membership not working when using IIS

[jan82]

Hi all

I'm developing a website with Visual web developer in C#. Everything
works fine when testing using ctrl+F5. Also, IIS runs ASP.NET pages
without any problems. The problem I'm facing now is that standard
ASP.NET membership is not working when not using the visual studio
testing webserver. I just get the message that logging in has failed.

Any suggestions?

Thnx!

Jan

Make sure that you have added membership services to your database or you
have configured the membershipt services correctly in your web.config.
it is working fine with me.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database.
Login failed.

Then as I told you, check your configuration for your membership provider.
1)first if you are using your own database, you have to install membership
services on your database using aspnet_resql tool

2)you have to configure your connection string for your membership database
if it another database, or use your owen database connection string
confguration in web.config

3)Example:
<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="ConnectionStringName"
connectionString="SERVER=YourServer;DATABASE=YourDatabase;UID=YourUserID;PWD=YourPassword" />
</connectionStrings>

<system.web>
.....
<membership>
<providers>
<remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" />
<add connectionStringName="ConnectionStringName"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
applicationName="/"
requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Hashed"
maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""
name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</providers>
</membership>
.....
</system.web>

be sure to change YourXXXX in the example.
