Hi

Our MCMS 2002 site is running under forms authentication on Windows 2003.
Our Sharepoint 2003 server is running on a separate machine. We want to use
the Sharepoint web pats to display posting awaiting approval, etc.

Because we are using Forms Authentication on CMS the Web Parts are throwing
up the login screen for the CMS site. Is there a way to get around the login
prompt and have users of Sharepoint authenticate automatically against the
MCMS site?

I think having a separate MCMS site that uses Windows Authentication and
which shares the same database as the Forms Based Auth site would work, but
I'd like to avoid having the two MCMS servers

Thanks in advance

Hi William,

connector for sharepoint technologies is not supported with forms
authentication.
You need to reconfigure your site to use windows authentication:
