SharePoint 2013 Claim Based Authentication


SharePoint 2013 supports only Claim Based Authentication, though the preview version supports the Classic Windows authentication, it will be removed when the actual release roles out.

Authentication is the process by which the system validates the user and allows/denies access to the user.



In Classic windows authentication, the users are configured in the Windows server and their credentials are validated when the user logs into to Server.

In Claim based authentication an individual provider validates the credibility of the user and proved a security token, the security token can contain multiple claims each of which contains unique information about the user. Examples of claims are User Name, SSN etc.

The following claim based authentication methods are supported in SharePoint 2013

   Windows claims using Windows Identity Foundation
   Security Assertion Markup Language based claims
   Forms-based authentication based Claims
