We do not recommend using NTLM authentication in the extended zone your shoppers will use because some of the Default site functionality that requires a shopper log in will not function correctly when logging in under NTLM. This includes functions such as registration, profile management, login and logout, to name a few. This occurs because of a synchronization limitation of profile information between the Windows account, Commerce Server 2009, and SharePoint. However, primary browsing, shopping, and checkout functions are not affected. |
Note
In the event that you need to completely redeploy the production site, the suggested mechanism to save your Product Average Ratings List and Reviews and Ratings List is to save both lists as list templates, redeploy the production site, and then recreate the lists from the list templates.
By default, list templates have a maximum size of 10MB. You can modify this limit up to 500 MB by following the procedure at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=139307.
