In my least privileged SharePoint 2016 farm, I am able to login with Windows Identity or with FBA

When I go to FBA Site Configuration and select enable roles, and click OK, this makes the ability to edit previously created users generate a correlation ID.

When I uncheck enable roles, then I can create users and edit users, if I check enable roles on FBA Site Configuration, then I can no longer create users or edit existing. And when I click on FBA Role Management, I’m getting a correlation id,

turns out I had the role provider listed in the profile section in the machine config and not in the role provider.

Thanks and sorry about the informational post.

I think it’s a misconfiguration of your membership provider. If it only happens when you enable roles, check the roles section of the .config file specifically.

I am actually getting two issues.

When trying to navigate to:
http://portal.domain.com/_layouts/15/FBA/Management/UserEdit.aspx?UserName=Stacy&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fportal%2Edomain%2Ecom%2F%5Flayouts%2F15%2FFBA%2FManagement%2FUsersDisp%2Easpx

or when trying to create a new user,

SharePoint is throwing a correlation ID.

This seems to happen if I try to enable roles.

Please let me know if you need any thing else? I can provide a full stack trace if needed, thanks

There is a link between the review list and the membership request web part – however it only works if email is setup on SharePoint. If email is not setup, you’ll see errors in your SharePoint logs when a user is added, and they will not be added to the review list.

If the FBA User Management page works, but you can’t login, then you have an issue with the SecurityTokenService web.config. Check part 3 for details of properly setting it up.

So there is no link between Site Membership Review List and Membership Request(webpart) page.

I have added the user manually using user management page but when i try login in through FBA .I’m getting an error stating
“The server could not sign you in. Make sure your user name and password are correct, and then try again”.

The membership request web part requires email to be working for it to work. If you want to manually add the user without email working, you’ll have to use the FBA User Management page.

Thank you it is very good article.
I have followed all the steps .I’m using publishing site template for site collection creation.
I have deployed SharePoint 2013 FBA Pack.everything is working fine
I am able to login , create user , change password but still new users created using the NewMembershipRequest.aspx created using webpart are not showing in Review list have checked there are users created in the FBA database and the approved flag set to 0 .

And in my system Email setting is not done so i want manually the user to added the password how can i do

Hi Jeff,

Unfortunately SharePoint user profiles are stored at the site collection level, so although you can still access the usernames and authenticate to the site – all of the user profile information (full name, email address…) is private to each site collection. So the information would have to be re-entered on the new site collection. The people picker should work – but only with the usernames.

Now, you can turn on user profile synchronization, so all site collections will share the same profile information. Unfortunately though, it takes it’s “Master” profile information from “My Sites”. So if My Sites isn’t enabled/their profile isn’t filled out on there, it will actually ERASE your existing user profile information on your original site collection. So be careful with that.

Thanks,
Chris

Glad to hear you got it working!
