I have a ASP.Net 2.0 website that is currently using a custom MembershipProvider and the standard login control. I would like to replace the login control with the one from DotNetOpenId. I override the ValidateUser which checks the username and password, but I shouldn't need to implement this when using OpenId. Is it possible to use O...
I have done a custom implementation of MembershipProvider but for some reason the initialize method is not being invoked and thus my provider is not setting up properly from the config parameters, who invokes it in the first place and how do i get it to work. ...
I changed the MembershipProvider in my ASP.net MVC website, and now the stylesheet for the login page isn't referenced correctly. Below is a copy of the forms tag in my web.config if that could be the reason. It looks identical though to the one generated by a new project with the exception of the name and timeout attribute. <authentica...
I'm implementing a plugin architecture to implement authentication an external authentication mechanism for a web site. One of the plugins I plan to provide is an ActiveDirectory plugin. I'd like to implement some of the features of a MembershipProvider, including MinRequiredPasswordLength, but don't want to fully implement or configur...

Hello, first off, I know that this question could be borderline-duplicate to this one, and yes, it is a bit ironic that I am asking a question for something that I even answered myself. Now, I am talking about ASP.net Profiles. I am building an application using MVC if that matters, and I believe that the built-in Profile Provider is u...
Problem, there's no method: bool ChangePassword(string newPassword); You have to know the current password (which is probably hashed and forgotten). ...

Hello, I have a project requirement where I need to authenticate against ActiveDirectory in a remote/disconnected WPF application. There is probably several ways to attempt to do this, but what would be the best approach using ActiveDirectory's MembershipProvider?

I've had to create a custom membership provider for my current ASP .Net project in order to fit in with our database schema, and am having problems configuring it to lockout a user if they get their password wrong three times, as is supported by the standard providers. Is this something I need to implement myself, or should it be suppor...
I want to build portal-like asp.net web application from scratch and was looking at asp.net MembershipProvider as a standard way for user's management. I created my provider inheriting from SqlMembershipProvider and override ValidateUser method: public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password) { ...
I've written a custom MembershipProvider that uses a custom database schema for storing the members, but I am having trouble figuring out how to deploy the provider. My target server is running IIS7, and I am able to navigate to a dialog for a adding a .NET User Provider, but instead of allowing me to select the assembly containing the ...
Hi! I have this question: "Does implementing a custom MembershipProvider class needs you to implement a custom Membership class too?" I am a bit confused about implementing a custom membership framework on ASP.NET. I dont have sample classes to show you but what if the previous website used a database or schema that is different to the ...
For a project I am currently working on, I am interested in allowing users to provide multiple e-mail addresses, both for contact purposes as well as providing address book-based social matching.

I'm having a rough time with this membership stuff. OK, so, it's really odd. I can register a user. I can register, I can login. However, when I go to register ANOTHER user the user isn't saved in the database and I get a Membership credential verification failed event when the user tries to login (I assume because the user is never b...
I currently have a site where different users can login, and depending on their sub domain, are presented with different data from different databases. I am overriding the SqlMembershipProvider to use a "temp" connection string, that I dynamically set during the Initialize Method, per this post's instructions: http://forums.asp.net/p/9...
I am wondering if it is possible to leverage the Authentication, Membership, and/or Profile provider features in .NET to help integrate .NET web apps into my company's enterprise portal. In a nutshell, the portal sends custom header values to any application that is 'behind' the portal for fields like the username, user profile data, an...
I'm about to kick off a new project using NHibernate and ASP.Net MVC and have come upon the question of membership. I'm wondering if I should use a 3rd party NHibernate Membership/Role provider, create my own, or just skip the providers all together.
