The Test Lab Guide: Demonstrate Forms-based Authentication with SharePoint Server 2013 is now available. This guide shows you how to configure forms-based authentication for user access to the default team site of the SharePoint 2013 three-tier farm. There are step-by-step instructions for the following:

  • Step 1: Setting up the SharePoint Server 2013 three-tier farm test lab.
  • Step 2: Configuring forms-based authentication by using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) membership provider.
  • Step 3: Demonstrating forms-based authentication from CLIENT1.

This guide is the test lab version of the procedures described in Configure forms-based authentication for a claims-based web application in the TechNet library.
