Membership API data corruption????

8 New Member
Hello,

Has anyone ever experienced data corruption when using the .NET 2.0 Membership API security framework and SQL Server 2000? I wrote a web app for a client that has 300 users. Most of the users are fine, but a handful are complaining that they use their account for a week or two and then "all of a sudden" their password is not valid anymore.

They also claim that when they try to use the password reset utility after their password goes bad, they get an error that their security answer (required on this system) is incorrect -- really mind boggling since I added code to make the security answer case insensitive, and they use really simple answers like "car" or "bus".

Mind you, the account I set up for myself on their live system has been perfectly intact for 10 months now. And we know that data generally doesn't magically change itself.

The first thing that comes to mind is user input error. But I've been arguing with the client for 3 weeks now, and they insist they are entering the correct password and/or security answer.

Has anyone ever experienced this phenomenon? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Hi I was working fine with create user wizard and the default membership provider. I have now customised the membership provider as per attached web.config. The create user wizard picks up the custom membership provider fine and removes the security question/answer fields as designated in the custom provider. The problem is that when I try to create a new user in the create user wizard by entering the info and pressing the 'create...

Please forgive me, this is a long one. My 11-user Access 2000 database is having recurring corruption problems. The symptoms include the following: 1) corrupted fields in recently created or accessed records 2) incorrectly linked records via primary and foreign keys (looking at the tables displays the correct key number but when filtered it links to a different number). 3) truncating of text entered in a memo field

I have been having some trouble with implementing a custom Membership Provider. We have a custom data store and business logic that pulls user information. I need some level of functionality above and beyond what the prodiver currently allows. I need the ability to access a user id and the user's permission id. With Forms authentication in 1.1, I would just create a custom identiy and principal and store the information in the identity....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
