Verify if Zone is Associated with Agent for SharePoint

Before the SharePoint Administrator configures alternate access mapping, the Administrator must identify the zone which is associated with the Agent for SharePoint. In the ForwardInc scenario, the Default zone uses Windows Authentication (NTLM). The extended internet zone is configured for Claims-based Authentication with the Agent for SharePoint. The web application that Adam must verify is http://sp2010.internet.forwardinc.example.com.

Follow these steps

1. Click Start, Programs, Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products, SharePoint 2010 Central Administration.

   The Central Administration home page appears.

2. Click Application Management.

   The Application Management page appears.

3. Under Web Applications, click Manage web applications.

   The Web Applications page appears.

4. Click the web application http://sp2010.internet.forwardinc.example.com.

   The web application is selected.

5. On the Web Applications ribbon, Click Authentication Providers .

   The Authentication Providers dialog displays the Zone and the Membership Provider Name associated with the web application (http://sp2010.internet.forwardinc.example.com). In the ForwardInc scenario, two zones are displayed Default and Internet. The Internet displays Claims-based authentication.

This procedure verifies that the SharePoint Administrator must configure alternate access mapping for the internet zone.
