Configuring Claims-Based Authentication in SharePoint Server 2010
I thought it would be helpful to share my step-by-step procedures for manually configuring claims-based authentication in SharePoint Server 2010 using an “ASP.NET database” and corresponding membership and role providers. Note that the following TechNet article provides some of the steps for configuring claims-based authentication in SharePoint Server 2010 (using the LDAP provider instead of the ASP.NET SQL providers): Configure forms-based authentication for a claims-based Web application (SharePoint Server 2010) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee806890.aspx I had originally intended this post to simply serve as a precursor to my next post, but during the process of writing this post, I realized that there are many pieces lacking from the TechNet article. For example, if you use the current PowerShell script provided in the above TechNet article, you end up with a Web application that doesn’t support Search (because it does not enable both Windows authentication as well as Forms-Based Authentication)
