Claim based Authentication in SharePoint2010


Dudes,
         In SharePoint2010 a brand new authentication called "Claim based authentication " has been introduced using which we can provide both windows and form based authentication to a web application.By using this ,you can give individual authentication mode.
        When you create a sharepoint default web application(SharePoint-80), it willl be classic mode authentication(Windows)  itself.You can not extend it to form based authentication in sharepoint foundation2010.For that do one thing.Just delete Shatrepoint-80 web application and recreate the Sharepoint80 web application and don't forget to provide "Claim based authentication".Now you can easily extend the web application to form based web application.

thanks

Programmatically read the value from web.config file

Here is a situation where you need to keep a key value pair element in the web.config file and read them during the run time. I suggest, better keep key /value pair under <appSettings> element and read it programmatically . <appSettings>   <add key=" LicenseKey " value=" 987jKouterhsk " /> </appSettings> Assume , you have added a license key as above in the web.config file. You need the license key during run time. You can access the license key class named "ConfigurationManager". write a property  called getLicenseKey and return the corresponding license key. public string GetLicenseKey {    get{   return  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[" LicenseKey "]; } } Now the property GetLicenseKey will have the value 987jKouterhsk. Use this value as per your requirement. -Cheers Pradeepa Achar
