It gives me an error message that it can't establish a connection with sql server (I don't even use it). So, my questions are the following:
- if I use an implemented RoleProvider class, will I be able to distinguish to users which belong to different roles and therefore deny access to some resources on the server?
- can I use the OracleClient class as usual to implement the specific methods needed?
- is any other way to implement this kind of functionality?
I've search the web for a day and I haven't find anything useful yet, I've found some documentation about how to implement this stuff using an ms sql server but what about an oracle database, I could ask.
So, any help is very appreciated! Thanks in advance!
See this article on
Role Management Providers for more information on configuring your project correctly to use your custom class.
See this
Sample of Role-Provider Implementation for more information on creating a custom role provider.
There is no "simple" way to connect to an Oracle database serving as the data source for your role management. You're going to have to implement a custom role provider class...
