Security :: After Adding New User With Membership.CreateUser Aspnet_membership Is Empty?
Aug 12, 2010
I have a problem with my membership management. I moved the aspnet membership database to my MSSQL server and I would like to create an add user form not using the CreateUserWizard (I would like to add more information then in the simple CUW). I've created the form and I would like to use the Membership.CreateUser method to add the user. After running the script (VB) the user is available in the aspnet_Users table, also in the aspnet_UserInRoles table but not in the aspnet_Membership table. I'm sure that something is wrong with the configuration, I just can't find what.
There are lots of posts about this issue but I can't work out the answers as most of them are for C# or similar. I'm trying to automatically insert the UserId generated by Membership into a custom table. I have membership working correctly, as well as the custom table (I'm able to insert other things from the registration form). But I can't get it to extract the generated UserId and insert it into the custom table. Here's my code:
[Code]....
As you can see I've experimented with the parameters for inserting the record, but that doesn't work (I get an error about ProviderKey not being a part of system.web.security.membershipuser).
I am working on the user registration process which uses the asp.net membership provider. When users are registered with the application, the some of the user details(emailID, password, password salt, password question, answer etc) are stored in aspnet_Membership table.
We have a requirement of adding two additional columns in the same table for secondary password question and answer. I see that this table has a lot of dependencies with the membership stored procedures. Kindly let me know how some of the extra columns can be added to this table.
I'm trying to use the Membership.CreateUser method without passing a security question and answer. I set them to string.empty, but no go. I have my provider set to not require a question in my web.config. What am I doing wrong?
I've created a membership system based on asp.net 2. There are other tables that store user information, such as emails sent etc. I've created a users table based on the TableProfileProvider. My question is concerning deleting the member
Is it OK to delete the member from the aspnet_membership table and roles related tables using Membership.DeleteUser, though keep all the custom tables and the information including the information in the Users table created by the TableProfileProvider? or can you foresee problems?
I'm working with 2 sites (Intranet and Extranet) that share the same .net membership database (the standard out of the box version). The Intranet and Extranet site users are stored in separate "Applications" within the membership database. I create all users for both sites from within the intranet site. Everything seems to be working except that when i create a user for the extranet site I end up with 2 rows for that user in aspnet_users. One with userID (guid) that I send in and another with a different guid. I'm assusming that .net is creating an anonymous user. The intranet membership provider is the default.
I could delete this row through sql but am hoping for a more elegant solution. Any suggestions?
I'm having issues using the membership.createuser method. My code is below, I get a null exception as runtime.
Dim username As String = userNameTxt.Text Dim password As String = passwordTxt.Text Dim email As String = emailTxt.Text Dim status As New MembershipCreateStatus Dim blank As String = "" Dim provider As MembershipProvider Dim providerUserKey As New System.Object Dim user As MembershipUser user = provider.CreateUser(username, password, email, blank, blank, True, providerUserKey, status)
I want to migrate users and posts from an existing forum I am using to a ASP.NET membership table without using CreateUser. Basically I want to maintain userIDs so that when I migrate posts they continue to associate with the correct users. Is there a way to do this or would I be better off just using CreateUser and then finding a way to re-assign the post-by-UserIDs to the correct new IDs?

In order to better learn various techniques in ASP.NET development, I've written an ASP.NET app at home, which I use for learning. (It's a simple application we use to track our video library.) When I first started it, I didn't bother with adding membership to it. However, I've recently thought it might be nice to add the ability to allow family members to vote on various movies, etc. In order to track their preferences, I'd need table in the database, etc. (I won't bother going into the details.) So I was thinking that it might be good to add ASP.NET membership to this app, but I've never done that before. Normally, I've only added membership to an ASP.NET app when I was first getting it started; not on an established app. Can I add ASP.NET membership to an older app?
And if the answer to that question is yes, then I would like to use simple Windows authentication. This is a simple peer-to-peer network I've got, everyone has an account (profile) on the box that hosts the ASP.NET app, so I would just use that. Right now this app is an ASP.NET 3.5 app, but I could move it up to ASP.NET 4.0.
I am playing around with the membership database and have a question. Lets say I have a company called company ABC. There are 10 branches that belong to comapany ABC.
IS there anyway to create a relationship within the database using company ABC as the parent and having the 10 branches as childs?
I'm currently writing a website in VWD2010 Express, which requires me to write a custom membership provider.
I've followed the tutorial here [URL] , which seems relatively straight forward.
I am, however, struggling at the stage where the custom membership provider is included in a site. Now obviously the tutorial writer is using a different version of VS to me, so I've had to adapt it somewhat. Instead of building the class as a dll, and referencing that in a new site, I've started a new site from scratch and added the custom membership provider to the Add_Code file (HDIMembershipProvider.vb). It is now required that I add details of the provider to the web.config file, which seems to be where I am encountering problems.
The tutorial requires me to add:
[Code]....
within the System.Web part of the web.config file. However, upon running the site I get the error:
Could not load type 'HDI.AspNet.Membership.HDIMembershipProvider'.
I realise that how you reference the class must have changed since the tutorial was written, but I can't for the life of me find the format I should be using, and trial&error has turned up nothing so far.
The error message below i get when I"m trying to create a new user in a project management system we use for a client. I type in all the corresponding information then when I click create it throws this error.

I would like to know simple thing, If i'm adding additional information to UserProfile such as: Country, PhoneNumber etc'.. So, I added a Table In my DB (which also Got all Membership Provider tables...)
UserProfile, and added Stored Procedures for it for Insert / Update... I would like to know, If I need to create in Business Object a Class for Profile Only? (Cause the User is managed Already by the Membership Provider) And Create for it Also in Business Logic -> ProfileManager with Methods that will use the Stored Procedures to Update and Insert Details? Do I need to do it like this? Or there is another way? What's the right way doing it?
The following code is used to add the asp membership tables to an already existing database instead of creating a seperate database for membership and having two databases in the application.
aspnet_regsql.exe -S .SQLEXPRESS -U username -P password -d databsename -A all
It works fine by adding the membership tables to the existing database that is located in the c drive, program files sqlserver folder.
But my database however is not in the c drive but located in my asp website app_data folder, so the above code does not give any error and the tables are not added after I run it. how can I now add the membership tables using the above code when my database is located in the website app_data folder,
I am wondering what's the easiest way to go about doing this. I am using the user signup form control that comes with .net and they can create user through the application and once they do users see the "members area" of my site.
However, they are only trial members. using my paypal form, once they pay for service, they become a paid member.. so I want to keep track of this in the membership table by having a column in that table: bit registeredUser. Do I have to create my own overriden membership class for this, at first I thought there was already a column like this called isApproved, but seems thats for something else because if its set to false user cannot even login.
