I’ve been accepted to speak at SharePoint Saturday Baltimore on 25 July 2009. I’ll be giving a talk on the basics of authentication in the context of SharePoint Services platform, with the title of the topic aptly, “Why can’t I access the portal? SharePoint Authentication 101”.
More often than not recently at least I’ve found that it tends to be the surrounding infrastructure that is the true culprit causing my end users to not be able to authenticate. In this talk I’ll be going into the basics of good ole authentication, different authentication methods and some basic troubleshooting tactics.
