Do you know if we lose any Microsoft Office coupling capabilities when using Forms Authentication?

Hi,

Very good explanation but I have this question.

What I’m trying to do is write a custom membership provider that authenticates the users via a custom web service. The Membership Provider doesn’t communicate with the SQL server at all it communicates with the web service for all of its operations and the WS in-turn connects to the SQL server.

I have implemented most of the methods and properties (some still throw not implemented exception) and ValidateUser and Initialize methods do get called (in debug mode). The issue I’m running into is GetUser never gets called when I try to Search for users in MOSS administration site to add users into the site or set site collection administration using the people picker.

Since my provider is not directly communicating with backend system directly, I do not have connectionString in the web.config file. Could that be the issue ?

Here’s the web.config setting

<membership>

                                               <providers>

                                               <remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"/>

                                            <add name="MembershipTest" passwordAttemptWindow="10" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"

requiresUniqueEmail="false" applicationName="MyTest"

type="DEMembershipProvider.Custom.CustomAuthenticationProvider, DEMembershipProvider, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=116c9f5eed79bbc1" />

</providers>

</membership>

This is the only update to the config file both in the application and central admin.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Well, well well.... Found the fix for the issue I posted earlier.

<membership> should be changed to :

<membership defaultProvider="MembershipTest">

defaultProvider is required otherwise the People Picker wouldn't search.

Hello,

I made all settings as described in this article but every time I got 403 error in browser with eventlog error

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

System.NullReferenceException

  at Microsoft.Dynamics.WebParts.SessionItem.Init()

When I access sharepoint pages without axapta components, everything works perfect! But axapta beb parts failed to initialize.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi all,

I've followed all the steps.

The active directory authentication seems to validate, but after that...

ACCESS DENIED

What about the axapta validation?

Does axapta business connector need the "Domain\" before the Username to login?

Any suggestion?

Hey Raul,

I am facing same issue as your where i am getting Access Denied error . were you able to find solution for this?

Hi Raul and SShah,

We are also facing the same problem. could you suggest the solution if you have any.

Regards,

Rahul

Hey Rahul,

You will need to mention the admin of your site collection, map an AD user to your site collection and it should work

thanks

I had an issue this week that I was unable to sign in to my personal WSS site. for some reason the popup

I have done all the required things, about the FBA doesn't work.

I get the login page "_layouts/login.aspx" but after click Login,I get the message "Page or Site not found"

I don't no what is the problem? The configuration parameters in the web.config?

I've the authentication set up for my SharePoint site, but it seems it won't resolve usernames in the Central Administration when trying to change the Site Collection Administrators. I've googling for this, but haven't found anything much relevant to this particular problem. Any ideas on what to look for?

Is it possible to combine FBA and Domain based Authentication on one site in WSS 3.0?

We are using the web based interface for external partners but would like to have domain based for our own users.
