RE: Web Administration Tool Crashes when creating user

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for your post. I am Hongye Sun [MSFT] and it is my pleasure to work
with you on this issue.

From your question, I see that you have configured connection string
"Membership" and membership provider "AspNetSqlMembershipProvider", however
when you attempting to create a user, open SQL connection exception is
thrown at code: ASP.security_users_adduser_aspx.PopulateCheckboxes().

In ASP.security_users_adduser_aspx.PopulateCheckboxes() method, which is
located at
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles\Security\
Users\addUser.aspx. It will check if the Role Manager has been enabled. If
yes, it will get all roles in the system, which will open a SqlRoleProvider
connection. However, in your code, there is no SqlRoleProvider configured.
That is possible the cause of the the problem.

In order to check if the Role Manger has been enabled, please check the
following code in web.config file:
------------------------------------------
<system.web>
<roleManager enabled="true" />
</system.web>
------------------------------------------

To fix this issue, just set enabled to false in code above.

Website Administration Tool is development tool in Visual Studio. When you
open it from Visual Studio, there will be an ASP.NET development server
tray shown. The development server is run as your current user's account.
That means you have to grant current development user with read permission
on membership or role database.

In addition, here is walkthrough to configure Website Administration Tool
to connect to database:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/08/25/423703.aspx

It is reusing the default connection string name: LocalSqlServer, which is
used by default Membership or Role manager. If you change the connection
string name from "Membership" to "LocalSqlServer", you do not need to
configure any Membership and Role providers in web.config. ASP.NET will use
the default providers to connect to your database. In addition, I see that
you have not cleared the default settings of connection strings and role
providers,.Website Administration Tool will try to open the default
connection string when loading security tab, that is the possible cause of
the slow loading.

BTW: I was unable to open jrl.webhop.net site. So please point out me if I
missed anything here. Thanks.

I see that you have many questions on this issue. Please let me know if my
reply answers all of them. I will be very glad to help if you have further
questions. Have a nice day!
