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!

have configured the membershipt services correctly in your web.config.

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:
<connectionStri ngs>
<remove name="LocalSqlS erver" />
<add name="Connectio nStringName"
connectionStrin g="SERVER=YourS erver;DATABASE= YourDatabase;UI D=YourUserID;PW D=YourPassword" />
</connectionStrin gs>

<system.web>
.....
<membership>
<providers>
<remove name="AspNetSql MembershipProvi der" />
<add connectionStrin gName="Connecti onStringName"
enablePasswordR etrieval="false "
enablePasswordR eset="true" requiresQuestio nAndAnswer="tru e"
applicationName ="/"
requiresUniqueE mail="false" passwordFormat= "Hashed"
maxInvalidPassw ordAttempts="5"
minRequiredPass wordLength="7" minRequiredNona lphanumericChar acters="0"
passwordAttempt Window="10" passwordStrengt hRegularExpress ion=""
name="AspNetSql MembershipProvi der"
type="System.We b.Security.SqlM embershipProvid er, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0 ,
Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b03f5f7f11d50a3 a" />
</providers>
</membership>
.....
</system.web>

be sure to change YourXXXX in the example.
