Managing links in dual auth environment

Asked By: Arielle Wolf Date: Dec 21, 2008 Category: Sharepoint Views: 237

We have implemented FBA for our non-AD/external users. They log in
at one URL (http://guest.url.com) and internal users at another URL
(http://url.com). Everything works just fine except when an internal user sends
a link to a document library file to an external user (or vice versa) because
those links will "incorrect" for the other party. Short of training users to
manually modifying the links (sure to be a nightmare), is there any way to
address this issue?

Is there some other way to implement dual auth without having different
URL's?

Answer #2 Answered By: Josephine Buchanan Answered On: Dec 21, 2008

The only way to implement dual authentication on a single URL would be to create
a custom Authentication provider that checked both authentication sources in its
validate method. This would then be implemented as a single Forms Based
authentication system. There is no way to configure a Web Application to make
use of two authentication mechanisms.
