Re: "Using the ASP.NET Sql Membership Provider in Sitefinity"
I'm trying to implement "Using the ASP.NET Sql Membership Provider in Sitefinity" from www.sitefinity.com/.../using_the_asp_net_sql_membership_provider_in_sitefinity.
I'm not seeing any changes in my instance of Sitefinity - the screen shot from the blog post shows multiple providers under the Users section, that isn't happening for me.
Does this work in 5.x sites?
Hello Elizabeth,
Your version of Sitefinity is not the problem here. Maybe something went wrong during the whole process which prevents the provider from showing. Most of the steps in the blog post are related to working with data in that provider. The only one that could have caused it to disappear is the one where you register it in web.config.
Please double check that the code from the blog post is present in your web.config (with the correct connection to your database). Then restart the application and if it still does not appear, send us the log files from the ~/App_Data/Sitefinity/Logs folder. There may have been an error that caused the provider to disappear.
This needs to be in the web.config file? Not DataConfig.config?
I see the new membership provider after I put the connection string in the web.config. Is there a way to have it work with the connection string in the DataConfig.config?
I'm trying out the various user and login widgets with the new provider. I'm able to use the Registration wideget, but only if I don't have it add the new users to a role. If I try to have new users default to a role, I get the error "You are trying to access item that no longer exists."

Hi Elizabeth,
Putting the connection string in web.config is a requirement for using additional providers. The DataConfig.config file is only understood by Sitefinity and it has a slightly different format for its own providers. Following the procedure from the blog post, you are making sure that any ASP.NET provider is mapped to Sitefinity, but moving the connection string is a requirement.
As for the Registration widget - are you using the Sitefinity Registration widget available in the toolbox, or a regular ASP.NET one?
