I haven't checked the loggs, but the manager doesn't get any mail about the new user.

The manager has tested the Membership Request, but found that he will miss information about the user:

He would also like to have address, phone number and company name (optional) for the user.

He will solve this by telling new users at the home page (normal webb, not SharePoint) to send him an e-mail with all details and he will enter the users manually him self.

The user get a 'Pending approval' email.

The user is in the user list (as Active = No)

I will try to find anything in the log file.

Did you check that 'Review Membership Requests' is checked on the FBA Site Configuration page? If it is, does the user get a 'Pending approval' email? If there's no pending approval email, then likely there's still an issue sending emails. Either way, check the SharePoint log file, and there should be an error listed in it which will hopefully explain what is happening.

As for 20 users per page, it's hard coded. You would have to manually modify UsersDisp.aspx. I've raised an issue here:

Currently it is hard coded to 20 users.

Mail to external users is working now, but "Site Membership Review List" is always empty.

The user list displays 20 users per page. Is it possible to change that?

That's essentially what you have to do. Modify the code. Rebuild. Repackage.

How do I modify the "code behind" pages? Do I modify them and then redeploy the package? Or, is there an easier way?

You were right about external email.

I have in another post reported problems with accented letters and changed the collation for the FBA database at the SQL.
It was not a good to do that, because I got the following error when I tried to save the settings for a user:

"Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS" in the equal to operation. "
The error was repeated 5 times in the same message.

I will change back to the original setting (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS).

If you're not getting email, check the SharePoint logs - there should be an error message from the FBA Pack with details of the problems it encountered sending the email.

Also - make sure it didn't end up in your junk mail. As well, if your mail test was a local email account, and your user creation test was an external email account, it could be that relaying for your smtp server hasn't been configured.

I was able to setup the anonymous site correctly with the "Membership Request".

I'm able to fill in a new user that are created in the database, but the administrator and the user never gets any mail.

The SharePoint server is able to send mail (I tested this by setting up an alert on a page, and I got a message about the created alert).

"Site Membership Review List" is always empty.

The new user show up in the list "Manage Forms Based Authentication Users" (Active=No).

I can edit the user and change status to Active and select a group/role.

I can reset the password, but the user does not get any mail.

I can then login with the user name and password to the FBA site.

What email address are you entering? The email address needs to at least include an @ symbol. Otherwise, make sure that you're running the latest version of the FBA Pack, as earlier versions did have issues validating certain email addresses.

Since user management is generally done at the Site Collection level, you'll find the FBA Pack menu items (both user management and email templates) in Site Settings of each site collection. Note that you do need to be a site collection administrator in order to see the menu items. The feature also needs to be activated on the site collection, if it hasn't been already.

I inherited a SP 2010 installation with the FBA pack installed and it's a little broken from what I can tell. The administrative pages are not available in Central Admin and I have no idea how/where the email templates are stored to edit those.

Can anyone provide a little assistance on where the email stuff is located?

There's an issue with your membership configuration on your test server. Check the membership provider settings and db connection string in your web.config. Also make sure, if connecting to SQL Server via windows authentication, that the app pool identity has db owner permissions on your aspnetdb database.

I have setup a new web site at my test server and added a blank SharePoint site.
I setup to allow anonymous login to the site.
I added the FBA settings in the web.config file.
I deployed then SharePoint 2010 FBA Pack to the new site.
I added the webpart "Membership Request", but it didn't work.

I got this message on the page with the Membership Request

Membership Request
A Membership Provider has not been configured correctly. Check the web.config setttings for this web application.

You would do 1 of two things:
Create a standard SharePoint page in a library with anonymous access, and add the web part to it. If you want to use it on multiple site collections, you would create a page on each site collection that you need a registration page.

Build an Anonymous Application Page and add the web part to it. In this case, the same page will be available on all site collections in SharePoint. Some info on creating an anonymous application page is here:

New Post: Two FBA sites

ccoulson — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:50:30 GMT

I the site is on the same web application, then yes, they will share the same database. If you use a separate web application, you can choose to use seperate databases, a single database, or a single database with multiple "ApplicationName's" (This acts like having separate membership databases live within a single database).

Even if they share the same database, you can still assign different permissions to users on each separate site.

New Post: Accent characters in the user name

ccoulson — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:46:07 GMT

Since the database is receiving the wrong name, it's definitely as issue on the server or the browser.

For the most part it seems to work on my side - I can create and edit users. I did manage to reproduce it in a certain circumstance:
Add the User
Edit the User
Click 'Delete'
Click Cancel -> Get the error.

In this case it has to do with the username being urlencoded - It appears to not do it properly. Since it sounds like you get it in a lot more places, it may be a separate issue for you, but i'll raise an issue for this to fix the urlencoding in a future version. The issue is here:
