Has anyone tried to back up a SharePoint web application using forms based authentication

  • 0

Has anyone tried to back up a SharePoint web application using forms based authentication (FBA) to another SharePoint server?

We are facing some issues in backup\restore of FBA based sharepoint web applications:

  1. We have a server where we have created a web application based on FBA, it has an FBA database as well.
  2. We have backed up the FBA database to the new server.
  3. We tried to backup the web application and restore it to a new server.
  4. We changed the authentication settings and made web.config entries for FBA.
  5. When accessing the site, I was able to login to the site and see all the content. But when I use this function in the object model it always returns false no matter which user I logged in to:

SPContext.Current.Web.DoesUserHavePermissions(
    SPContext.Current.Web.RoleDefinitions["Read "].BasePermissions).ToString()

Has anyone faced issues like this before?

Has anyone tried to back up an FBA based Web Application?

We did the restore to a different farm that resides in a different domain – will this have any effect?
