In my setup, I had the following softwares in order to get the claims based authentication to work. You can install all the softwares on the same VM/HyperV it would not really matter. Typically most people have the list of the software below, but not have Microsoft Identity Framework. This is a free software from Microsoft that is required in order to set up STS.
- Microsoft Identity Framework 3.5 (Note: Not 4.0)
- SharePoint 2010
- Visual Studio 2010
Hardware
In my setup at the client, here is how my VM machine evolved over a period of 6 weeks:
- 1 VM - 2 GB Ram and 1 Processor (week 1) with SQL Express
- 1 VM - 4 GB Ram and 1 Processor (week 2) with SQL Express
- 2 VM - 4 GB Ram and 1 Processor and 2 GB Ram and 1 Processor (Full SQL)
- 2 VM - 4 GB Ram and 2 Processor and 2 GB Ram and 1 Processor (Full SQL)
- 2 VM - 8 GB Ram and 2 Processor and 4 GB Ram and 1 Processor (Full SQL)
- 2 VM - 8 GB Ram and 2 Processor and 8 GB Ram and 2 Processor (Full SQL)
SharePoint worked even in my week 1, but it was very slow. If you are going to be debugging the code, then it is better to start with 8GB Ram and 2 processor. If you have anything less then it takes approximately 60-70 seconds to cause the processor to break at your break point and another 20 seconds to just stop it. In the last week, we added more RAM and Processor to other VM because I added another developer. We used the same SQL Server box for the new developer too.
