Is Form Based Authentication possible in trial version of SharePoint online - sharepoint

I think, Microsoft uses claim based authentication for trial version of SharePoint online by default but it might be possible to use Form Based Authentication in Dedicated O365.
I need to test or write application to authenticate users for SharePoint online which may have claim based or form based authentication.
so Is there any way to create SharePoint online site that uses form based authentication? Or Is there any SharePoint online test site for this?
I have one more question:
In SharePoint online, I have invited one external(hotmail) user.
I wanted to know details steps on how the external user is authenticated?
Thanks

How do I check user access for given SharePoint site using power automate

I have a requirement to write a Flow using power automate.
The requirement is to check if a user has access to given SharePoint site. Here SharePoint site address will be given as input.
I'm wondering how to achieve this using REST API in power automate.
With REST API, you cannot check user permission directly, alternate is to use effectiveBasePermissions for different masks. Blog here.
And for Power Automate, I am not sure if you can carry further steps mentioned in the blog.
Similar thread: How to get user's permission on SharePoint site with REST API?
The workaround I can think of will be checking if the user is in a SharePoint group. You can get all users in a SharePoint group via REST API, and check if the user is inside of it.

How to create a new user on Dynamics CRM Online through calling APIs

I want to design an application to sync user information between local system and CRM online. I found we can't create user in CRM online through APIs directly as CRM on-premise. System said we only can add user through office 365 admin portal. But I have no idea about how to use office 365 APIs to create CRM online user. Did you guys encounter the situation before? Please help me, thanks!
Ok, let me answer my question. Right now if we want to operate Dynamics CRM Online User or License information, we need to operate Active Directory Graph Service associated with CRM Online. This Service is a web api based service. We can get the example code on "http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/7e947621-ef93-4de7-93d3-d796c43ba34f", and current there is one helper library can be used you guys can download it on http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/Windows-Azure-AD-Graph-API-a8c72e18.

Retrieve Office 365 directory information from SharePoint online

I was wondering if is it possible to retrieve Office 365 directory information (i.e. security group membership) from SharePoint online programmatically (for example through a workflow custom action)?
By the way, I am not looking for retrieving Sharepoint group membership information.
I know the custom development is pretty limited with SharePoint online since the code has to run as a sandbox solution. Is there any web service or any another solution available?
I have been looking for information about this matter but I could not find anything so I guess there is no way to do this.
In our case there is an active directory synchronized with office 365. So we will use a powershell script to read data from AD and update a sharepoint list every day.
Then we will be able to use this data from custom code (like a workflow custom action).

How to get users to login twice in SharePoint 2010?

I have somewhat of an odd question (for me, at least).
We have some private information a department would like to place on our SharePoint farm. The problem is, this is very sensitive information, and law demands that we have a 'two-stage' login process to secure the data.
Currently, it is housed using a system that:
A) you have to login to our network (windows logon screen)
B) you have to login to the application.
Our SharePoint farm has integrated authentication enabled. Meaning, once you login to your computer in the morning, you never have to login to sharepoint as it already knows your credentials.
This is a problem for us. Can we enable some sort of custom Sharepoint login?
Will this require a new web app for the site? A new site collection only perhaps?
Thanks,

What you are looking for is called forms based authentication. Sharepoint 2010 uses claims based authentication and one of the providers you can configure is forms based. Meaning they provide a user name and password.
Here is a tutorial with the steps to do, it is a relatively straight forward process. just follow all the steps.

If you move you site out of Intranet zone, then IE will automatically ask for credential everytime.

Sharepoint FBA Registeration

in SharePoint 2010 server environment and a site collection that use FBA Authentication , how do i allow anonymous users to register ?
any help on that ? any tutorial ? i have searched for awhile and cant find something useful.
Sharepoint does not come with any kind of registration pages. You have to build them yourself or use a third party tool.
The Sharepoint 2010 FBA Pack has registration pages you can use. Check it out:
