Create self-signed SSL certificates for SharePoint 2013

-
Self-signed certificate is an identity certificate that is signed by the same entity whose identity it certifies. This term has nothing to do with the identity of the person or organization that actually performed the signing procedure. In technical terms a self-signed certificate is one signed with its own private key.


Create a self-signed certificate for a local computer for one or more of the following reasons:
  • Troubleshooting third-party certificate problems.
  • Managing IIS remotely. 
  • Creating a secure private channel between your server and a limited, known group of users, such as that in a software test environment.
  • Testing features that rely on SSL settings.

-
Reference is : 2013 advanced Training User Profile Service administrators in SharePoint 2013 can use profile synchronization to manage and synchronize the user and group profile data stored in the SharePoint 2013 profile store with profile data stored in directory services and BDC systems.

Usage and Popularity Trends Report not showing correct numbers

Recently came into issue that popularity trends showing zero while users are accessing documents so I have that there is a parameter called TailTrimming as mentioned in this reference blog   https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/tothesharepoint/2014/01/23/view-and-configure-usage-analytics-reports-in-sharepoint-server-2013/ For example, for the Views usage event the TailTrimming parameter is by default set to 3. This means that the usage analytics reports will be updated for an item when the item has been viewed a minimum three times within the last 24 hours. For example, if the item Fabrikam Laptop16 M6000 has been viewed twice within the last 24 hours, these two views won’t show up in the usage analytics reports. If within the next 24 hours the Fabrikam Laptop16 M6000 item is viewed 4 times, the usage analytics report will be updated with 4 views. to adjust it needs to run the following commands $SSP = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplicationProxy $tenantConfig = $SSP.GetAn
