Installing FIM 2010 R2 on SharePoint Foundation 2013

With Microsoft® Forefront® Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 R2 SP1, you can install the FIM portal on SharePoint Foundation 2013.

This topic lists the conditions that must be met and the related configuration steps.

Prerequisites and Verification Steps

To install the FIM 2010 R2 portal on SharePoint Foundation 2013, the following conditions must be satisfied:

  1. The SharePoint 2013 site collection runs in 2010 experience mode.

    To verify, in the SharePoint 2013 Management command-line shell, enter the following commands and verify that the return value is 14:

    • $spSite = SpSite("https://www.contoso.com");

    • $spSite.CompatibilityLevel

  2. Server-side viewstate needs to be disabled.

    To disable server-side viewstate, perform the following steps in the SharePoint 2013 Management command-line shell:

    • $contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService;

    • $contentService.ViewStateOnServer = $false;

    • $contentService.Update();

  3. Self-service upgrades on SharePoint Foundation 2013 from SharePoint 2010 experience mode to 2013 experience mode are disallowed.

    To disallow, perform the following steps in the SharePoint 2013 Management command-line shell:

    • $spSite = SpSite("https://www.contoso.com");

    • $spSite.AllowSelfServiceUpgrade = $false

  4. Claims-based authentication needs to be off.

    To verify, in the SharePoint 2013 Management command-line shell, enter the following commands:

    • $webapp = Get-SPWebApplication " https://www.contoso.com"

    • $webapp.UseClaimsAuthentication

    If claims-based authentication is on, you need to delete the existing default SharePoint web application (running on https://www.contoso.com/) and create a new one with classic-mode Windows authentication.

    In SharePoint 2013, creating a new SharePoint web application with classic-mode Windows Authentication can be only accomplished through PowerShell by entering the following commands:

    • $adminCredentials = get-credential domain\contosoAdmin

    • $adminManagedAccount = New-SPManagedAccount -Credential $adminCredentials

    • New-SpWebApplication -Name "FIM SharePoint Web Application" -ApplicationPool "FIMAppPool" -AuthenticationMethod "Kerberos" -ApplicationPoolAccount $adminManagedAccount -Port 80 -URL https://www.contoso.com

Important

Violating any of the above conditions will be caught by the setup prerequisite checks and will block the installation of the portal.

Important

In-place upgrade of SharePoint Foundation 2010 to SharePoint Foundation 2013 with the FIM portal already installed is not supported.
