Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint

Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint can replace SharePoint Server search features in environments where scale and performance requirements exceed the capabilities of SharePoint Server search. FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint can be deployed across multiple servers for redundancy and to increase performance and capacity. Deployment and management take place primarily through command-line operations — not the SharePoint Central Administration Web site — and can be scripted by using Windows PowerShell. FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint is only available with a SharePoint Server Enterprise Client Access License (CAL).

The following table describes the cmdlets for FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint.

Cmdlet name

Get-SPEnterpriseSearchExtendedConnectorProperty

User Profile Service cmdlets (SharePoint Server 2010)

Updated: 2009-12-14

[This article is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases.]

In Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, the User Profile Service is used to store and process information about users. This information is stored as a collection of user profile properties per user. The user information must be imported into the user profile store before it can be used by various personalization-related features and people search. These properties can be imported from line-of-business applications and directory services (primarily Active Directory directory service and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)).

In SharePoint Server 2010, the use of social tagging, expertise tagging, and profile synchronization are new features.

SharePoint Server 2010 provides an enterprise-wide repository for storing social and expertise tags and for associating those tags with a user’s profile. Administrators can control who can tag items on a given site, decide which tags can be used, and delete tags prior to a specific date or based on a specific user profile ID. Tagging relies on the Managed Metadata Service and can be enabled by using either the UI or Windows PowerShell cmdlets.

Profile synchronization synchronizes data in the SharePoint profile store with profile information contained in directory services across the enterprise, such as Active Directory or LDAP. After a connection to the appropriate directory service has been set up, profile synchronization can be scheduled to run on a regular basis.

You can use User Profile Service Windows PowerShell cmdlets to create and configure the User Profile Service and profile tags, and to configure permissions and all global settings for the User Profile Service.

The following cmdlets are available for Beta.

Cmdlet name

New-SPProfileServiceApplication

Set-SPProfileServiceApplication

New-SPProfileServiceApplicationProxy

Set-SPProfileServiceApplicationProxy

Add-SPProfileServiceApplicationTenant

Remove-SPProfileServiceApplicationTenant

Set-SPProfileServiceApplicationTenant

Secure Store Service cmdlets (SharePoint Server 2010)

Updated: 2009-12-14

[This article is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases.]

In Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, the Secure Store service replaces the single sign-on (SSO) service that was used in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The Secure Store Service is a claims-aware authentication service that includes a secure database for storing credentials that are associated with application IDs. These application IDs can be used to authorize access to external data sources. The Secure Store Service provides the capability of securely storing credentials and associating them to specific identities or a group of identities. A common scenario for Secure Store Servcie is an application trying to authenticate against a system in which the current user is known by a different name or has a different account for authentication. When used with Microsoft Business Connectivity Services, the Secure Store Service provides a means to authenticate against external data sources.

When you use Windows PowerShell cmdlets, you can create and configure a Secure Store Service instance, configure the settings of a credentials database, and configure all global settings of the Secure Store Service.

The following cmdlets are available for Beta.

Cmdlet name

Clear-SPSecureStoreCredentialMapping

Update-SPSecureStoreCredentialMapping

Disable-SPSingleSignOn

Get-SPSecureStoreApplication

New-SPSecureStoreApplication

Remove-SPSecureStoreApplication

Set-SPSecureStoreApplication

New-SPSecureStoreServiceApplication
