·                  Deployment overview of Duet Enterprise for SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview


This deployment guide describes the overall process to install and configure Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview on a single computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise, and SQL Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1).

This process is for a SharePoint administrator to view Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview functionality and is intended to provide only a baseline proof of concept that demonstrates core Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview features and connectivity. It is not intended to provide multiple computer deployment instructions or multiple farm deployment instructions.

 


·                  Plan to deploy Duet Enterprise for SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview


This article describes the planning that you should do before you begin an installation of Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview. The procedures and information presented in this article are listed in the order in which they must be used. All hardware and software must comply with the information found in Hardware and software requirements for Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview.

The installation and configuration process will require several hours to complete. You will need to work with your SAP administrator who will provide you with a SAPSSL.cer certificate and the endpoint URLs. You will provide the SAP administrator with two certificates: SharePointSSL.cer and DuetRoot.cer and the publishing URL of your extended SharePoint site. We recommend that you schedule time when both the SharePoint administrator and the SAP administrator are available. In addition to the items listed in this article, you need to review all hardware and software requirements for Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview and also for all Windows, SQL Server, and SharePoint Server computers that are used for this deployment.

The overall installation and configuration process will proceed in the following order:






We recommend that you obtain and record this information before you begin your deployment. We have provided the following deployment reference table that lists the names of the accounts and service applications described in the Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview install and configure process.

The Name as documented column in this table contains the names of the items you are tracking while deploying Duet Enterprise. These are the names that are referred to throughout this guide. The Name used column is for your use to record the names of these items.

·         Endpoint URL requirements

·         Certificate requirements


·                   Endpoint URL requirements


Endpoint URLs are URL links that point the SharePoint Server system to specific endpoints in the SAP system and are bound to each imported Business Data Connectivity (BDC) model. These URLs must be obtained from the SAP administrator for each BDC model that you import. There are two URLs for each model:

·         LsiUrl   This is the service URL with which SAP exposes data for a particular feature.

·         MetadataURL   This will be automatically be picked up by the LsiUrl when the command is run.

·                   Certificate requirements


You need three certificates to help secure Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview communications between clients and the server and between the servers running SharePoint and SAP. These certificates are created during the Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview installation process on both the SharePoint and SAP systems.

·         DuetRoot.pfx   Created when you configure a root certificate by using the DuetConfig.exe –createselfsignedcertificate command. This certificate is used to create user certificates that are sent to SAP along with end-user requests. The process for creating this certificate must be completed in the following order:

1.     Create the certificate as a .pfx file.

2.     Configure the certificate. This includes storing it in the Secure Store Service Application.

3.     Export the certificate as a .cer file. This is necessary because SAP systems accept certificates in .cer file format only.

4.     Share the .cer file with the SAP administrator. The SAP administrator will create a trust relationship for this certificate.

·         SharePointSSL.cer   Secures server requests for calls from SAP to SharePoint. This certificate is created on the SharePoint system by using Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, exported by using the Microsoft Management Console, and shared with the SAP administrator to be trusted in the SAP system.

·         SAPSSL.cer   Secures server requests for calls from SharePoint to SAP. This certificate is created on the SAP system and shared with the SharePoint administrator to be trusted in the SharePoint system.

·                   Active Directory account requirements


Two Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) accounts are required to install Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview, as shown in the following table.

·          Table: Domain accounts required to install Duet Enterprise 2.0

9.     The Extend Web Application to Another IIS Web Site window closes and the new web application is extended. No visual confirmation is provided.

·                   Create and manage the SharePoint SSL certificate


After extending the new web application that you created, you must create an SSL certificate and bind that certificate to the extended web application. This certificate is named the SharePointSSL.cer certificate. Once created and bound in to the extended web application in SharePoint, you will export it and share it with the SAP administrator who imports it into the SAP system. The procedures for this are as follows:

1.     Create the SharePointSSL.pfx certificate.

2.     Bind the SharePointSSL.pfx certificate to the extended web application.

3.     Export the SharePointSSL certificate as a .cer file to your local file system.

4.     Share the SharePointSSL.cer certificate with the SAP administrator.

·                   Create the SharePointSSL.pfx certificate and export the SharePointSSL.cer certificate


This is the first of four SharePointSSL certificate management procedures. The SharePointSSL.cer certificate is created by using IIS Manager (inetmgr). This certificate will be bound to the extended web application that you just created and used to help secure communications between the SharePoint and SAP systems.

To create the SharePointSSL.cer certificate

11.  The SharePointSSL certificate is displayed in the Server Certificates section.

·                   Bind the SharePointSSL.cer certificate to the extended web application


This is the second of four SharePointSSL certificate management procedures. The SharePointSSL.cer certificate is bound to the extended web application that you created by using IIS Manager (inetmgr).

To bind the SharePointSSL.cer certificate to the extended web application

1.     Verify that you have the following administrative credentials: Farm Administrators SharePoint group and a member of the Windows Administrators group on the server where this procedure is run.

2.     In IIS Manager, in the Connections section, select the extended web application that you created, and then in the Actions section, click Bindings.

3.     The Site Bindings window opens. Select Edit.

4.     In the Edit Site Binding window, in the SSL certificate section, in the drop-down list, select SharePoint SSL, and then click Close.

5.     The SharePointSSL certificate is now bound to the extended web application.

·                   Export the SharePointSSL.cer certificate


This is the third of four SharePointSSL certificate management procedures. The SharePointSSL.cer certificate is exported so that it can be shared with the SAP administrator. This process is completed by using IIS Manager.

To export the SharePointSSL.cer certificate

1.     Verify that you have the following administrative credentials: Farm Administrators SharePoint group and a member of the Windows Administrators group on the server where this procedure is run.

2.     Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) by clicking Start, select Run, and then type MMC in the Run box.

3.     The MMC opens as Console 1.

4.     Select File, and then click Add/Remove Snap-in. The Add or Remove Snap-ins window opens.

19.  Click OK. The Certificate Export Wizard closes. You have exported the SharePointSSL.cer certificate to the location that you chose.

·                   Create an alternate access mapping


The web application that you created earlier must be available by using the URL that is specified in the SSL certificate that you bound to that web application. This is because the web application was not created by using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) but the certificate uses the FQDN. You must create an alternate access mapping to specify the URL that is listed in the certificate.

       Note:

An example of an FQDN is http://server.contoso.corp.com:3000. In this example, the short URL would be http://contoso:3000.

To complete this procedure, you must know the port number that you assigned to the extended web application and the fully qualified domain name in the certificate that you created. You recorded the port number of the extended web application earlier. You can view the FQDN by double-clicking the SharePointSSL.cer file in Windows Explorer.

To create an alternate access mapping

1.     In Central Administration, on the Quick Launch, click System Settings.

2.     In the Farm Management section, click Configure alternate access mappings.

3.     On the Alternate Access Mappings page, ensure that the web application to which you are configuring for Duet Enterprise 2.0 is listed in the Alternate Access Mapping Collection row on the top-right corner of the page. If this web application is not the web application that you are configuring for Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview, click the drop-down arrow, click Change Alternate Access Mapping Collection, and then select the web application that you want to configure from the list.

4.     On the Alternate Access Mappings page, click Add Internal URLs.

5.     In the Add Internal URL section, do the following:

a)     In the URL protocol, host and port box, type the FQDN for the URL of the extended port. This URL should be in the form of https://west.contoso.corp.com:3000.

b)    In the Zone list, select the zone that you want to use for this URL.

       Note:

This is the name of the zone that you selected when you extended the web application in the previous procedure.

6.     Click Save.

The alternate access mapping that you created appears on the Alternate Access Mappings page.

·                   Share the SharePointSSL.cer certificate with the SAP administrator


This is the final of four SharePointSSL certificate management procedures. The SharePointSSL.cer certificate is now created, bound, and exported from the SharePoint system. It must now be given to the SAP administrator who will use SAP trust manager to trust the certificate in the SAP system.

1.     Either share the location where the SharePointSSL.cer certificate is on the host computer file system, or transfer the file to an SAP host computer according to the SAP administrator’s instructions.

2.     When the SharePointSSL.cer is successfully transferred to the SAP administrator, you are ready to continue with the installation Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview on your host computer.

·                  Configure the RoleSync solution in Duet Enterprise for SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview


The Role Synchronization (RoleSync) solution provided with Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview enables SharePoint administrators to synchronize the SAP roles property that is stored in the SAP profile store with SharePoint user profiles. After role synchronization is performed, users can use SharePoint People Picker to grant permissions on any securable object in SharePoint, such as sites, lists, and files. It also enhances the Reporting solution because shared reports can only be shared by using SAP roles.

This article assumes the following:

·         An SAP administrator has created the SAP-user-to-SAP-role mapping in the SAP system.

·         A SharePoint administrator has started the User Profile Synchronization service and has created a Profile synchronization connection to the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) service that contains the user accounts that are used by the SharePoint Server farm. For information about how to complete these procedures, see Configure profile synchronization (SharePoint 2013 Preview).

·         The SharePoint administrator has synchronized the AD DS service with the SharePoint user profile store. For more information, see Manage profile synchronization (SharePoint 2013 Preview).

       Note:

The SharePoint user profiles to which you want to synchronize SAP roles must already exist before you perform role synchronization. SAP roles will only be synchronized with SharePoint user profiles that already exist. You can create these user profiles in the SharePoint user profile store manually but the recommended way for them to be created is to perform profile synchronization with AD DS.

In this article:

·         Before you begin





·         Configure role synchronization


·         Verification step


·                   Before you begin


Before you configure role synchronization, the SAP administrator must have completed the following:

·         Trusted the SSL certificate that you created earlier in Prepare the environment for Duet Enterprise for SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview.

The SharePoint administrator must have completed the following:

7.     In the Permissions for All Authenticated Users section (bottom section), ensure that the Execute check box is selected.

8.     Click OK.

       Note:

If at least one user has not yet been granted the Set Permissions permission on the Metadata Store, you might receive the following error message: “At least one user/group in the Access Control List must have the Set Permissions right to avoid creating a non-manageable object.” To resolve this issue, grant at least one user the Set Permissions permission on the Metadata Store.

·                   Ensure the Timer account has full control and verify name of User Profile service application


Use this procedure to ensure that members of the Farm Administrators group have full control permissions to the default User Profile service and the Business Data Connectivity service application in the SharePoint farm. The farm administrator who will configure profile synchronization, later in this article, must be granted this permission.

       Tip:

SharePoint Server 2013 Preview supports multiple User Profile service applications. However, Duet Enterprise role synchronization works only with the default User Profile service application.

       Note:

You must be a member of the Farm Administrators group or an administrator of the User Profile service application to complete this procedure.

To ensure that Timer account has full control

1.     In Central Administration, on the Quick Launch, click Central Administration.

2.     In the Application Management section, click Manage service applications.

3.     In the Type column, click the row that contains the default User Profile Service Application to select the row.

4.     The name of the User Profile service application is listed in the Name column. Note the name of this service application because you will need it for a later procedure.

5.     In the Sharing group of the ribbon, click Permissions.

6.     In the Connection Permissions dialog box, ensure that the farm administrator was granted Full Control permissions.

7.     Click OK.

·                   Provide the SharePoint Timer service account


You must provide the SAP administrator with the user account that is assigned to the SharePoint Timer service, also known as the SPTimerV4 service. The SAP administrator must ensure that this account is mapped to an SAP user who is granted sufficient permissions on the SAP system to query the UserRoles assignments query.

       Note:

You must be a member of the Windows Administrators group to complete this procedure.

To get the user account for the SharePoint Timer service

1.     Log on to a front-end web server in the SharePoint Server 2013 Preview farm as a member of the Administrators group.

2.     Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.

3.     In the Name column, right-click SharePoint Timer, and then click Properties.

4.     In the SharePoint Timer Service Properties dialog box, on the Log On tab, note the account name that is listed in the This account text box.

5.     Give this account name to the SAP administrator.

6.     Click Cancel to close the SharePoint Timer Service Properties dialog box.

·                   Configure role synchronization


This procedure creates the Business Connectivity Services connection between the SharePoint and SAP systems and updates the settings for the Profile Synchronization job definition that you will use in a later procedure to synchronize the SharePoint and SAP profile stores.

       Note:

You must be a member of the SharePoint Farm Administrators group to complete this procedure.

To configure role synchronization

1.     Open a Command Prompt window and go to the <drive>:\Program Files\Duet Enterprise\2.0 folder.

Where <drive> is the drive on which the Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview files are stored.

2.     At the command prompt type, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

DuetConfig.exe -ConfigureRoleSync –UserProfileServiceApplicationName <Name of your user profile application>

Where <Name of your user profile application> is the name of the User Profile service application that you are using for role synchronization. Note that you can find this name on the Manage Service Application page in Central Administration.

When role synchronization is configured, you received the following message: “The settings for the specified Profile Synchronization Job were updated successfully.”.

·                   Synchronize SAP roles with the SharePoint user profile store


       Note:

You must be a member of the Farm Administrators group to complete this procedure.

Before you start this procedure, do the following:

·         Ensure that the SAP administrator has configured an OData endpoint.

·         Ask the SAP administrator to ensure that the “Synchronize roles to consumers” job has finished running on the SAP system.

The SAP administrator must run the “Synchronize roles to consumers” job periodically to synchronize the user roles on the SAP system with the SAP profile store on the server that is running SAP NetWeaver. We recommend that you do not synchronize the SAP user profile store with the SharePoint user profile store until the SAP administrator has completed the synchronization job. Otherwise, the synchronization job between the SAP profile store and the SharePoint user profile store can take much longer to complete. Note that the “Synchronize roles to consumers” job takes approximately 80 minutes to synchronize 100,000 users, while synchronizing the profile store in SAP NetWeaver to the SharePoint user profile store takes approximately 100 minutes to synchronize 100,000 users. If you plan to schedule these synchronization jobs, we recommend that you run them manually first to determine how much time each takes, on average, to run on your systems.

To synchronize profiles

1.     In Central Administration, on the Quick Launch, click Monitoring.

2.     On the Monitoring page, in the Timer Jobs section, click Review job definitions.

3.     On the Job Definitions page, in the Title column, click the Duet Enterprise Profile Synchronization for <User Profile service application name> link.

Where <User Profile service application name> is the name of the User Profile service application that you are using for role synchronization.

       Tip:

If you have only one User Profile service application, by default this name is Duet Enterprise Profile Synchronization for User Profile Service Application.

4.     On the Edit Timer Job page, click Run Now.

       Note:

This timer job is scheduled to run one time per day but you can configure it to run less often if it causes a performance problem.

For more information about SharePoint timer jobs, see View timer job status (SharePoint 2013 Preview).

·                   Verification step


After role synchronization is complete, the SAP Roles property appears at the bottom of each SharePoint user profile page and displays the SAP roles that they are assigned to. These SAP roles will also be available in People Picker when granting permissions to securable objects, such as sites, list, and files. SAP roles will also be available when you run shared reports if you have configured the Reporting solution.

·                   Grant an SAP role permissions to a site


After the SAP user profile store is synchronized with the SharePoint user profile store, you can perform this procedure to grant users permissions to a site based on their SAP roles. Note that only sites that are in a web application that uses claims-based authentication and that are associated with the User Profile service application that you used to configured role synchronization are supported.

       Tip:

This procedure requires that the SAP roles have already been synchronized to the SharePoint user profile store.

       Note:

You must be a Site Owner to perform this procedure.

To grant an SAP role permissions to a site

1.     In a browser, go to the site for which you want to enable SAP roles.

2.     Click the Settings icon, and then click Site Settings.

       Tip:

The Settings icon resembles a gear.

3.     Under Users and Permissions, click Site Permissions.

4.     In the Grant group of the ribbon, click Grant Permissions.

5.     In the Grant Permissions dialog box, do the following:

a)     Click SHOW OPTIONS.

b)    Under Select a group or permission level, select the group or permission level to which you want to assign the SAP role.

c)     In the top box, type part of the SAP role’s name.

       Tip:

A drop-down list appears with all available SAP roles.

6.     Either finish typing the name of the SAP role or select it from the drop-down list, and then click Share.

 


·                  Uninstall Duet Enterprise for SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview


This article describes how to remove an installation of Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP Server 2.0 Preview. This includes removing all Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview solutions and all traces of Duet Enterprise components from the SharePoint Server 2013 Preview farm.

The procedures provided in this article do not remove files that contain SAP data from the SharePoint Server farm. For example, SAP reports that have been delivered to document libraries are not removed. If you want those files to be removed as well, we recommend that you delete the SAP reports manually. For example, you can delete the document libraries that contain the SAP reports or delete the individual reports.

In this article:

·         Uninstall all solutions


·                   Uninstall all solutions


If you want to remove all Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview solutions from all web applications and also unregister all Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview components, there are two commands that you must use:

·         DuetConfig.exe -uninstall   This command removes all solutions from all web applications and unregisters all Duet Enterprise components, at the same time. This command needs to run on only one web server in the SharePoint Server farm.

·         setup /uninstall   This command removes all traces of Duet Enterprise. This command must be run on all web and application servers in the SharePoint Server farm.

·          Uninstall all solutions


The following procedure explains how to uninstall all Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview solutions that you have deployed to a SharePoint Server farm and also how to remove all traces of Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview on each front-end web server and application server in the SharePoint Server farm.

       Note:

You must be a member of the Farm Administrators group to uninstall Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview solutions from SharePoint Server 2013 Preview.

To uninstall all solutions

1.     Verify that you have the following administrative credentials:

·         You must be a member of the Farm Administrators group to uninstall Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview solutions from SharePoint Server 2013 Preview.

2.     As administrator, open a Windows Command Prompt window on a front-end web server in the SharePoint Server 2013 Preview farm, and then go to <systemdrive>:\Program Files\Duet Enterprise\2.0.

This folder contains the DuetConfig.exe file.

3.     At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

DuetConfig.exe -uninstall

If this command is successful, you receive the following message: Duet Enterprise unconfiguration succeeded.

       Note:

This command removes all solutions from all web applications and unregisters all Duet Enterprise components at the same time.

4.     Next, at the command prompt, go to the folder that contains the Setup.exe file for Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview. If this file is not in the file system of the server that is running SharePoint Server 2013 Preview, you can locate this file on the DVD or ISO image from which Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview was installed.

5.     Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

setup /uninstall

If this command is successful, you receive the following message: Duet Enterprise setup completed successfully. Press any key to continue….

       Note:

You must repeat steps 4 and 5 on each front-end web server and application server in the SharePoint Server farm to completely remove all traces of Duet Enterprise 2.0 Preview.

When you run these commands, the server that is running SharePoint Server 2013 Preview creates a job request for each, puts each in the job queue, and then starts them. This might take several minutes to complete depending on how busy the server is at the time when you run these commands.

6.     To ensure that SharePoint Server 2013 Preview will not use the old .dll files if the solution is reinstalled, you must restart Internet Information Services (IIS) and SharePoint services as shown in the next procedure.

·                   Restart IIS and SharePoint services


To ensure that solutions that have been uninstalled can no longer be run in the SharePoint Server farm, you must restart IIS, the SharePoint Administration service, and the SharePoint Timer service.

Restarting or stopping IIS causes all sessions connected to your web server (including Internet, FTP, SMTP, and NNTP) to be dropped. When you restart the Internet service, all sessions connected to your web server are dropped. All Internet sites are unavailable until Internet services are restarted. For this reason, avoid restarting the Internet Information Services service during peak usage.

       Note:

You must be a member of the Windows Administrators group on each front-end web server in the network load balancing rotation of the SharePoint Server farm to complete these procedures.

To restart IIS

1.     Log on to the front-end web server of the SharePoint Server farm as a member of the Windows Administrators group.

2.     As administrator, open a Windows Command Prompt window.

3.     At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

iisreset /restart

4.     If this command is successful, you receive the following message: Internet services successfully restarted.

5.     If you have more than one front-end web server in the network load-balancing rotation for the SharePoint Server farm, repeat steps 1 through 4 for each remaining front-end web server.

To restart the SharePoint services

1.     Log on to the front-end web server of the SharePoint Server farm as a member of the Windows Administrators group.

2.     Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.

3.     In the Name column, right-click SharePoint Administration, and then click Restart.

4.     In the Name column, right-click SharePoint Timer Service, and then click Restart.

5.     If you have more than one front-end web server in the network load-balancing rotation for the SharePoint Server farm, repeat steps 1 through 4 for each remaining front-end web server.
