-
After you configure the external FBA site [http://fbasp.codeplex.com/ or http://fazlulchowdhury.blogspot.com/2009/03/configuring-mixed-authentication-in.html]. You will need to manage the users for the external site. You may need following pages to make it complete.

1. Customized Login Page with Links to Register New User and Forgot Password
2. New User Registration Page
3. Forgot Password Page
4. Change Password Page

You may want to download the Community Kit for SharePoint [http://cks.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=5134] and install [Deploy.cmd http://dcftsd1:1111] in to SharePoint Site before configuring FBA User Management. Then do the following stuff one by one:

1. Add requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" in the web.config of the SharePoint site

<add connectionStringName="SqlProviderConnection" name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" applicationName="/" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" />

2. Customize Email Body from all xslt files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\FBA\EMAILS

3. Create a Document Library [say: Pages]

4. Add 4 basic aspx pages [ChangePassword.aspx, Login.aspx, MembershipRequest.aspx, PasswordRecovery.aspx]

5. Open up each page and add respective FBA User Management Web Parts. Add a Content Query Web part in the Login Page below Login web part and add the following texts into the Source Editor:

<a href="/Pages/PasswordRecovery.aspx" target="_self">Forgot Password?</a><br>
<a href="/Pages/MembershipRequest.aspx" target="_self">Request for Membership?</a><br>

6. Goto SharePoint Administration Site and goto Manage Applications->Authentication Providers. Click on Default and Internet to set the Anonymous checked. We need this to provide Anonymous access to the Pages Docuemnt library.

7. Then goto the Internal site -> Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Advanced Permissions. Then click on Settings->Anonymous Access and Select Lists and Libraries

8. Then go to Pages Document Library and click Settings->Document Library Settings. Select Permissions for this document library. Then click Settings->Anonymous Access. Check View Items and Click OK

Then the documents from Pages Document Library will be available Anonymously

9. Replace the Login Url of Authentication Section of Extended Site with loginUrl="/pages/login.aspx"

    Hi Fazlul, Thanks for the step by step, very interesting. However, i have a question, how do you create the aspx pages for login, change password, register and reset password for a Document Library? I tried but they are only pages and not a page where you can add a web part. can you please explain.

    Thanks

    You may create a very basic aspx page with the web parts which gets installed as a part CKS. Then save those pages to a document library or under pages. Then apply annonymous access to that Document Library.

SAP RFC Integration through BizTalk

It has been a long while since I published some technical write-ups into my blog. Today, I will try to elaborate on Integration mechanism with SAP though BizTalk middleware. As you are aware, SAP is a self-contained and modular system. So, communicating with SAP is a complex process. You have to have basic understanding of SAP Modules and Data Query/Retrieval process. But, communicating to SAP through RFC function calls has made it even easier. You can communicate with SAP RFCs in three different ways: 1.     Access SAP RFCs using WCF-SAP Adapter and SAP system credentials 2.     Access SAF RFCs through exposed RFCs as ABAP web services 3.     Access SAF RFCs through SAP Process Orchestrator, which is basically the SAP integration middleware Today, I will concentrate on No. 2, which is to communicate with SAP through RFC Web Services via ABAP web services. To do that, you need to expose SAP RFCs as consumable web services. Please follow THIS to expose RFCs as ...
