Audiencing with Forms-Based Authentication (FBA)
This really is no different from when you create an audience
with regular old NTLM (Windows Authentication). The
difference is that while the AD provider is set up by
default in all environments, the extra membership provider
(that you use for Forms Authentication) isn't included
anywhere except in the web application where you install
it. To be able to find your FBA users in the audience
creation tool, you'll need to add the extra membership
provider(s) to the web.config for your SSP site in IIS. At
that point, the People Picker should start recognizing your
Forms Auth users, and you can create your audience as
needed.
