Forms Based Authentication

So what is FBA and what is Forms Based Authentication?  FBA is a way to provide your own data store to authenticate users against using a web form as the input method.  It is really just your own login method.  To authenticate you can use SQL Server, XML, Windows Live IDs and more.  This site has links to a number of these providers as well as links on how to set up FBA for SharePoint 2007.  In addition to the links for the providers, there are links for open source and third party tools that have the controls you would need to get started.  FBA will require you to modify config files, so good luck!

I had the need for anonymous users to automatically be logged in so that I could allow them rights to kick-off work-flows for some simple forms we use. This need started a wild search for a solution. In the end, I had to scrape it together my self. It's actually really simple to deploy! And I think, a must-have for Internet-facing sites link mine.
