Installing the IEE Forms Based Authentication Solution

patrikluca.blogspot.com — The CKS:Internet/Extranet Edition has released a pre-beta release of a Forms Based Authentication Solution. This set of great features adds some missing out-of-the box functionality in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The solution can be downloaded at Codeplex. The functionality I like the most is: Ability for external users who authenticate themselves through forms based authentication to change their password through a web part. The web part is highly customizable in terms of error messages and labels. Ability for the SharePoint administrator to add external users who will authenticate through forms based authentication within the site settings of your site collection. There is no need to set up an extra website for user management, nor to do the administration of users directly in a database. read more...
