Hi,     Im working in integrating LiveID authentication in my Sharepoint site. Live id gives back a token of the user with which i created a dummy profile using MembershipProvider.CreateUser. Now i have to auto login the user with the profile i created, i mean i have to force login to my sharepoint site using the created dummy user details without asking the user to give username n password.Any suggestion will be a great help for me to proceed.   Thanks Saravanan Michael

Hi, I have CBA setup successfully on my sites.  One site is setup for anonymous access and I have disabled "client integration" on that web application. I have a list of MS Office documents on a wiki.  When I click on one I am asked to either save or open or cancel.  Saving works fine but when I choose open, it launches the associated MS Office app.  I am then prompted for a login from CBA.  I can click cancel and the logon screen appears again.  After clicking cancel the 2nd time the document appears in the MS Office app, Word in this case. My question is how do I prevent my users from being prompted for a CBA login when clicking on these files and opening them in the native app on their machine?      --TR

Hi, I have SP 2010 sucessfully installed on a Windows 2008 R2 server with SQL Server 2008 R2.  I created local machine accounts for the following: MACHINE\mssqlservice MACHINE\sp_admin MACHINE\sp_search MACHINE\sp_farms I have setup 2 sites with public facing internet access as well as local sites. I have CBA working properly on both sites from both public and private access. My problem is that when I go to search, I am constantly redirected to an error page. I have checked all SP services on the server and they are all running as MACHINE\mssqlservice That account has proper access to all sites as well as all DB's. My search is crawling and I get one error from a long named PDF file in my site, which is OK.   My questions is if my CBA is working fine and my search is crawling, why I am not getting a results page when I search from the sites:   Here is the error I get:   Error Internal server error exception:   Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. Correlation ID: 5a03b730-42c2-48c9-a220-3b9d052481de Date and Time: 9/9/2010 4:45:07 PM   I am kind of stuck at this point and am not sure how to proceed.  Any help would be appreciated.        --TR

Does anybody know of a guide or reference for setting up hosting in a multi tenant where authentication happens in claims based mode?

 

We have a setup where our clients are hosted on a single web application under different site collections. And we use forms authentication where user of a particular site collection gets authentication using the respective database. We now want to use claims based authentication and out-of-the-box multi-tenancy of SP 2010. We can setup site collections and site groups, but how do we implement claims based authentication in an env like this?

Hello guys,

I have a SharePoint farm with 2 WFE servers(SH01 and SH02) and 1 Application server(SH03) where there's the Central Admin. When I create a WebApplication with Windows Authentication I can access it normally in both address http://SH01:10000 and http://SH02:10000. When I create a WebApplication with Claims Based Authentication enabling FBA when I try to access it with the address above occurs an error:

The WebApplication at http://SH01:10000/  could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.

I have noticed that the difference between authentication is that FBA redirect to "_login/" when I can choose what type of authentication I want to login(In this case Windows or Forms).

Are there some extra configuration that I have to do to solve this problem?

Thanks
