FBA User in FBA role is not taking permission from SharePoint Group

Question

I've configured FBA with Sharepoint 2013 on my development machine (one server). I'm able to create FBA Roles and FBA users and i can connect using FBA users.

The problem is when it comes to permission.

I'm adding the FBA Roles to SharePoint Group but the permission is not being granted to the User inside the FBA Role.

I've reviewed the configuration several time, and checked the below:

• web.config of the web application
• web.config of central admin and STS
• Checked the security on the FBA database and giving the application pool account the necessary security on the database.
• The web application configuration (enabling FBA..)

What i'm missing? Why users are not taking the Roles permission?

Answer 1

I had the exact same issue. This was because the Users and Groups were'nt in the same OU. I was able to resolve this by adding userContainer="xxxxxx" in the role Provider
