Configuring Form based authentication in Sharepoint

I tried to explain why form based authentication is not supported and how to configure it using third party tools.

The form based authentication has not been supported in Sharepoint due to its complexity and complication procedure to activate it but you can use some of third party tools and procedure given in below links to configure it. I woudl suggest not to use this.
