WSS 3.0 for Hosters Solution Kit now available on CodePlex
At the Microsoft Hosting Summit about a month ago, the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 for Hosters Solution Kit was announced. This kit would include the following custom components:
- Forms-based authentication module that extends the SQL Server membership provider and scopes users down to the individual site.
- Web services that provision WSS sites as well as both Active Directory and SQL Server users.
- Web parts that facilitate adding new users and changing user passwords.
- HTTP module that redirects a subdomain such as: http://blogs.intranet.fabrikam.com to http://intranet.fabrikam.com/blogs.
The Solution Kit is now available with full source code and detailed installation documentation at http://www.codeplex.com/SharePointHosters.
The Solution Kit is composed of two integrated applications. The first is the Solution Configurator tool, which a hoster would use to configure solutions based on WSS 3.0 application templates.
The second is the Starter Kit, which a hoster's end-customer would use to create a site based on solutions that were created though the Solution Configurator.
