CKS Forms Based Authentication Pre-Beta Release!!!

After a few months of hard work we are finally making our first release.

If you want to download the solution and take it for a spin, go to the release page on codeplex:

http://www.codeplex.com/CKS/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=7675

The release page also covers off all the main features, with some basic instructions and descriptions, as well as some screenshots.

Here is a screenshot of one of the features I worked on:

ManageUsers

This release is mainly just the basics. However we have a bunch of exciting features and additions in the pipeline such as:

FBA configuration pages
A set of central admin pages that ease the configuration of FBA. This will mean people won't be having to dig around in web.configs anymore.

FBA User Import
This feature will allow a set of existing FBA users to be imported into SharePoint.

Rich Client capabilities
Normally the rich client interaction with programs such as MS word don't work, this feature will solve that problem.

Custom Master page designs
As part of the Internet/Extranet edition we will be providing a couple of snazzy master page designs.

MOSS functionality light up
We aren't too sure what this is going to consist of yet, but possibly something to do with MySites.

Any requests??

    can you add a login page with : password reminder by email, manageable session duration and password that can be registered.

    Part of the Master Page work will be to create a site definition with a login page. But theres nothing stopping you from adding the login and recover password webparts to a page with the current release. I wrote a new post with information on how to set session timeout with FBA (http://zac.provoke.co.nz/archive/2007/10/13/setting-forms-based-authentication-session-timeout.aspx)
