I want to search/crawl a SharePoint 2010 site which has forms based authentication in my local server using FAST Search 2010 server
I have read only access account
Restrictions
I don’t have central administrator access on the host site (i.e. the site I want to crawl)
Approaches I have tried on my local FAST Search 2010 Server

  • Changing default administrator of content crawler
    Did not work as the user cannot be
    resolved
  • Tried to add the user in Active
    directory
  • Created a SSSA service and mapping it
    with the FAST Search Service
  • And Yep searched in Google for
    solutions

Can any one point me to the steps for configuring the server?

    I have just set up a Sharepoint environment with FAST using TMG and Forms based Auth.. What I had to do was create an Alternative Access Mapping for sharepoint using port 8080 (any port will work) and then point FAST to search the sites that way.. This bypasses TMG forms based Auth.. Let me know if that helps..
