We migrated Sp2007 farm to Sp2013 Server using Avepoint tool 6 months back. After that migration farm has been preety stable so far and it is now time for SP1 and new CU's to be implemented in the farm. I recently installed Sp1, upgrade
went fine except few gliches, related to BDC database not being upgraded. which was later fixed.
I am now in Post upgrade health check stage and was going through Upgrade Logs, where i saw something interesting.
The [SharePoint - projects443] web application is configured with claims authentication mode however the content database you are trying to attach is intended to be used against a windows classic authentication mode.
I am not quite sure what is this error referencing to, My web application is configured using claims auth, but i dont know what does it mean by database trying to attach is intended to be used against a windows classic authentication mode.
This is the development server i am working, and planning for QA Upgrade next week.
So i ran test-Spcontentdatabase to some web applications, where same warnings were being thrown. this is what is reads:
Category : Configuration
Error : False
UpgradeBlocking : False
Message : The [SharePoint - solutionsqa443] web application is configured with claims authentication mode
however the content database you are trying to attach is intended to be used against a windows
classic authentication mode.
Remedy : There is an inconsistency between the authentication mode of target web application and the source
web application. Ensure that the authentication mode setting in upgraded web application is the same
as what you had in previous SharePoint 2010 web application. Refer to the link"http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=236865" for more information.

Although UpgradeBlock is set to false, but i am cautious and at the same time curious about what is happening in the back end.
I dont want any future trouble because of this, because i am going to upgrade production very soon with Sp1 too.
If anybody has any ideas or resources that would help me solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
