ASP.NET Custom MemberShip Provider Database

Here i'm explaining how to Create And Use Custom MemberShip Provider Database in ASP.NET 2.0,3.5.4.0. If you want to use Custom or your own DataBase as membership Provider instead of ASPNETDB.MDF database provided by asp.net membership provider class, than follow the steps mentioned in this article.

In this example i m going to describe how to change and use custom Database with Login Control in ASP.NET.

First of all you need to create DataBase schema for membership.
For this create a DataBase in sql server with any name you want.
Now open Visual studio command prompt and type aspnet_regsql , press enter
this will open wizard window to setup database for membership provider

Create Custom MemberShip Provider Database in ASP.NET
Alternatively you can Go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and run aspnet_regsql.exe from there
Follow the steps according to images
Use Custom MemberShip Provider Database in ASP.NET 
 Choose your Database Server and DataBase Name 

Now open web.config file and write below mentioned code 
Add connection string
<connectionStrings>
    <add name="ConnectionString" 
    connectionString="server=AVDHESH\SQLEXPRESS;
    database=CustomMembership;uid=amit;password=password;"/>    
  </connectionStrings>
Now add this code in System.web section of web.config
<roleManager defaultProvider="CustomProvider">
 <providers>
 <add connectionStringName="ConnectionString" 
      name="CustomProvider"
 type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" />
</providers>
</roleManager>

<membership defaultProvider="CustomMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add name="CustomMembershipProvider"
     type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
     connectionStringName="ConnectionString" />
</providers>
</membership>

After this click on website menu in Visual Studio and select ASP.NET Configuration 
GO to Provider Tab and click on Select a different provider for each feature (advanced) option 



Now create users by going to security tab 
Your custom membership provider with your own custom databse configuration is done 
Build and test the application

Many institutions limit access to their online information. Making this information available will be an asset to all.

I already did this. How can I authenticate the 2nd page? Example, if I will type the url of the second page, I will not access it unless I enter my username and password whether I'm an admin or not.

Hello Amit,
I have a question. When I start aspnet_regsql.exe, the procedure creates tables structure into a db. But can I use different tables structure ? I need to use other tables structure that defines roles and permissions at different level, instead of its own structure.

Thank you
Dombar

m -U -P l

Start adding the following features:
Membership

Rethabile..

I just want make sure whether i did follow up the article. If i understand clearly you saying.

I must open my Sql Server Management Studio, create an empty database.

Command Prompt...
Configuration Page..Create User and Roles

So what i want to understand is, will this create the "User, Roles, Profile, UserGroup tables" as you find in aspnet built in database or i should create the table by myself first.


Anonymous said...

I just want make sure whether i follow up. What you said is that:

1. I Open my Sql Server Management Studio
2. Create an Empty database without tables
3. VS Command Prompt
4. Configuration Page

One other question is that will the tables like "Users, Roles, Profiles, UserGroup" be created automatically?


Unknown said...

@Above : yes it will create all tables etc
