Simple Logon System using Membership provider

Question

I have a website which requires pretty simple logon restriction to a set folder (2 users) I'd like to use the Membership provider but have a sql DB (While easy and painless) seems a bit of overkill.

Is there a simpler way of doing this? without re-writting the membership provider.

Answer 1

You can use your web.config to store your members and roles definitions/credentials. A sample here: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20060529.asp

Answer 2

You could hard code the password hashes for the 2 users into the asp files and match the hash at logon :)

Answer 3

In the end, I've decided the best way is to use the SQL database and standard tables.
