Users Authentication in ASP.NET

Question

Hey everyone,

I was wondering, what's the best approach in creating users authentication for my asp.net-mvc web application.

Should I use the Forms authentication using a custom MembershipProvider ? Or should I implement my own login and registration mechanism for my users?

Answer 1

Seems silly to reinvent the wheel if you don't have a pressing business need to do so. I'd go with forms authentication with a custom provider (if necessary)

Answer 2

Unless you have some special needs, its always best to use the out-of-the-box solution. So perhaps you should describe what considerations makes you consider rolling your own? (And add that information to the original question - this will help people provide useful answers).
