Migration of user permission from FBA SharePoint 2007 to Claims Provider

Question

Folks,

I have a migration schenerio in which FBA users permissions in SharePoint 2007 needs to migrated to a claims provider based model in 2010. 

I executed the SPWebApplication.MigrateUsers(true) and the permissions are now migrated.

But when viewed at the migrated permissions they are written based on the claim

ClaimType 	= "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/2009/08/claims/userlogonname"
OriginalIssuer 	= "Forms:membershipprovidername"
Value 		= "username"
ValueType 	= "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string"

But I don't have any issuer for forms instead i have a trusted provider which has identifying claim on http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/claims/emailaddress

Is there any direct support for migrating the permissions to identifying claim to which the web application has configured.

~Regards, bekz

Answer 1

I think i will have provide a tool which implements the interface

public interface IMigrateUserCallback
{
  string ConvertFromOldUser(
	string oldUser, 
	SPWebApplication.AuthenticationMethod authType, 
	bool isGroup);
}

And invoking 

public void SPWebApplication.MigrateUsers(IMigrateUserCallback callback)

> needs to migrated to a claims provider based model in 2010. 

Any question on upgrading or migrating to 2010 does NOT go to a pre-2010 forum.

Moving this to the 2010 Admin forum
