Question

could you please explain claims based authentication in brief and its benefit over classic authentication.

Answer 1



Overview of Advanced Claims-Based Authentication Scenarios

An important aspect of claims-based authentication in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is that solution developers can use its power programmatically to enable more advanced authentication scenarios.

This article walks you through different scenarios that involve the following tasks:

• Creating custom login pages

• Customizing the authentication selection page

• Adding context-based claims to the user's claims token

• Authenticating from a client application

• Migrating authentication schemes to SharePoint 2010 that are based on Internet Server API (ISAPI)

• Supporting the claims token that is issued by SharePoint 2010 in claims-aware web services

• Enabling high-security authentication, including two-factor authentication (2FA), in SharePoint 2010
