I want to implement membership where email is used as the user id. Is there a ready-made provider for this, or do I have to write my own one? Or should I just make do with the 'default' one?

I want to use email address as username in membership api instead of accepting a username.
i want that user can signup to my site using email address and he can login using email id+password instead username and password.
I inherited a project whereby a website is utilizing the Membership Provider to allow for new account signups. This site utilizes different domains which point to the same root. In code, different pages are displayed based on which domain was used to connect to the site.
The Membership Provider sends an email confirmation to the end user upon account signup, based on (I'm guessing) some hard coded config value for that contains the From email address. Is there anyway to conditionally specify this From email address at run time? Or is it only possible to use a hard coded config value for this email address?
Is it possible to call a membership provider to generate a username and password automatically?
View 1 RepliesI'm using the ASP.NET SQL Membership Provider. So, there's an aspnet_Users table that has details of each of my users. (Actually, the aspnet_Membership table seems to contain most of the actual data). I now want to store some per-user information in my database, so I thought I'd just create a new table with a UserId (GUID) column and an FK relationship to aspnet_Users. However, I then discovered that I can't easily get access to the UserId since it's not exposed via the membership API. (I know I can access it via the ProviderUserKey, but it seems like the API is abstracting away the internal UserID in favor of the UserName, and I don't want to go too far against the grain).
So, I thought I should instead put a LoweredUserName column in my table, and create an FK relationship to aspnet_Users using that. Bzzzt. Wrong again, because while there is a unique index in aspnet_Users that includes the LoweredUserName, it also includes the ApplicationId - so in order to create my FK relationship, I'd need to have an ApplicationId column in my table too. At first I thought: fine, I'm only dealing with a single application, so I'll just add such a column and give it a default value. Then I realised that the ApplicationId is a GUID, so it'd be a pain to do this. Not hard exactly, but until I roll out my DB I can't predict what the GUID is going to be. I feel like I'm missing something, or going about things the wrong way. What am I supposed to do?

i am using membership provider to create new user.
View 2 RepliesI am using Membership provider.. I integrated the aspnet member tables into my database.
I need the user to enter password on a data entry form and validate it against the membership tables.
How can I do this. This is the set up. I have few fields and user enters those fields and also enters the password, and submits the form. It is kind of like signature... i am looking for something like..
If txtPassword.text = membershipprovider password
{
//do this...
}
It's new to me to use the membership provider class.I was able to inherits the MembershipProvider in my library(HDIMembershipProvider.vb) and a lot of functions are generated. When I created the form to create a user like this:
[Code]....
Once the user clicks submit, how this function can be called ?

Each time I submit, the function is never called.

I have a CreateUserWizard that uses the membership provider and creates a user in a sql server database.I need to change the IsApproved property on creation to false.I know that it can be done by createing a custom navigation template... but then i will have to code all the checks for the creation of the user...Is there any other way to access that attribute?this is the aspx code:

Im a newbie to the world of ASP and C#, I have just created my first Registration form using the CreateUserWizard Membership Provider and set up the validators which work great, Appart from the "Username". If the user name is taken the page simply refreshes and no error appears would be realy greatfull if somone could point out where I might be going wrong. Here is my current code :
SCRIPT
protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

I am using the Membership provider that is included in Framework 3.5. I need to be able to add properties to the user such as country and birth date. I have read about the alternative provider that microsoft distibutes called TableProvider where you can define extra properties in the webconfig. I hesitate a bit about using it as there where some stuff about adding rules to the database to allow access. Since i use a hosted server and i am almost clueless about database administration it got me enough worried to think out my own solution. A. any feedback about using table provider from people that have experience of it?
View 4 RepliesWhen a user logs in into my website I have a custom membership provider that overrides ValidateUser and verifies that the user has sufficient rights etc.
However, when implementing a 'remember me' function through the default forms authentication using RememberMeSet, I also want to validate a user on the first request.
Is there some hook I can attach to that triggers when a user logs in with their persistent cookie?
I've created custom membership provider and it is more convenient for me to operate on MembershipUser.ProviderUserKey rather than UserName. So, to retrieve ProviderUserKey I perform such code:
if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
int UserID = (int)Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey;
}
However, when GetUser() method is executed, user data must be retrieved from database and this is bugging me. This is unnecessery waste of server time, no matter how short this time is, I would like to avoid it. Is there any other way to get ProviderUserKey in a more convenient way, like in User.Identity.Name case? I would like to hear your ideas. How do you solve this problem on your webpages?.
Does anyone has a solution (sample code) for the following features:
Create a randomGuid/Cryptographically strong random number Send a unique URL containing the random number to the user's email address When confirmed, the user is asked to change password

The security issues with this type of procedure have been discussed here before.
I created a custom forms authentication and membership provider and it seems to work fine opening up in WAT, creating roles and adding users. Also when I in my mvc app use it to log users in, it works fine. However it seems to fail to determine a user's role (no errors, but just jump over User.IsInRole(...) lines and Roles.GetRolesForUser(); comes up empty. I got a gut feeling I did something wrong with my configuration, so for now I'll post just that:

I am using an email address as my "username" for Login. When a user logs in the User object that is created has the Email address as the name which is incorrect. The actual name is another field in the DB. How do I login and authenticate against the email address and then load the correct name in the User object?

I am trying to create a Forms Authenticated site and have already used the aspnet_regsql tool to create the necessary logic in my SQL Server DB to hold my data. Now, I am looking to create a custom Membership, User and Role provider for my DB model. I was looking at the following video: [URL]
Now, I get the concept on how to go about it but I notice that this guy uses custom DB Procedures as to the ones that are generated by the aspnet_regsql tool. Can anyone direct me on where I can find info on how to go about building the Membership, User and Role provider class using the DB structure that aspnet_regsql generates? So much junk on google that I am having a hard time finding good guidance.
I am creating a interface for User Role Management based on built in membership provider.I want to display all the roles as check boxes for a selected user. I am able to display all the roles in the database, but not able to load the specific user roles. For example, I am able to publish role 1 role 2 role3 role 4 as check boxes. But if the user is already flagged as role 1 and role 3, I am not able to show that data (role1 and 3 should be checked when form loads, but right now, they are not checked)...How do I get the roles as checked boxes display on a page.I am using a repeater control to display roles as check boxes on the page..
<asp:Repeater ID="UsersRoleList" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="RoleCheckBox" AutoPostBack="true" Text='<%# Container.DataItem %>'

My question is, what is the best way to implement the role provider, considering I get the Roles etc from the database?
