Configuring forms based authentication (FBA) in SharePoint 2013 is very similar to SharePoint 2010, but there are some differences due to SharePoint 2013 using .Net 4.0. The web.config entries entries are slightly different. As well, IIS doesn’t support editing .Net 4.0 membership provider configuration through the IIS interface, so all of the configuration has to be done directly in the .config files. I’ll go through all of the steps required to setup FBA for SharePoint 2013, from start to finish. \u00a0I’ve broken down the steps into 4 sections:<\/p>\n

Part 1 – Creating the Membership Database<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 2 – Adding Users to the Membership Database<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 3 – Editing the Web.Config Files<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 4 – \u00a0Configuring SharePoint<\/a><\/p>\n

Part 4 – \u00a0Configuring SharePoint<\/h2>\n

Now that the membership and role provider have been configured, we can configure SharePoint to use them. \u00a0For this example i’m going to create a new SharePoint web application. \u00a0The same settings can be applied to an existing web application through the Authentication Providers dialog.<\/p>\n
