Metalogix Replicator 7.4 - Using Replicator with Claims-based Authentication

Using Replicator with Claims-based Authentication

Summary

This article describes the steps you must perform to configure Metalogix Replicator with SharePoint 2010 Web Applications using Claims-based Authentication.

Configuring Claims-Based NTLM Windows Authentication Web Applications

Web applications using only claims-based NTLM Windows authentication can be configured for replication using the steps described in the Metalogix Replicator documentation. When creating Replication Connections to these web applications, you must specify a local, non-domain, account that is a member of the local 'Administrators' or 'Metalogix Admins' group.

If you cannot use a local account and must be able to specify a domain account, then contact Metalogix Support for guidance, referencing TFS #11816.

Note that the account you specify must have read and write access to the Replicator Data Folders on the Target Web Application.

For more information on creating a Replication Connection, see the Metalogix Replicator Reference Guide.

Configuring Forms-Based or Mixed Mode Authentication Web Applications

For claims-based authentication, Metalogix Replicator requires a web application or web application extension configured using only NTLM Windows authentication. If you have a web application using forms-based authentication or a combination of claims-based authentication types, then you must perform the following tasks to extend the web application for Replicator:

1.Extend the web application.

2.Select an account for replication.

3.Configure Replicator Data Folders.

4.Configure the extension site.
