FBA Permissions

I built a new SharePoint 2013 site and moved ContentDB's from our old SharePoint 2010 site.
I installed the SharePoint 2013 FBA Pack, and can log in with an FBA Account. But when I log in with an Admin Windows Account and look at Users and Permissions, there are no FBA items listed to add users, membership, etc.

If I uninstall SharePoint 2013 FBA pack and instal the 2010 Pack, then the FBA items are listed. I can then add a new FBA User, except the FBA User has access to all the folders listed where previously, I had to add them to the folders for which you would have access to.

Any ideas?
So the extra menu items aren't showing up in Site Settings?

Make sure that you're logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, or you won't see them.

Additionally, check the Site Collection Features and make sure that the Forms Based Authentication Management feature is activated (Or they won't show as well).
Here is the error I get when deploying FBA2013:

PS C:\Users\SP_Admin\Downloads\SharePoint2013FBA1.3.4>
Found the issue. Running SharePoint 2013, a SharePoint 2010 Content DB was used. Created a new site, Deploy works fine.
So the issue really is is updating a SharePoint 2010 ContentDB to SharePoint 2013 that had SharePointFBA2010 installed.

I detached the DB, copied it to the new SQL Svr and attached it. Then I deleted the ContentDB from the newly created Web App and ran the Test-SPContentDatabase command. The results are:

PS C:\Users\SP_Admin> Test-SPContentDatabase -Name SP2010_LatamDB -WebApplicatio

So the site in SharPoint 2013 looks like SharePoint 2010. Do I need to use the FBA2010 in the SharePoint 2013 Web Application?
No, the 2010 FBA Pack will not work on SharePoint 2013, even if you're using the 2010 UI.

Looking at the error:

Enable-spfeature : The Feature is not a Farm Level Feature and is not found in a Site level defined by the Url https://server.domain.com:443.


I believe the problem is that you are specifying central admin as the deployment target. You should specify the site collection where it will be activated, not central admin. Alternatively you can just run ".\deploy" with no parameters, and then activate the feature on any site collection you would like to use it.
I was able to use SharePointFBA2010 on the SharePoint 2013 Sites. I have 2 sites that are new and setup on Sharepoint 2013, but since the other one is from SharePoint 2010, I cannot use FBA 2013.
Somebody else just ran into the same thing. See here:

https://sharepoint2013fba.codeplex.com/discussions/547565#post1253059

I guess this is something i'll have to look into. I've raised an issue here: https://sharepoint2013fba.codeplex.com/workitem/23
