Re: using custom database for membership and rolls ?


"out of the box" will run on Express, 2005 "normal" editions, and even 2000.
Go here:
http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=MembershipProvider+%22Sql+Server+2000%22

and you'll see how an alternate, but still "out of the box" system can work.
This is using the SqlMembershipProvider.

No, if you have a custom database...and you've written a custom membership
provider, you don't need any setup tool.

However, you need to configure your config file to actually use the custome
membership provider you have.

Here is a good learning exercise:

and it will take you to
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/Aa336558.aspx Sample Access
Providers

This is how to use Access (Jet database) for membership.

Obviously, you're probably not going to actually use Access, but if you get
the Access thing working, and the CustomMembershipProvider(viaAccess)
working, you will begin to understand how it all fits.

...

There aren't alot of shortcuts. You actually gotta understand how an
alternative one works, then you can start to code your own.

Work thru the Access, and it'll start to make sense.

You got the tools and links now, now you gotta make the attempt.

If you have a custom database, you need to write a custom membership
provider which interacts with that database.

Ah! I might be beginning to see the light!

Is it fair to say the 'out of the box' is really only suitable for SQL
Express?

If one is writing their own custom mebership provider, does one still need
to run the command-line tool to 'setup' their custom database?

Are there any articles/tutorials that focus more on the 'write your own'
rather than the 'click click wizard' technique?
