Customer Membership and Role Providers

I have my custom Membership and Role provider, now, mostly working.  I had to use hacky methods to convert long's to Guid's, but that wasn't a show stopper.

My big concern at this point is peformance.  At login, the GetAllUsers method is called at least (4) times.  I don't even understand why it would be called at all during login.

After successfully logging in, the GetUsersInRole method is called.  This again, is a HUGE performance hit when I have 20+ roles and 10,000+ users.

I see no purpose for these methods to be called, especially at the points where they are called.  It causes a significant and noticeable degredation of performance / user experience.  Is anyone at Telerik working to optimize the Membership/Role provider wrappers?

Last question - is there a way to have the login method execute other routines after validation?  On our pervious Sitefinity 3.7 site, I would stuff extra data into the auth cookie and adjust things like the 'remember me' properties of the cookie.  Is this possible with Sitefinity 4.x?

Thanks!

Hello,

We are aware of this issue. We plan to do some performance improvements for the upcomming SP2 release due next week.

Hey Stephen,

When you say you have your custom Role Provider working and being able to log in, do you mean through the frontend of your site? I am attempting to do the same thing, where I use my own custom Membership Provider and custom Role Provider to log in through the frontend. I have the custom Membership Provider working, but the custom Role Provider is not working. Can you give me details about how you got it to work?

Thanks,

Leng
