Hi Shannon
Lets take the easy one first. By default, Lock Topic capability is only
available to those individuals who have 'ManageNamespace' rights. Other
individuals are not able to access or use this feature.
We probably need to update the notes in web.config. Using Windows
Authentication through Forms may have been possible in IIS 5 with ASP.NET
1.1, but I don't think it would work in IIS 6 with ASP.NET 2.0.
ASP.NET 2.0will only use a SQL Provider as far as I can see (and in my
experience - but
I could be proven wrong). The support in FlexWiki is only for the Membership
Provider, it does not include the Profile Provider, but there may be ways of
using WikiTalk to effectively manage the experience if you describe the
requirement.
With regard to your authentication requirements, can you describe your
environment a bit.
What are your options: is there a firewall or proxy between the users and
the web server? Are you using Windows Web Edition, or reqular server? Is the
Web Server part of an AD domain, or is it standalone?
