Request Management
Service Applications
Office Web Applications
SharePoint Apps
Upgrading to SharePoint 2013
Demonstration: Administering SharePoint 2013
6. Request Management
Enables SharePoint to process incoming requests according to
configurable rules
Run in integrated mode for most environments
Run in dedicated mode for large environments and multiple farms
Consists of three components:
Request Throtting and Routing
Request Prioritization
Request Load Balancing
Create routing rules and throttling rules to prioritize requests and
maintain service levels
7. Request Management
SharePoint Web Server
SharePoint Foundation Web Application Service
Filter out requests which should be throttled or prioritized
Select which web servers the request may be sent to
Select a single web server to route to, based upon weighting
schemes
Request Management Service
Incoming Requests
Configuration
8. Service Applications
The Application Management Service manages licenses and permissions
for SharePoint apps
SharePoint Translation Services provides automated, machine-based
translation of documents and content
The Work Management Service aggregates task data from other business
platforms in SharePoint My Sites
Office Web Applications and Web Analytics are no longer service
applications in SharePoint 15
9. Office Web Applications
Office Web Applications is now a separate server product
You can scale your Office Web Applications and SharePoint deployments
independently
One Office Web Applications farm can serve multiple SharePoint farms
Use Windows PowerShell to associate your SharePoint farm with an
Office Web Applications farm
10. SharePoint Apps
A new way of distributing and exposing functionality through the
SharePoint UI
App logic can run in the cloud or in the local environment
Apps can be purchased or downloaded from the Office Marketplace
The Corporate Catalog site collection makes apps available across a
SharePoint web application
Apps can only access SharePoint functionality through the CSOM
11. Upgrading to SharePoint 2013
Database attach upgrade is the only supported upgrade path from
SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 15
1. Create a new SharePoint 15 server farm
2. Migrate your content databases
3. Perform the upgrade
Upgrade of servers and databases is now separate from upgrade of site
collections
Site collections can continue to run in SharePoint 2010 mode
Platform supports both SharePoint 15 and SharePoint 2010 version of most
components and resources
12. Demonstration: Administering SharePoint 2013
Central Administration structure is unchanged
New options for managing SharePoint apps
New service applications
Application Management Service
SharePoint Translation Services
Work Management Service
App Fabric Application Proxy
Creating web applications
Only claims authentication is available through the UI
13. Lesson 2: Security and Identity Management
Authentication in SharePoint 2013
SharePoint 2013 and OAuth 2.0
Application Authentication and Authorization
Server to Server Authentication
14. Authentication in SharePoint 2013
Claims-based authentication is now the default option
Classic authentication mode has been deprecated
Three types of claims-based authentication are supported
Windows claims
FBA claims
SAML claims
Distributed Cache service tracks FedAuth cookies
Improved logging and diagnostics for authentication
15. SharePoint 2013 and OAuth 2.0
OAuth enables users to share specific resources with third parties
without sharing their access credentials
Third parties are issued with an access token
An access token grants access to a specific resource for a defined period
of time (for example 30 minutes)
SharePoint 15 implements and extends OAuth 2.0 for two scenarios:
Application authentication and authorization
Server to server authentication
16. Application Authentication and Authorization
1. User loads an app in SharePoint
2. App requests an access token from Azure ACS
3. ACS authenticates app and issues token
SharePoint
User
App
Azure ACS

4. App presents access token to SharePoint
5. SharePoint returns data to app
6. App presents data to user
17. Server to Server Authentication
Enterprise functionality relies on server applications sharing information
on behalf of users
The S2S STS issues access tokens that enable SharePoint to retrieve or
provide information on behalf of users
PowerShell is used to configure trust relationships between SharePoint,
Exchange, and Lync
SharePoint Server Exchange Server
