Thanks , it is nice article but have the following limitation in MOSS 2007.

The WebService UI for third party products, i.e. client applications such as MS Word, still insists on using Windows Auth for it’s “Client Integration”. As far as I can tell, Office 12 doesn’t provide an override for that. Rightfully so, Client Integration should be disabled for Forms Auth. Now, you *could* throw in custom credentials using WCF or WSE 3.0, but MS Word won’t understand them. You could however integrate your own custom applications into sharepoint using those.

I added the connectionstrings,Role Provider and MemebershipProvide to my Sharepoint Central Admin web.config but as soon as i do that i can’t login in to some pages in Sharepoint Central Admin anymore i get ACCESS DENIED from the browser. My site looks like this http://myserver:28840/sites/Extranet this extranet wasn’t created using the extended options i only created a nor mal collaboration site and the changed it for forms Auth.
Any ideas why i’ m getting this error.
Thanks

Hi all ,

I think your entry have some problem :
1. if you don’t add , ,, to center Admin web.connfig
2. default provider in membership Roles change to AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider

when add to center admin web.config . We go to center admin add user to premium Administrator or second administrator . after login to your site with my account .

Dzung, you should change the site collection administrator to the user you added using the ASP .net Web Site Admin Tool and use this user to login to your FBA site.
