Forms Authentication users not resolved

Question

Hello,

I have configured FBA as described here:

http://donalconlon.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/configuring-forms-base-authentication-for-sharepoint-2010-using-iis7/

Everything seems to work fine, however I don't want my users to choose the login provider, I want a different url for Forms authentication and different for Windows authentication. Therefore, I have extended my web application and I have kept Windows authentication for the default zone and Forms Authentication for the internet zone.

I have configured membership provider and role provider for both zones and it seems to work fine as I can login to both zones without problem.

However, when I navigate to People and Groups from my default zone (Windows Authentication) I cannot resolve users created on the SQL and vice versa, on internet zone (FBA ) I cannot resolve my active directory users.

 I have read that I need to add my membership provider on PeoplePickerWildCards but that didn't work either.

<PeoplePickerWildcards>
         <clear />
         <add key="FBAMembershipProvider" value="%" />
	<add key="FBARoleProvider" value="%"/>
	<add key="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" value="%" /> 
</PeoplePickerWildcards>

Can you please help me out with that?

Hi,

I have also faced same issue so far but could not found any solution. So i had enable both authentication on both applications. But i had created custom login page which could be able to redirect user based on their authentication.

So you need to compare enter URL and redirect to login page based on user authentication.

For creating custom login page: http://kalashnikovtechnoblogs.blogspot.in/2011/08/custom-login-page-for-sharepoint-2010.html

To find the mode: http://jcapka.blogspot.in/2010/12/nicer-claims-login-page-sharepoint-2010.html

Hope it could help

Hello Hemendra Agrawal,

I hoped for another answer, but that will do the trick I guess.

Thanks for your time :)
