Migrate SharePoint 2010 classic-mode web application to a SharePoint 2013 claims-based authentication.

I was working on the migration from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. I have detached and attached the SP content database (classic mode authentication) from SharePoint 2010 server to 2013 server. I have also mounted the SharePoint content DB (classic mode authentication) to 2013 classic mode web application. Next step is to convert SharePoint 2010 classic-mode web application to a SharePoint 2013 claims-based authentication. In this blog you will see how to convert SharePoint 2010 classic-mode web application to a SharePoint 2013 claims-based authentication using PowerShell.
