SharePoint Chrome Control

Image
Hi Friends, today lets talk about the ‘Chrome Control’ in SharePoint Add-in. I hope you all aware of the name change that Microsoft had brought for SharePoint Apps which is now represented as ‘Add-In’. Don’t be scared about the control, this is nothing but the SharePoint Bar which is termed as Chrome Control. Whether it is SharePoint on-premise or SharePoint online the SharePoint Bar will have some links, settings icon, help icon. Also, the app site will have the ribbon control with the link to the parent site and other stuff. This best part of the chrome control is the client-side rendering where it is rendered based on the options and the use of ‘SP.UI.Controls’ js file which we will see later in this post. By default, when you create a SharePoint Hosted Add-in the default.aspx it will inherit from the ‘default.master’ which has the chrome control added. There are so many ways in which SharePoint Add-in can be developed and it is not mandatory that .aspx file should be the start pa...

Visual Upgrade: You could use this feature to upgrade from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 to give Site Collection Owner and Site Owner to preserve the existing user interface temporarily while still upgrading the infrastructure, content databases, site collections and features to the latest version. Now this feature is replaced with “ Deferred Site Collection” upgrade which is considered as more comprehensive upgrade process than visual upgrade. Visual Upgrade preserved only the master pages, CSS files and the HTML files but the Deferred Site Collection upgrade with preserve much more including SPFeature functionality. With the deferred site collection upgrade you can use the UI feature from the previous version more seamlessly than with the visual ...

Authentication and Authorization in SharePoint 2013

Hi SharePoint friends , Today I am going to give u a short and sweet about the authentication and authorization in SharePoint 2013 and the improvements in SharePoint 2013. The contents available in this post are taken various sites and MSDN. What is authentication in SharePoint? It is a provider that validates the users identity who request access to the web application, Once validated it issues the authenticated user a security token that encapsulates a set of claims based assertions about the user and is used to verify a set of permission assigned to the user. What is authorization in SharePoint? It is the process that determines the defined operation on a specified resource within the web application of the authenticated user. I think you are very clear about the authentication and authorization concept in SharePoint. The following are the recommended methods of authentication in SharePoint 2013 Windows claim Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)-based claims Form-...
