Explanation:
SharePoint, even WSS v3, supports the use of multiple authentication providers in a single
SharePoint environment, allowing you to use something like ASP.NET’s Forms Based Authentication
(FBA), LiveID, or even SharePoint lists as an additional authentication repository for users beyond
just Active Directory. FBA is the most commonly used authentication provider beyond Active
Directory, accounts are stored in a SQL Server database separate from AD and managed separately
from AD as well.
