If I have an alternate authentication provider added as an extended Web Application how do I delete it? I had a web application set to us the default zone and active directory. Then asa test I extended the web app and set the external zone to use ADAM as an authentication provider. Now, I want to get rid of the ADAM authentication zone but there doesn't seem to be a straight forward way to do this.

I don't have a lot of experience with this, but I'm chipping in since no one has done so so far. I would take the approach of removing the target provider(s) from web.config and then updating the appropriate place in central admin to not use FBA for that web application.

I have also the same problem. How can i delete Extranet Authentication provider? Can you please explain more. Thanks.Ferdous

Assuming you want to delete the extended web appGo into Central Administration - Application ManagementClick Remove SharePoint from IIS websiteUnder Web Application, select the web application that has the Extended web appYou should see a drop down box that lists the first web application & the extended web application *The 1st web app will have (Default) if you haven't changed the zone on the first web app *The extended web app will have the Zone you made it when the web app is extendedSelect the radio button to Delete IIS websiteClick OKdo an iisreset /noforce on all WFE servers when doneScott

Yes. it's working fine. ThanksFerdous

Thanks for that -- I probably never would've looked under anything that said "Remove SharePoint..."Why isn't there a Retract...? Un-extend?Jeff (no, the other one0

If you are using SharePoint 2010, it is a little different. Go to Central Administration --> Application Management and click on "Configure alternate access mappings"

Worked like a charm!!! Cheers man!! VMS
