Web Site Administration Tool without IDE

I am trying to deploy a simple web application to my client's
production server, but it's not clear to me how MS planned on having
the Security users managed without Studio.

Certainly someone has run into this issue. How do you manage users
(the ones you would normally manage with the Web Site Administration
Tool) without Studio to get you to the Web Site Administration Tool ?

Thanks for your help!

You can't use the ASP.NET webadmin tool outside of the IDE. You basically
have to create your own management page.

How are you going to state that when MSDN itself tells you how to do
it? It just doesn't work. Do you know something Microsoft doesn't?

Here is the link to their page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?u...SecFeatNT2.asp

A snippet of what I'm referring to is:

--------snip-----------
There are multiple ways that you can navigate to the Web Administration
interface. If you are building a Web application within Visual Studio
..NET 2005, you can open the Web Site Administration Tool by selecting
ASP.NET Configuration from under the Website menu. If you are
developing a Web application outside of Visual Studio .NET, you can
navigate directly to the Web Site Administration Tool by requesting the
special page WebAdmin.axd. For example, if your application is located
in a virtual directory named MyWebApp on your local machine, you can
open the Website Administration Tool for your application by entering
the following URL in your Web browser.

http://localhost/MyWebApp/WebAdmin.axd

You can also use this latter method to access the Web Site
Administration Tool for a deployed application.

Behind the scenes, the Web Site Administration Tool is made up of a set
of ASP.NET pages that use the standard Login controls discussed in the
next section. These pages are located in the
inetpub\wwwroot \aspnet_webadmi n folder. If, for any reason, these files
get accidentally deleted from a server, you can automatically
re-install them by executing the aspnet_regiis tool. The aspnet_regiis
tool can also be used to control access to the Web Site Administration
Tool. For example, using the aspnet_regiis tool you can restrict access
to the Web Site Administration Tool to just the local server.

That page is out of date.

You can't use this method anymore. This was changed sometime around beta 2
IIRC. Note that the page you reference is dated June 2004, almost 18
months before the relese of Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0.

Well that's horsepoop!!! What good is the MSDN if it's not up to date?
I hate Microsoft sometimes.

I ran into the same problem and am writing a replacement for the MS web site admin tool. I've got the rules part mostly done. You can see it here:

http://www.biologicsw.biz/security/admin/usermgmt.aspx

The user and roles part shouldn't be much of a problem because of the built-in support classes.

I'll be glad to share if you think it would help you.
