ASP.NET MVC custom membership for beginners

Question

Hi, I am creating my own website and blog and I want for first time just me in database (my name and password) and maybe later some registration for others but first log in just for me and administration with authorization. I don´t want to use Membership from MS. I want try to create my own from start so I am looking for guide for beginners but I found big guides with roles, rights. I want just small example with check username, password in database with log on data. Thanks for help Libor

Answer 1

Hey @Bibo, good for not choosing the Membership providers. I think a UserService or similar which provides methods for creating, authenticating users and some few more methods should be enough. As a suggestion, use password hashing and a password salt for the user´s password. Here is a good link to look at. Also have a look at this answer I gave some time ago.

Good luck!

EDIT: The rememberMe parameter should be named keepMeSignedIn instead.

This article on forms authentication gives you loads of info for creating your own simple security system, especially the bit about FormsAuthenticationTicket.
