Re: MOSS My Sites for non-AD users

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I've successfully create a custom LDAP membership provider for use on
our main web application. LDAP was used as a custom source for
importing profiles. By mapping uid from ldap to username in both the
custom provider and the profile import, sharepoint can associate users
to their profiles. In doing so our main site uses the displayname from
the profile even thou the person authenticated from the custom
provider.

From these ldap account I am able to create mysites. However because
mysites are hosted by a Share Services Provider it too needs to use
your custom membership provider.

At the current time I use AD to authenticate users access to the LDAP
MySites. Thing is, is you click MySite, you then have an AD MySite
created.

Hi

Did you check the user profiles. You might have to correctly import the
user profiles.

hi,
but in case of local computer accounts, "My Site" gets created, but the user
display name remains "servername\account name". How do you change this for
local computer accounts to display full name?

Thanks

Mr. Bill:
Thanks for your reply.
I could get My Sites for domain users and local computer accounts
without any problems.

So, As I understand it: If the portal site users should have profiles,
and My Sites, then we can only use domain accounts.

Thanks,

Not sure what you tried, but as long as the user has an account in AD, it
should work. I don't know if it will work using another LDAP provider and
I'm nearly entirely sure it won't work for forms authentication.

Is MOSS built to have User Profiles and My Sites capability for
non-domain users, meaning users accessing the site using LDAP or SQL
based forms authentication?

MS guys: please confirm? If Yes: please provide configuration needed.

I tried many configurations to get it to work but no use. Please help.
Thanks in advance..
