SharePoint form-based authentication with custom database
- by Clodin
Hi,
I have SharePoint site and I want to use form-based authentication, not Windows how it is by default.
For this I read that I have to modify the web.config from Central Administration and web.config from my site with the membership and roleManager tags configured properly.
But if I use this:
<membership>
<providers>
<add name="MyProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider,
System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
.../>
</providers>
</membership>
System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider requires a database generated with ASP.NET SQL Server Setup Wizard (aspnet_regsql.exe), and this is my problem!
I want to use another database with cunstom table 'Users' from where to take the username and password for authentication.
How can I do this?
Thank you in advance
