Hi -
I have my SharePoint 2013 farm ready to go. I haven't set up a web application yet and haven't migrated over the content db from 2010. Got a question on upgrading to claims. Based on the risks involved, it would be better for us to upgrade to claims in SharePoint 2013 after the upgrade.
Now should I create a new web application using Central Administration and then attach the content database and then upgrade to Claims? I assume this new web application gets created in classic-mode first. I am thinking I can attach the database, let it upgrade, and then run the following powershell command:
Convert-SPWebApplication -Identity "http:// <servername>:port" -To Claims –RetainPermissions [-Force]
Or should I use Powershell to create the web application and specify the content database here? I assume the database gets upgraded in the process while creating the web application?
