How does one enable Mysites for FBA users on sharepoint 2010?
I've gone through the process for enabling claims authentication and my forms based users can login but I want to also grant them the ability to create mysites, from what I've seen online this was possible to do with a bit of extra configuration in 2007, but I have yet to find a resource on how to do it in 2010?
follow the following article

I got a good link on Authorization of lightswitch
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bethmassi/archive/2013/12/18/beginning-lightswitch-in-vs-2013-part-5-may-i-controlling-access-with-user-permissions.aspx
But I don't know how each use user is assigned to a role
How can we assign a user to a role.?
How each role can be assigned to different permissions?
Using lightswich 2013 with html client
You can assign the permissions to roles and the users to roles from within the Lightswitch Silverlight Desktopclient. You must be the administrator of the application.
From within the HTML client this is not possible out of the box.
Michael Washington, a Lightswitch guru, has a turnaround for this extending the Lightswitch application to an MVC asp. net application.
I have created a visual web part and placed it in my sharepoint site.
This web part accesses and displays data from an excel file on my network, an example directory is \\server1\files\file.xls
I can get this to work by applying read access to 'everyone' in the domain.
I want to lock this file down so only the sharepoint site can access this data, and everyone else unable to access it outside of the sharepoint site.
My question here is basically: what default user account on my domain does sharepoint use?
If i can find this out, i can apply read permissions to this account without having to apply it to all users.
Thanks

You should try to apply read permissions to the account that is used as application pool identity for your SharePoint web application. You can find this account in IIS Manager.
Say I have 10 users (name, email, phone). How do I add them to FBA so they can use sharepoint which is configured to FBA?
I mean do I need to go to SQL box and add each member. (I know from site permission you can add users but I am not if the users should be present in the sql member database before I do this).
I went to site collection> permission but didn't see anything that says "add external user" or add fba user.
SharePoint 2010; FBA
Is there a tool in microsoft .net directory? I can't download and install this https://sharepoint2010fba.codeplex.com/documentation? codeplex feature so that's not an option. Also, we have to set this users up front.
SharePoint does support forms-based authentication but FBA is not something you get out-of-the-box.
If your implementation of FBA does not provide a UI to manage the users:
add/modify/delete them directly in the Membership database
use the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool (you can run it by clicking ASP.NET Configuration from the Website menu in Visual Studio or without VS - Managing ASP.NET Membership and Roles without Visual Studio).
I want to create the sharepoint 2010 site on SahrePoint 2010 server. I want to make it available in intranet as well as internet. what exactly i need to do ? is i need to configure mix mode authentication ? how ?
Look at Alternate Access Mappings:
How Do I: Configure an Alternate Access Mapping in SharePoint 2010?
Server Name Mapping and Alternate Access Mapping (AAM)
Making a SharePoint 2010 site externally available
Regarding authentication, you can use Classic Mode Authentication for externally available sites, but all users will need an Active Directory account. Otherwise, you might want to use a web application with Claims Based Authentication that uses a mix of Windows Authentication and Forms Based Authentication.
Note that externally available sites that require authentication are technically extranet sites. An internet site usually means that anonymous access is allowed (at least in part). In the case of SharePoint internet sites, special licensing might be required.
How can i integrate Sharepoint authentication into my BPOS setup? i want users to login to Sharepoint using the same credentials they use to login to BPOS. This is to avoid having to use seperate FBA for Sharepoint 2010.
Do note that the Sharepoint i used is Sharepoint 2010 enterprise and not Sharepoint Online.
Thanks
Depends a bit on your scenario and if you are using identity federation.
If you are federating your identities to the cloud/office365 using DirSync then you have SSO to both on-premise and SSO.
If you only have MSOnline users, ie no AD on-premise or at least not syncing it, then you need to set up your on-premise SP2010 with claims support and set up a trust relationship with the Office365/SPOL STS. (At the moment since Office 365 is in private beta and under NDA - that's about what I dare to share...but it's doable)
