RE: Get data from Local Web.config not machine.config

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Solution.

The problem is the application Inheritance. The app get information from the
machine.config.
All membership providers in machine.config are added to the membership
providers in the local web.config.

To solve this use the <clear/> tag in the Membership section this will clear
all inherited membership providers for the app.

<membership >
<providers >
<clear />
<add name="MemberProv1" applicationName="/myapp"
connectionStringName="MemConnection1" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
minRequiredPasswordLength="3" requiresUniqueEmail="false"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
<add name="ADProvider1"
attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName"
connectionStringName="ADConnectionString1" connectionUsername="rpaul"
connectionPassword="ajdoivmejr" enableSearchMethods="true"
type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
</providers>
</membership>


Then when I use:
Dim MemSection As New MembershipSection
Dim RoleSection As New RoleManagerSection
MemSection = rootWebConfig1.GetSection("system.web/membership")
RoleSection = rootWebConfig1.GetSection("system.web/roleManager")

RoleSection.Providers(0).Name or
Membership.Providers(0).Name

I will only get RoleProviders or Membership providers from my web.config

I will not use Providers from the machine config. in the app.

Thank you,

| Allen,
|
| Thank you for your reply,
|
| I was hopping that the Configuration objects would have some funcions
that
| only read the sections in the local config file only and not the machine
| config. The Membership and role sections may contain passwords so I
planned
| to encript them in some installations. This would make using the xml
reader
| and stream reader more complax. If I cannot get a list of Membership and
Role
| providers only from the local config file I can put a list of the
providers
| in the appSettings section. This makes the application setup more complex
but
| may be necessary.
|
| Thank you
