Best way ... bring ASP.NET 2.0 application onto SharePoint server

Sundar,

I have a FBA question, let me know, if you provide me some direction

I am having a problem to get FBA on my sharepoint website, can some please help out

Here are the steps, i have taken, would be happy to provide the code in ZIP files

ASP.NET

1. Created the Custom membership provider (DLL file) in asp.net (found sample on website)

2. Tested in asp.net web admin configuration tool, worked perfect

3. Connected to database, added/modified/deleted user everything worked fine in asp.net

4. Created a test website, added CreateUser.aspx,Login.aspx, tested it, everything worked fine in asp.net

5. Created strong name key for the custom membership dll

SHAREPOINT

What i want to do is to create a web application using forms authentication (my provider)

I am the administrator for the server, has full control on everything on this server

My central admin site is on port 10000.

Created New Website at Port 5000 --> Extended the site on port 5000 (Windows Authentication)

Used an existing sharepoint Pool, added myself as administrator as well as site collection administrators

Added beleow changes to web.config file of the Central admin and the site

In the central admin site the changed the defaultProvider to AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider

In the website, it styed the same as mentioned below HDIAspNetSqlRoleProvider

Above the system.wb tag

<connectionStrings>
<add name="HDIConnectionString" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=.;Database=HDIMembershipProvider;Trusted_Connection=True;"/>

</connectionStrings>

Inside system.web tag

<!--Custom Role Provider Configuration-->
<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="HDIAspNetSqlRoleProvider">
<providers>
<add name="HDIAspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

connectionStringName="HDIConnectionString" applicationName="/"
/>
</providers>
</roleManager

<!--Custom Role Provider Configuration-->

<!--Custom Membership Provider Configuration-->
<membership defaultProvider="HDIMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">

<providers>
<clear/>
<add
name="HDIMembershipProvider"
type="HDI.AspNet.Membership.HDIMembershipProvider"
connectionStringName="HDIConnectionString"
enablePasswordRetrieval="true"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
writeExceptionsToEventLog="false" />
</providers>
</membership>
<!--Custom Membership Provider Configuration-->

Next steps

1. Added the Custom Membership dll to GAC

2. Added the Custom Provider dll to the _appbin folder of central admin site

3. Added the Custom membership dll to the web.config (Compilation tag) of both central admin as well as the site.

4. For testing purposes Set the security to minimal

5. Application Management --> select the new site on port 5000 --> changed the Authentication to Forms

6. At this Point, if i can search the users using the custom provider, it resolves the id.

7. Use the URL for the site on port 5000 --> site comes up with Form authentication window -->Enter my userid and password, and hit the submit button

SHAREPOINT COMES UP WITH UNKNOWN ERROR

I have even contacted Andrew Connell, MVP Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and have used his article to do the FBA
