title: How to install Form Based Authentication in SharePoint 2010
body: <p>I would like users to have the ability of signing in without being Windows users. This means, either using Form Based Authentication or a better option, which I'm now aware right now.</p>
  
  <p>Could anybody tell me how to install FBA in Share Point 2010, or recommend me a good article about it?</p>
  
  <p>I've read several articles about this, but almost all of them tell me to modify several web.config files, and I really don't like the idea of touching things without being sure of what I'm doing.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I'm not using Active Directory...just in case.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've followed <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/mahesm/archive/2010/04/07/configure-forms-based-authentication-fba-with-sharepoint-2010.aspx" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a>, but I still cannot sign in using FBA. Also, I've noticed I don't have any users on SQL-Auth database (it's explained in that tutorial). Is that normal, or automatic?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Brian</p>
