Forms Authentication – Esempi e Guide (Inglese)
Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides a flexible and extensible authentication system, which supports authentication for identity management systems that are based or are not based on the Microsoft Windows operating system. By integrating with ASP .NET pluggable authentication, Office SharePoint Server 2007 supports a variety of forms-based authentication schemes. Authentication support in Office SharePoint Server 2007 enables a variety of authentication scenarios, including:
- Using standard Windows authentication methods.
- Using a simple database of user names and passwords.
- Connecting directly to an organization's identity management system.
- Using two or more methods of authentication for accessing partner applications (for example, connecting to your partner company's identity management system for authenticating partner employees while using Windows authentication methods to authenticate your internal employees).
- Participating in federated identity management systems.
The following table lists the supported authentication methods:
| Authentication method | Description | Examples |
| Windows | The standard IIS Windows authentication methods are supported. | · Anonymous · Basic · Digest · Certificates · Kerberos (Integrated Windows) · NTLM (Integrated Windows) |
| ASP.NET forms | Office SharePoint Server 2007 adds support for identity management systems that are not based on Windows by integrating with the ASP.NET forms authentication system.
