SharePoint 2013 supports a variety of authentication methods and authentication providers for the following authentication types: Forms-based authentication The authentication works at the web application level. SharePoint platform itself does not supply the actual code to authenticate users.
SharePoint now has the current user’s claims in memory (in the SPUser object) and SharePoint knows that it can trust them. In case of forms based authentication the users and roles will be stored in the sql server database. The web site will use FBA provider to authenticate the users through database.
What kind of authentication does SharePoint 2013 use?
SharePoint 2013 is configured to perform claims-based authentication and connect to a trusted identity provider. SharePoint will pass the user’s credentials to the trusted identity provider and request authentication and a token. The secure token server is Active Directory Federation Services and our data source is Active Directory.
How does SharePoint Foundation use fedauth for authentication?
In the second part of the authentication process, SharePoint Foundation will convert the Windows security token into a FedAuth token by using a local service known as the Security Token Service (STS).
Forms-based authentication provides custom identity management in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 by implementing a membership provider, which defines interfaces for identifying and authenticating individual users, and a role manager, which defines interfaces for grouping individual users into logical groups or roles.
The user requests a SharePoint 2010 resource. User authentication (NTLM challenge/Kerberos negotiation) occurs. The claims-based token request is sent to the SharePoint 2010 STS. SharePoint STS gets the user’s security groups from the Windows token and adds them as user claims in the token.
The sample Visual Studio 2010 project is a SharePoint project named WingtipClaimProviders. This project contains a claims augmentation provider named AudienceClaimProvider, which is built on top of the Audience feature that is supplied by the User Profile web service in SharePoint Server 2010.
Who are trusted login providers ( SAML ) for SharePoint?
When users log on to the SharePoint site, they are first redirected to the logon page of the custom STS. They are redirected back to SharePoint after the authentication. A trusted login provider is an external (that is, external to SharePoint) STS that SharePoint trusts. For definitions of claims terms, see Claims-Based Identity Term Definitions.
