In reply to Amardeep. Hey Amardeep, how did you use FBA with AD. Did you make any additional database for that? thanks

Hi, is it possible to have FBA users create their own mysites?

If you’re getting a page runtime error my guess is that there’s a typo somewhere in your config file – maybe not having a matching closing tag or missing quotations or something like that. Though it’s probably best to find out what the error actually is. I’d take a look at the windows event log, I expect it will give you a hint as to what is happening (In this case, I think the error will be in the windows event log, though potentially it is in the sharepoint log file instead).

If you want to test your actual database connection string and membership config values, you can use IIS to test directly with it’s .Net Profiles, Users and Roles pages.

Hi,
We are migrating from SP 2013 on a domain to 2019 domainless, whilst trying to use Azure SQL MI. SharePoint 2019 is working using Azure SQL MI, however I cannot get forms authentication working. After performing the install i then change the webconfig however then i get an page runtime error, I believe this is due to the webconfig connection string and SQL authentication (as there is no windows authentication with Azure SQL MI).
Using the connection string from Azure would be:
Server=tcp:example01.asddef38aw60e.database.windows.net,1433;Persist Security Info=False;User ID={your_username};Password={your_password};MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;
so example of string i am trying is:

Do you know if this is correct or point me in right direction.

In reply to Lon Ramsey.

The full name is stored in the user’s user profile in the SharePoint site collection. If you upgrade an existing site collection from SP2010 to SP2016, these user profiles should upgrade along with it (though any new site collection will not have the user profile information).

For an existing site collection, one possibility could be that when the user is logging in they are being identified as a new user instead of an existing user, so are getting a new user profile. SharePoint’s full internal username is a combination of the membership provider name + the username – so if the name of the membership provider changed between 2010 and 2016, all users will be treated as new users until you change the membership provider name back to what it was in 2010 (you can also perform a user ‘migration’ to change the internal name of the users to match the new membership provider name – but it’s much easier just to change the membership provider name).

We transferred the database from SP2010 to SP2016, but the user’s Full Name appears to have been lost. Where is the Full Name stored?

Thank you,
Lon
