Classic Authentication and Claim based authentication


What are the differences between Classic Mode Authentication and Claims based Authentication?


Classic Mode Authentication: This refers to the integrated windows authentication. We cannot configure the forms based authentication if your web application is using Classic Mode Authentication. We can convert a web application from Classic Mode Authentication to Claims Based Authentication.

However, this can only be done using PowerShell commands and it is an irreversible process.

Claims Based Authentication: SharePoint 2010 is built on Windows Identity Foundation. It enables authentication from windows as well as non-windows based systems. This also provides the capability to have multiple authentication in a single URL.
