Classic Mode vs Claims Based Authentication in SharePoint 2010
Classic Mode vs Claims Based Authentication in SharePoint 2010
Classic Mode:
- This is nothing but Windows Authentication.
- If any web application is created with Classic Mode Authentication then it cannot applicable to configure forms based authentication.
- We can convert from classic mode to Claims based using PowerShell
- In SharePoint 2010 for a web application we can enable both windows AND forms authentication.
- If you want to convert from Claims based to Classic Mode then it is not possible
- Normally We use Claims based authentication basically its more secure than classic mode
see the below table to know difference between windows vs form based authentication
Windows Authentication refers to authenticating against Windows user accounts on the box that the application is running on. The credentials are matched with the Windows domain through IIS.
Forms authentication is a stand alone method of authenticating in .NET forms that you can hook up to some other system, such as a database.
Method category | Authentication methods |
---|---|
Windows authentication | NTLM Kerberos Anonymous Basic Digest |
Forms-based authentication | Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Microsoft SQL Server database or other database Custom or third-party membership and role providers |
SAML token-based authentication | Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 Third-party identity provider Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) |
