Hi, I have a smilar requirement for our website. We are using SharePoint 2010 for a client and are building an application which supports Windows(for internal users) & Forms(for external users) using Claims Authentication. Once configured, when we access the site a default screen comes up which asks the user to select between the type of authentication needed. Is there anyway we can bypass this screen. What we require is one URL to the site, and if internal users try to access they have to be prompted with a windows authentication dialog box, and if external users try to login they have to be prompted with the sign in screen provided by Form's Authentication. Is there a way to acheive this in Sharepoint 2010, without having to extend the web application as it was in MOSS 2007. This is a show stopper for us currently, and hence would ask the members in this forum to help us with a solution. Thanks & Regards, Ganti Rajesh Chandra.Raj

Hey Clayton, I have checked and there are only 'Pre-2010' forums available. Could you suggest a forum where i can post this question.Raj
