Hi,

Have deployed SharePoint Foundation 2013 Sp1, and now am trying to install MIM 2016 Service and Portal and get the following error:

"The FIM portal does not support being deployed on a SharePoint web application with claims-based authentication. Please make sure the SharePoint web application is configured with classic-mode authentication"

According to another Microsoft article: "claims-based authentication is the default (in SharePoint Foundation 2013) and preferred method of user authentication". So why is MIM not following Microsoft best practices?

It would be nice if the MIM documentation team would provide us with an answer in order to deploy and test their new product (or update MIM to work according to Microsoft best practices).

Unfortunately this article does not really say enough: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj863242.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Look forward to hearing some feedback from the team.

Regards,

SK

Then looked at this: https://mohitvash.wordpress.com/2013/08/13/create-classic-mode-web-application-in-sharepoint-2013/

After running the command, the warning pops up saying that "Windows Classic authenticationn is deprecated in this release and the behavior of this cmdlet is obsolete"

Wow, really?
