Configure User Profile in SharePoint Farm

Introduction

I am going to share an idea to configure the User profile in Farm solution. Let see

Web Application

At first, Create a new web application for My Site with "Mysite Host" site collection. This web application will be act as My site once all configuration is done.

Set "Personal" to define managed path for created web application. Steps are,
  • Select the created new web application under Manage Web Applications
  • Then, Click Managed Paths at top ribbon
  • Add "Personal" as New path and click OK




User Profile Config 

Do the following configuration steps,
  • Browse your Central Admin site
  • Click Manage service applications under Service Applications category
  • Create New User profile service if you do not have for it. 
  • Click New at top ribbon, then choose User Profile Service in drop down menu
  • Give a name for New User Profile Service Application and click Create
  • we may find created service application in Manage service application category
  • We will get the properties of Service once you clicked that
  • There we have option to click Setup Mysite under My Site Settings
  • Here, we will have lot of properties regarding my site. Give your My site host web application url in My Site Host option
  • Give permission to Everyone; All Users(Windows) in Read Permission Level option and click Ok at bottom
  • Then, Need to Review job definition in Monitoring --> Timer Jobs. Because, all feeds about users will get populate when this timer job is run at once



  • We will see the list of jobs. Select User Profile Service with Activity Feed job suffix (For ex: User Profile Service App - Activity Feed job

  • We may get Edit timer job properties once we clicked Review job definition
  • It shows 10 minutes by default. If you want change the time limit, do it. otherwise let it be and click Run Now

That' all. User Profile has configured in your SP farm
