Sitefinity User migration - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

we have an existing sitefinity 5 database that holds around 200+ users with PW encrypted. we developed a new site layout with diff. pages/images/module etc. in a fresh backup copy of the live db.

Now we want to use that db copy as our live db but have since added more users in the live db. I can't just add them manually since the passwords are encrypted. How can I import/write code that adds any new users to the backup db copy without restoring the whole DB. Or can I just copy some tables.

thanks

Doug

Hi Doug,

The best approach in your particular case is to implement a custom membership provider. I am suggesting this solution mainly because all the passwords for your users are hashed. Please check the following documentation article where you can find detailed information how to implement a custom membership provider.

thanks for the response, but I don't want users to have to selected which provider? Doesn't Telerik have a routine to migrate the users content to another db?

Hi Doug,

There is no option available when all the passwords are hashed. This is the reason why I have suggested to implement a membership provider.
