Hi Chris, I’m not sure if you still look at the blog. I have run through the instructions and have completed each step but on step 4 when I try to deploy the wsp using the powershell I get the ……. Progress indicators which never complete or if I try manually to activate the solution it never completes. I have a fresh install of SharePoint SE patched to kb50002681. I am wondering if the solution is still compatible. The FBA is seams to be working as I get the correct fba login box. Any thoughts

In reply to Baju.

I think the actual error being generated will be in the event viewer. If not, you might have to change the error display settings in IIS/web.config.

Does the windows auth work if you change it back to using windows auth only in the Web Application settings?

Are you running this with HTTPS?

Hi, I have configured the FBA as per this article and it is showing the “windows authentication and form based authentication” On the login page. However if I select the fba authentication it is asking the credentials which is fine.
When I select windows authentication it is giving runtime error.

Error: the current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely(for security reasons). It could be browse in local servers. This error is coming. Can any one help plz

In reply to ermiyas belay. It is - the instructions for SharePoint 2016/2019 and the FBA Pack for 2016/2019 still work for the latest version of SharePoint (SharePoint Subscription Edition).
