SP2013 Web Apps: Create Web Applications in Classic Authetication Mode

As you may already be aware, when you create a new web application in SharePoint 2013, it by default creates in claims authentication mode. If you are under going a migration and upgrade from SP2010 to SP2013 and you would first want to create classic authentication web apps to attach the DBs to, here is how:

Create your web application from PowerShell using the following script:

New-SPWebApplication -Name “<WebAppName>” -ApplicationPool “<WebAppPoolName>” -AuthenticationMethod “NTLM” -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount “DOMAIN\SPManagedAccount”) -DatabaseName “<DBName>” -Port <PortNo> -URL http://URL​

Note that if you indicate the port number in the parameter, you don't need to include it in the Url Parameter.

My next blog post talks about converting a web application from classic to claims authentication mode, in SharePoint 2013.

SharePoint: How to create a custom action to open Word Documents using "Edit in Microsoft Word".

Imagine you have a SharePoint custom search webpart, and on your search results, you return word documents, you will obviously want to at times be able to open them in your MS Word client program for editing. So basically, depending on your office client installed on your local machine, there are 2 different approaches that can be made for Office 2003 and Office 2007/10, using the same function " editDocumentWithProgID2 ".
