set the postback url for login button.

3. Made the URL rewrite entries as suggested in both zones. ( these are spread across multiple links, REQUEST_METHOD is additional to https ON rule) URL rewriting can be done very easily with an IIS extension provided by Microsoft.

4. Created the custom handler as suggested and replaced it with SharePoint one.

5. Set the required SSL for cookies to false, so that they may be used on non ssl also.

The two bindings should be given under same zone , only then it works. I was giving the alternate access mappings under different zone.

So with  custom cookie handler with both end point under same zone , it works! !

SharePoint 2010 | mix mode authentication with ntlm and sql providers | Browser issue

Hi

 

I have a web application claim based with ntlm and sql provider ( mix mode authentication). The default login page of SharePoint 2010 , allows me to login the site on Mozilla 10 and Google  crome,

but on IE 8 and 9 , it does not redirect me anywhere after windows authentication pop up, nor the user is able to access the application pages by typing url directly ( means there is a problem in authentication rather than redirection only)

 

I have tried allowing all cookies and adding the site in trusted zone on IE 8 and 9 , but no luck

I had given a   hostheader different to the server name, when I revert it back to server name/blank,   I was able to use default SharePoint login page perfectly fine.

This is when hostheader had a DNS entry also in place !!!

Make sure javascript is not disabled. A next step could be to install Fiddler and check which requests/responses are sent over.

Are you forced to actually enter a username and password using IE? This might imply a kerberos misconfiguration?

Hi,

Have you checked Remember me in the login page?

If yes, please try to do some changes in web.config file:

<cookieHandler mode="Custom" path="/" > changed it to:

<cookieHandler mode="Custom" path="/" persistentSessionLifetime="60">

For more information, please refer to:

Migration from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 Infopath does not work

We are facing an issue to connect my SharePoint 2010 application with InfoPath Designer.

The site collection for which we are getting this error is migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010.For other applications which are created in SharePoint 2010 itself (no migration) , everything works fine.

While we are trying to connect to migrated application ,we are getting error :

 

‘This feature requires SharePoint 2010 or greater with InfoPath  Forms Services enabled’

 

We did below points to troubleshoot this issue but didn’t get any success :(http://sharepointbloggin.com/2010/12/  and http://sharepointbloggin.com/)

 

• Activated the "SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features" at Site / Web level


• Checked Enterprise CAL Licence on the server .

 

However when we tried to connect another web application in the same farm that is working fine .

 

 

Please suggest any workaround if  anyone has faced this kind of problem before, we would greatly appreciate his / her inputs.

Hi hemantrhtk,

May be you haven’t activate it on your the top-level site .Go to the top-level site of wherever your site is, go to the Site Settings > Site Collection Features, and ensure the Enterprise Feature is activated here.

This is also may be InfoPath compatibility problems, you can delete the item relate InfoPath , then recreate it on your SharePoint 2010 environment.

Thanks,

Jack
