How to add an existing directory as a new AD in Azure - api

I have an office 365 account who's directory I want to attach as a new Tennant (probably wrong terminology there) in my Azure account. I'm trying to use the new Office 365 API preview against my existing Office 365 account. So I'm trying to link these two accounts via the Active Directory in Azure.
I log in to my Azure account, go to the Active Directory Node, And select custom create. Nowhere is there an option to "Use existing directory" that I can point to my 365 subscription.
I keep reading documentation that says there should be a dropdown to let me choose that. But I'm not seeing it. All I see are text boxes for "Name", "Domain Name" and Country or region.
Below are two links that mention being able to select "existing" but I'm not seeing it. Has there been a new way to implement this? Or perhaps its some kind of permissions issue. I'm not being given the option to do so because I have insufficient rights.

Report Provider to Clients

I have a web solution with about 1000 clients. Nowadays they have access to reports that I provide as a PDF: an ASP.NET script executes SP's in the database and with PDFReactor I create a PDF. This is online and as you may already be guessing, it is unmanageable for large data sets.
I was thinking of using a reporting solution, as Power BI, Tableau or... Qlik. In my investigations I have found out that Qlik is the most complete solution for what I want. Nevertheless, I still have some questions, regarding the application architecture and how I can integrate Qlik with my application.
The first question is how I manage my users? I have a custom authentication provider and user management inside my application... What is the best way to integrate with Qlik? I manually configure all the clients in the Qlik Server also? There are endpoints to do it automatically?
The second question is how I manage what a client can see inside a Qlik document (QVW). I want to have several unique QVD, where several QVW get their data from. But I don't want to create a QVW for each client!! Can I filter a QVW based on a user authentication?
I would like that my clients could see the reports dynamically inside my web app. But my conclusion so far is that the web view of Qlik is static and that for more dynamism my users would have to use Qlik View desktop. Correct?
And this leads me to the final question: does my clients would have to pay licenses or is everything on my side and responsibility?
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
David
Out of the box QlikView Server (see 4.2) uses NTFS authentication (local windows users or Active Directory). There is something called DMS - ticket based authentication which allow non Windows users to be authorized to access apps. A bit more info here
QlikView have something called Section Access which is on file (qvw) level. Section Access is part of the QV script. Basically you can create link between user name and data field. The main file will contain all the data but when the user open the document he/she can see only the data that its relevant to this username. More info here and here
For example:
user1 -> can see only UK data
user2 -> can see UK and USA data
user3 -> can see all the data
... etc
The web app and the desktop app are the same. The web client provide same level of interaction as the desktop so you can slice and dice your data as you want
4.1 QV desktop (personal edition) is free but you can open up to 5 qvw files which are not "yours" (not created with the current instance of the personal edition) and the clients need to install it locally on their computers
4.2 QV server is not free. With QV server all the clients are accessing the QV apps via the browser. You (as administrator) are buying the licenses from Qlik Partner and it's up to you if you want to charge your customers or not (and how much)

How to re-publish already published InfoPath list to different Sharepoint List?

I have created one InfoPath list and published it to my SharePoint test site. Now I want to publish the same InfoPath list to my final SharePoint site. When I open or 'save as' the InfoPath list, the previously published site location is always attached to it. But I want to change the publish location to different site. If I am not able to do that then I need to create similar InfoPath list and then publish it to different location. But it's all wastage of time.
I have read the same article posted here but I didn't get the solution. Please anyone could help me to fix my problem.
First save the InfoPath to a different location using save as.
Then publish the form to the new destination by doing:
Go to the File Tab
Select Publish from the toolbar on the left
Select Sharepoint Server
Specify details of the destination: Server address, list name, etc
The form will then be available on the specified destination

Sharepoint 2010 External Content Type list

I'm taking my first crack at creating an External list in Sharepoint 2010. I've taken 3 training classes in Sharepoint 2010, and am now trying to transfer my knowledge to my own development environment. I've followed the steps for creating my External Content type in Micorosoft sharepoint designer. I am connecting the External Content Type to a table in an external SQL Server Database. I've created a list specifying this External Content type. I've also given all authenticated users permission. I've verified that BCS is running, and all looks good. I've also checked and double checked the steps I used in creating the external content type and list, by referring to the lab manual from my Sharepoint class.
When I try to navigate to display the list, I get this very informative error message:
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.
Correlation ID:b7c91266-bbbc-4703-8704-beccbbd92de0
I've tried opening this page in Sharepoint Designer but this doesn't seem to help me. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any gotcha's that I should be looking for.
Whenever you see a correlation ID, then you should be able to get more information on the failure in the ULS output. Search for that Correlation ID in the logs and you should get plenty of additional information.
If you don't find much in the ULS logs, then change the settings to log additional information.
you need to check selection of primary key of sql tables while retrieving data to list.
To capture the error being thrown, use the SharePoint LogViewer app from CodePlex: http://sharepointlogviewer.codeplex.com/
You need to run it on your server and hit the Play Button at the
top. This starts the Live Monitoring.
Refresh your page that will give you the error with the Correlation ID.
Stop The LogViewer and filter the results by the Correlation Field.
Copy and paste the ID from your browser into the filter field.
You will now see a list of what errors are being thrown in relation to the Correlation ID.
I hope this helps out!

Setting Security Levels in Access 2007

I have created a split database in Access 2007 and need to set user level security. I don't want the users to have access to any of the tables or queries etc. I've created a form so when the database is opened it automatically opens where the user can choose an application to run. How would I go about setting the security levels for each user?
I found the below links using Google. Bit sarcy but it would always be my first port of call without further info or details in a given question showing research already done.

SharePoint 2010 profile synchronization AD to MOSS in BOTH Direction

Our company want to setup a User Profile Synchronization on SharePoint 2010.
In Manage User Properties page, we can successfully configure a property to either import from AD to MOSS or export from MOSS to AD!
However, we want to configure some properties that allow synchronize in both direction, which is actual meaning of "Synchronize". We wonder if it was possible in MOSS 2010?
Thanks a lot.
The difficulty in your situation is for the system to know which is the source for the data. If someone changes their phone number in AD and also in SharePoint, which is correct? Usually some fields are set to have AD as their source and you set SharePoint to import.
And other fields are set to have SharePoint as the source and set SharePoint to export. Setting both import and export on a field is a lot trickier because when the values don't match you need to have rules in place about how to figure out which is one wins.
No. SharePoint 2010 User Profile Sync does not do 2-way sync, and cannot be configured to do so.
