We currently have a user store complete with login/password and roles. We are looking at adopting sharepoint, but want to have a single log in for our users with our current login page.
I've looked at the Forms Based Authenication, but currently can't see how I by pass the sharepoint log in if our user is already logged into our site.
Claims based seems like what we want, as I understand it we should be able to have our users login to our site, and create a claim that gets passed to sharepoint and let sharepoint know who the user is and let the user in. However, I'm lost on how
does the roles from our current set up follow the user to sharepoint?
I've found many simple examples of how to create a claims provider, membership provider and role provider, but nothing that takes me from creating a new project in VS, creating and configuring a sharepoint site, and deploying my new project.
Anyone able to point me to a site that will walk me through setting up sharepoint, and creating the custom code I need to create to authorize the user from our current login and process the roles for the user from our datastore?
Thanks
Wayne
