For fixing the issue you may change your web.config files below and watch out for highlighted attributes and correct them according your envoriment.

1. In the web.config of the different part CA, Web App and STS you have:

<membership>       <providers>
<add name=”LdapConnection” type=”Microsoft.Office.Server.Security.LdapMembershipProvider, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c”
server=”Your Server IP” port=”389″ useSSL=”false”
useDNAttribute=”false”
userNameAttribute=”uid”
userContainer=”ou=MyCustomOu,o=contoso,dc=contoso,dc=ldap
userObjectClass=”Inetorgperson”
userFilter=”(ObjectClass=Inetorgperson)”
scope=”Subtree”
otherRequiredUserAttributes=”sn,givenname,cn”
connectionUsername=”uid=postman22,ou=MyCustomOu,o=contoso,dc=contoso,dc=ldap
connectionPassword=”blog.bugrapostaci.com” />
</providers>     </membership>

3. After those changes you have been able to logon in the site collection using FBA.

For SUN LDAP 5.2
useDNAttribute should set to false and userNameAttribute must be uid
connectionUsername
attribute defines that which user account be used in binding . ( Thats not  prevents to other users logins.They can login sharepoint with their passwords)
important issue here defining the connectionUsername attribute like “uid:postman22” is not enough you may need to add full path like “uid=postman22,ou=MyCustomOu,o=contoso,dc=contoso,dc=ldap

Resolving error of “is an unexpected token. The expected token is xx or xx . Line xx ,Position xx for Sharepoint 2007

This is a very generic error  fired by .net xml parsers System.Xml.XmlException. In our scenario this error has occured when we tried to change authentication providers for a site.

Usually this error is cuased by a missing charecter or illegal charecter usage in xml files. You know we have so many configuration file in sharepoint. Basic and first look place is that the Web.Config file. Notice that the line and position values and check your web.config file any problem on this location.

For our scenario the Problem Found on 23, 109 the double quots are not supported type for includesubfolders attribute

<PageParserPath VirtualPath=”/*” CompilationMode=”Always” AllowServerSideScript=”true” IncludeSubFolders=true />

So the error has fired once sharepoint try modification to web.config for update the authentication providers. So the error source is important to define which configuration file that you have to check.
