Custom membershipprovider without Guid - Sitefinity - Bugs & Issues

I'm using Sitefinity 4.1. I'm writing my own custom asp.net membership provider with an existing database. This existing database doesn't have a Guid for identifying each record. I just implemented the GetallUsers method. When I return an empty MembershipUserCollection it works. If return a filled MembershipUserCollection I get an exception on the login page:


            [FormatException: Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).]
   System.Guid.TryParseGuidWithNoStyle(String guidString, GuidResult& result) +3916597
   System.Guid.TryParseGuid(String g, GuidStyles flags, GuidResult& result) +245
   System.Guid.Parse(String input) +73
   Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.UserWrapper.CopyFrom(MembershipUser user, String applicationName) +140

   Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.RouteHandlerBase.Handler_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e) +199
   System.Web.UI.Page.OnPreInit(EventArgs e) +8897726
   System.Web.UI.Page.PerformPreInit() +31
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +328

I'd gues the Sitefinity security wrapper expects the ProviderUserKey to be a Guid which isn't the case. Or am I doing something wrong here?

Hello El Barto,

Yes, we expect guids. You can create some Guid mapper in your custom database, so you can use your users with Sitefinity.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the response.
I'm sure Telerik has it's reasons for choosing only to support Guid's but it limits the flexibility of the membershipprovider. I think that's unfortunate.

Regards,

Bart

Hi El Barto,

In the SqlMembershipProvider the unique identifier is also supposed to be a guid or you should cast the value to guid.
