Forms authentication state IIS and powershell - iis

I am pretty new to scripting and I have a task to create a powershell script that will check and print out state of all authentication types of IIS 7.0 and 7.5 Virtual Directories.
As you probably know there are 6 types of authentication (basic, windows, digest, forms, asp.net impersonation, anonymous).
For basic, windows, digest and anonymous I was using this command:
Get-WebConfigurationProperty -filter
/system.web/security/authentication -name enabled "IIS:\Sites\My
Site\"
But I cannot find command that can check state for Forms Authentication. Can you please help me on this?
e.g If on IIS Configuration Manager, Forms authentication is enabled, I want to get value in powershell that it is enabled.
Thanks a lot.

You can read the mode attribute's value in the authentication configuration element:
(Get-WebConfiguration system.web/authentication 'IIS:\sites\Default Web Site').Mode
It will be forms if Forms Authentication is enabled.

If you are trying to get the Forms authentication for the main panel of IIS , you can use the below script...
Get-WebConfiguration system.web/authentication -PSPath "MACHINE/WEBROOT" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty mode
If you are looking for a particular Site,include the path of the site/application too

How to Create Custom.aspx for Windows Authentication for Sharepoint2019

I am Using Sharepoint2019 On-Premise
I am looking to use separate .aspx page for authenticate users for Sharepoint2019,
I tried the Form-Based Authentication(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/sharepoint-server-2010/ee806890(v=office.14)) and it works for authentication but the user profiles are not getting synced from our current Active Directory, so i would like the go back to the windows authentication but instead of pop-up should i would like the .aspx
I want to Use this page for Windows Authentication :-
I Do Not Want This SIgn in pop-up
can any one please guide me to accomplish this task.
One suggestion to look at would be to use AD FS and Web Application Proxy. This solution would require you to configure Kerberos Constrained Delegation for the SharePoint Web Application. In addition, the WAP server(s) need to be joined to Active Directory. Finally, on AD FS you would set up a non-claims aware relying party.
DNS for your Web Application would be pointed at the WAP server (or load balancer routing to WAP) and users would log in there using an FBA experience but still using Windows auth on the back end.
You need an external system that can pass non-Windows auth and translate it to Windows auth. AD FS + WAP is one example of doing so. Because the back end is still Windows auth, other services that leverage Windows auth will continue to work without any changes to your farm.
See here :- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/153678/how-to-use-custom-login-page-aspx-as-link-fba-for.html
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/create-a-non-claims-aware-relying-party-trust on how to create a non-claims aware relying party.
For TLS setup, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/dn383662(v=ws.11).
it is quite tricky, as Microsoft Designed in that for the windows authentication, but any how if you can use the Form Base Authentication.
Here is the Link where Microsoft posted how to implement the Form Based Authentication.

SSO with Classic Asp

I am in the process of trying to implement Single Sign On for our classic asp parts of our site that run on a separate server. I have already implemented the php SSO on our other server using simpleSAMLphp. I am attempting to use shibboleth right now for the classic asp / IIS side of things. I have made it as far as getting to the login page of our Identity Provider, but once I authenticate I get stuck at /SAML2/POST and a webpage saying that the ip address of my server cannot be found. I have tried implementing fixes I found in forums but still have not made any progress. I am wondering if there is another tool that I could try to implement SSO with classic asp with? I am open to any suggestions at this point.
Shibboleth supports IIS using "native module" package (iis7_shib.dll).
Check this https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SP3/IIS for further information.

WSO2 and sharepoint SSO setup

The case: A client asked for SSO to access their internal SharePoint applications externally (They will add Exchange later on), they do not care if the device is on the domain and they want the experience to be seamless, so anyone with a valid user name and password regardless of whatever device they are using can access the apps.
I have followed the tutorial on WSO2 website to use WSO2 Identity Server 5.3 (passive STS) as an identity provider for SharePoint 2016, and after some tinkering it worked.
https://wso2.com/library/tutorials/2015/05/tutorial-sso-for-microsoft-sharepoint-web-applications-with-wso2-identity-server/
Then I added another application in sharepoint, added it as a second service provider in WSO2 Identity serverand, added the second realm to the sharepoint trusted provider.
Now the 2 applications only work if I start a new session in my browser or clear cookies, after looking into it, when I open the second application in a different tab it is taking the URI of the first application I opened rather than the its own, and it fails as the realm setup in the second service provider does not match the realm for the application in SharePoint.
So here are my questions:
1- Am I doing the SSO using WSO2 incorrectly (Thus the tutorial title is misleading) , and is the passive STS federation , simply that, a federation and not the way to do the SSO in WSO2 Identity Server? If not, could you please tell me what exactly I need to do to fix my issue?
2- If the above is the wrong approach is using SAML Web SSO configuration the right answer? If so, what is the realm that I should use for the sharepoint applications, and is passive STS needed at all in this case?

IIS: Is it possible to completely ditch username + password and use certificates to authenticate?

I want to setup a simple IIS site which will basically be the standard directory browsing in IIS (no .Net code).
Instead of using Windows Authentication, I would like to use a certificate to handle the authentication. My idea is any client system that has the public cert installed can browse this iis site, and others not.
Is this type of thing possible?
Yes, see the following article for how to do this with IIS 7:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732996(WS.10).aspx

How do I setup IIS 6 with anonymous access for local asp.net webforms development?

When I setup IIS6 to develop projects locally I have to enable "Integrated Windows Authentication" under directory security in order for my CSS & Images to show up. (Note: I have double checked that network service has rights to all directories in my web application)
However this often causes my browser to prompt me for windows login username and password when I am running the application.
Is there anyway to get around entering a windows login password all the time ?
(I am using windows xp pro 64bit)
Maybe it is some problem with the kerberos authentication to your web site. Just disable it on your site. from the c:\Inetpub\AdminScripts directory run this command.
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/WebSite/root/NTAuthenticationProviders "NTLM"
Or change the authentication to anonymous. And make sure that the user in the directory security tab (IUSR_computername) has access to said directories. It is not the application pool user who access files and other resources.
Well it certainly is not as it's supposed to be!
You say you've double checked that Network Service has access to the directories. But with anonymous access, the account that needs access is the IUSR_[machinename] account. The account is specified under the Directory Security tab.
If all else fails, for local development you might as well grant everyone access to the directories.
