My client has a FBA site, and want to add another authentication providers soone is against ADAM and the other agaist SQL. Both are on a same web applicatin.Has anyone done this before, is this possible?
I'm sure it's been done. I would imagine that you just need to add theconnection strings and membership and role providers to the appropriate webconfigs. You will likely have to extend the web application again for the newAuthentication scheme also.
if I extend again, then I have to use a different URL. This is an issue to userssince they have to remember two sites. Also the client intention is to implementsome failover, this is, if SQL fails, it can pick up from ADAM.any more suggestions?
To use the same URL with two different authentication systems you will need towrite a single custom authentication provider that can talk to both back endsystems.
You can only have one authentication provider per ZONE. To add another FBAprovider you will need to either extend the web application to another zone orwrite a custom authentication provider that works with both ADAM and SQL.
I will look how I can utilize LDAPmembership and ASP membership providers in custom code, if anyone has done thisbefore, I would appreciate any help.
Take a look at the following MSDN article.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479048.aspx
