SharePoint 2010 Forms Authentication Migration (For Developers)

For IT Pros, it is simple to setup the Forms Auth in SharePoint 2010.  However, when a system is migrated to 2010 that uses the Membership Provider generic factory classes extensively…all hell breaks loose!  The class definition for the Membership provider and MembershipUser is here.  After looking at that, consider a piece of code such as:

MembershipUser.ResetPassword("oldpassword", "newpassword");

The default membership provider set in SharePoint 2010 is  "Microsoft.SharePoint.Claims.SPClaimsAuthMembershipProvider".  The main job of this provider is to play an aggregation patten.  Find all username in all available providers and allow you to select them.  It also does some mapping of those users from the internal formats to a human readable format in the SharePoint web sites.  This particular membership provider as advanced as it is…DOES NOT IMPLEMENT ALL THE METHODS OF THE MEMBERSHIP PROVIDER MODELS!

This means if you used the membership methods extensively in your code (forms and web parts) in 2007, it is NOT going to work in 2010 when you migrate!  You will get several different errors around method not implementing and good luck with getting everything to work.  You will need to update your code to specifically call and instanate an instance of the membership providers that have been loaded in the process.  Such as:

MembershipProvider prov = Membership.Providers["AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"]

From there, you would then make the appropriate calls in your forms and web parts using the defined provider variable.

Good luck with the code migration!  And reference my other blog about other forms based auth migration issues here!

Installing SharePoint 2010 Error

Recently I was doing yet another install of SharePoint 2010 and the pre-requisite installer would keep failing on the IIS/Application server setup.  It simple wouldn't run.  I looked at the log file and there was nothing apparent in the log file that would tell me what was happeing.  Because I have done the install many times, I realized the only piece that wasn't doing anything was the IIS setup.  Looking at the command that the prereq installer would execute:

servermanader.cmd -inputpath <path to config>

I decided to run this manually and see what was up.  It was here where you do get an error:

Error: A configuration started by SP2010-WFE1Administrator is currently in progress.  Before you can start a configuratio, SP2010-WFE1Administrator must log in to complete the current configureation or the configuration in progress must be canceled.

Would have been nice if the SharePoint installer would have bubbled up the exception to the UI.

SharePoint 2010 – The license state for the current server doesn’t match the farm’s license state.

What the hell is this all about?  I have done the install a million times and this was the first time I found this error.  Seems Office Web Apps destroys everything…there are a couple of different google results around this, but no resolution as of yet (6/11/2010)!

The option of removing OWA from the first server IS NOT AN OPTION (it will break a ton of things).  That means I am stuck with a one server farm until Microsoft comes up with a solution for this. Can't believe this wasn't tested…

UPDATE:  You must install the latest cumulative updates and this error will be resolved.

Installing PowerPivot and Server 2008 R2 with SharePoint

There's a trick to getting this to work.  You can't use ANY 32bit applications!  You MUST install all 64bit applications.  this includes:

  • Office 2010 – you must use the ISO version and install from the x64 directory (do not auto install, it will do the 32bit version)
  • SharePoint Designer 2010 
  • Visio 2010
  • PowerPivot x64

SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflow UI

Yuk.  It has come a long way, but still has a long way to go.  If users start a workflow and realize they have put a step in the wrong place, you can't drag and drop it anywhere.  You can't cut and paste the condition or actions and you bascially have to start all over again (as an end user).  If you aren't an end user, you can actually open up the XOML file and move the items around, but its not a step you should have to do!
