Description

Specifies not to search Active Directory when the current port is using forms-based authentication.

For example, a Web application uses Windows authentication on port 80 and uses forms-based authentication on port 81. If a user accesses port 81 and attempts a search, results are returned when People Picker is used.

Syntax

stsadm -o setproperty

-propertyname peoplepicker-nowindowsaccountsfornonwindowsauthenticationmode

-propertyvalue {Yes | No}

**\[-url\]** *\<URL\>*

The syntax for the getproperty operation is:

stsadm -o getproperty

-propertyname peoplepicker-nowindowsaccountsfornonwindowsauthenticationmode

**\[-url\]** *\<URL\>*

Note

You can substitute -pn for -propertyname and -pv for -propertyvalue.

Values

The following table shows possible values.

Name Value

Gets or sets the name of the property.

propertyvalue

Yes: People Picker only searches from the membership provider.

No: People Picker searches both the membership provider and the Windows Active Directory.

Examples

Search membership providers using Windows authentication

Do not search Windows Active Directory when the current port is using forms-based authentication.

To search from a membership provider only, use the following syntax:

stsadm -o setproperty -url http://<server> -pn "peoplepicker-nowindowsaccountsfornonwindowsauthenticationmode" -pv yes

To search a membership provider and Windows Active Directory, use the following syntax:

stsadm -o setproperty -url http://<server> -pn "peoplepicker-nowindowsaccountsfornonwindowsauthenticationmode" -pv no

Note

If the value is set to Yes, the People Picker does not try to search or resolve a user against Active Directory if the current zone does not use Windows authentication.

To view the current setting for the nowindowsaccountsfornonwindowsauthenticationmode property, use the following syntax:
