Windows Live@EDU Single Sign On

EasyReadArticles.com — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:49:24 +0000

Greetings,

Currently I am doing a project to get students onto Live@EDU.

With all the administration of users, groups to the side we need to implement Live into our sharepoint portal; currently running our own and down the track moving to scholaris.

Below is a project the guys at microsoft recommended I have a look at. I am still looking for other methods so I’ll comment on anything new I will find.

Project Description
The Windows Live@EDU Single Sign On project provides a middle tier WCF service, as well as SharePoint web parts and direct connectors for providing Single Sign On from your student portal into the Windows Live@EDU environment.

Windows Live@EDU Single Sign On Service

This project contains three main components, all designed to facilitate the single sign on environment for the Microsoft® Live@EDU service.

SharePoint Portal Administration Service Error in Event Log

EasyReadArticles.com — Fri, 22 May 2009 02:15:25 +0000

Event ID: 202
Source: SharePoint Portal Administration Service
Type: Error
Description: Synchronization exception occurred.

Comments I found when searching on the net for reasons.

Comments Massimo Luinetti (Last update 5/12/2007):
If you have performed an upgrade from version 2003 to version 2007 and you have only one configuration database, you will probably have to disable the old “SharePoint Portal Administration Service” (version 2003). That was the solution in my case.

Michel Dawidowicz (Last update 1/28/2005):
In my case, this symptom started to appear when the database backend was down for a short period. The event is logged twice per minute in the log. To resolve this restart the “Sharepoint Portal Administration” service on each affected server of the farm.

From a newsgroup post: “Go to IIS manager, open each site, and go to the home directory tab. Then, there is a section at the bottom called Application pools. Edit each and set the account to someone who has logon as a service right to the local server”.

You receive a “Service Unavailable” error message when you browse a Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Web site

We changed our admin’ password which the application pools and websites where using to authenticate, the ‘Services’ logon details do not sync with Active Directory its local machine based.

The website troubleshooting tips wern’t all valid expect for this paragraph and changing “Services” logon information manually:

Use one of the following methods as appropriate to your situation:

a. If Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 is installed on a member server:
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.
2. Expand Local Users and Groups, and then expand Users.
3. Right-click the account that is used by the application pool for the virtual server, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Member of tab.

Restart IIS after these steps and check site in your browser.
