membership/role question

Hi,

If I add a database to my application (vs2005) and use the membership
and role controls, VS seems to set up all the tables automatically.
Where does it store all this configuration information? I look in
web.config and there is nothing there.
I ask as my webspace provider has to integrate the MDF file for the
project with my MS-SQL2005 DB for me to use it. This means I would have
to reconfigure the DB connection strings etc. Wuld I just add the
needed provider information and connection strings to my project
(web.config) and it will all tie up correctly?

Sorry if this is a basic question. I'm still getting used to it all :)

There is a global connectionstring called LocalSqlServer that ASP.NET
uses to connect to the membership databases using SQL Express. However,
if you are converting to SQL Server you would need to remove this
connectionstring and re-add it with the server info for you sql
database. Here is some info on what to do:

This is how other web host are taking care of this issue.
