Comments on: “No exact match found” when using People Picker in MOSS with Forms Authentication http://blog.coryfoy.com/2007/03/no-exact-match-found-when-using-people-picker-in-moss-with-forms-authentication/ It's all about delivering Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:42:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Patrick Markiewicz http://blog.coryfoy.com/2007/03/no-exact-match-found-when-using-people-picker-in-moss-with-forms-authentication/comment-page-1/#comment-1132 Patrick Markiewicz Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:18:29 +0000 http://blog.cornetdesign.com/?p=162#comment-1132 Thank you so much for this tip. For others reading this blog, the more detailed instructions would be to ensure that your SQL Server configuration matches your SharePoint authentication strategy for the Web Application Pool Identity or the Primary Site Administrator of the Central Administration Site. Basically I added my SharePoint Admin to the SQL Server Users for the aspnet membership database, and then I was able to find my users. Thank you so much for this tip.

I have this problem of people picker. this is the prob in brief:<br /><br />we initially had single server deployment with 8 web app on WSS 3.0.<br />due to load, we now moved them to a new farm with 3 servers with following configuration:<br />1. all having wss 3.0 SP1<br />2. all patched with search server express 2008<br />3. search and query bieng served by server3<br /><br />also not worthy here is that due to budget constraint and stuff, we dint had load balancing so we are doing context switchin with<br />4 app on server1 and 4 app on server2..<br />each of this app is turned off in IIS in other server and each app has own IP and DNS.<br />so the NIC of each server has 4 IPs<br /><br />backup restore happened like a charm. the expected context swithcing happens like a charm. but now people picker goes in infinite "query bieng processed" and never fetches anything<br /><br />this problem has become a red flag as this the 4th day and i could find nothing that worked. I am greatly impressed by your posts. I have this problem of people picker. this is the prob in brief:

we initially had single server deployment with 8 web app on WSS 3.0.
due to load, we now moved them to a new farm with 3 servers with following configuration:
1. all having wss 3.0 SP1
2. all patched with search server express 2008
3. search and query bieng served by server3

also not worthy here is that due to budget constraint and stuff, we dint had load balancing so we are doing context switchin with
4 app on server1 and 4 app on server2..
each of this app is turned off in IIS in other server and each app has own IP and DNS.
so the NIC of each server has 4 IPs

backup restore happened like a charm. the expected context swithcing happens like a charm. but now people picker goes in infinite “query bieng processed” and never fetches anything

this problem has become a red flag as this the 4th day and i could find nothing that worked.

I should read better. In the last sentence you tell me to check if the user running the administration page actually has access to the membership database. Hey Presto!<br /><br />That did the trick. Thank you very much. Ouch. I should read better. In the last sentence you tell me to check if the user running the administration page actually has access to the membership database. Hey Presto!

That did the trick. Thank you very much.

Hey Guys,

I have the same problem, I’ve already tried to do everything (now for 3 days …) I’m hopeless, hopefully someone can help me?

I’ve checked the Application Pool, grant al the rights to the user I’m accessing the db …

The web.config files are configured right, everything is OK, only if I try to add users to the FBA-website in Sharepoint I can’t find them.

However, we can't seem to get rid of the problem. The Central Admin site seems to be running under the local machine's NETWORK SERVICE account (at least that's what the corresponding w3 process shows in Task Manager), but adding that to the members full control role in our auth db doesn't change anything.
