Hmm where did all the posts go? :-O

I never got anyone to answer if they had tried implementing both SqlMembershipProvider AND SqlRoleProvider in MOSS 2007 or WSS v3.

I tried implementing it, but cant get it to work as expected.

If anyone has tried this, please post here!

Hey Anders,

Sorry I couldn't move over the comments :(, godaddy doesn't give you a programmatic API for that :(.

Anyway, with my blog setup, I will now be able to focus on the real stuff :). So I will answer your Q .. ehh .. may not be that soon, but I will.

Hi Sahil,

oki. Not much documentation on custom provider subject as of now (found 1 or 2 articles on MSDN lib) but recon that will change when MOSS goes gold (yeah right! the docs for SPPT and tahoe was lacking at best... )

btw it would be nice if u could subscribe to comments like on the other blog :-/

Anders

Anders,

I am thinking of creating a checkbox "Email me when new comments are posted" on a per-post basis - but that can get icky. I may end up annoying a lot of folks with junk mails :-/, of course there will be "unsubscribe", but then it'd be more work for poor Sahil.

I have a few things on my to-do for this blog, I'll be addressin' them 1 by 1. :), but first I wanna get a few sharepoint posts out - just cuz I have a few things to say, and nobody's talkin' about 'em.

Anders,

I tried AspNetSqlRoleProvider, and I was able to use it with no problems.

Can you elaborate on the specific issues you had?

Sahil Malik

how do i use ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider and AspNetSqlRoleProvider together in sharepoint?

Hi I tried an example from


http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/09/WebParts/


With 2003 and 2007 , it gave me som wierd errors.


Any ideas why ?


How come form authentication is being lost?

"Some Weird Errors"

Obviously you are doing something weird :)

Hi,

How can I call a web service say (list.asmx) of a forms authentication enabled share point 2007 web application using API?

Liz -

You can't do forms auth on web services, because forms_auth + web services makes no sense. If you want custom auth on web services, you will have to use soapextensions etc.

How can i use my custom written authentication provider for some other database. I have tried but could not validate users. Can any one help?

The article's header would be 'Enabling Authentication using a Membership Provider'.


In this Post, you don't tell us how to make custom provider working with custom database.

I need to build a collaboration site for a client, and the main reason we chose WSS 3.0 was the ease by which you can collaborate with Word documents (including the three-state workflow). And since this would be an internet facing solution, my first instinct was to go with Forms Based Authentication Route. But as your "Point of Mention" states I can't do this with FBA. So, in other words, I still cannot have a collaboration website with WSS 3.0 if my users are using Word documents, etc.

The title of this article is a bit misleading. It is not about creating a custom membership provider, it is about setting up Sharepoint to use a membership provider that ships with the .NET framework. Following are the most helpful items I have found on actually creating a custom provider:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/44w5aswa.aspx


http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6tc47t75.aspx


http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479030.aspx


http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f1kyba5e.aspx

They are all from the MSDN because it seems like the only place that has help on actually creating true Custom providers (not simple slapping an out of the box provider on and calling is custom like so many "experts" seem inclined to do).

Yes, this isn't about creating a "Custom" membership provider. But then it is intended to be a sharepoint post, not an ASPNET post.

Anyway, thx. for the links, I am sure many will find them useful.

Hi All,

I am having a problem to get FBA on my sharepoint website, can some please help out

Here are the steps, i have taken, would be happy to provide the code in ZIP files

ASP.NET

1. Created the Custom membership provider (DLL file) in asp.net (found sample on website)

2. Tested in asp.net web admin configuration tool, worked perfect

3. Connected to database, added/modified/deleted user everything worked fine in asp.net

4. Created a test website, added CreateUser.aspx,Login.aspx, tested it, everything worked fine in asp.net

5. Created strong name key for the custom membership dll

SHAREPOINT

What i want to do is to create a web application using forms authentication (my provider)

I am the administrator for the server, has full control on everything on this server

My central admin site is on port 10000.

Created New Website at Port 5000 --> Extended the site on port 5000 (Windows Authentication)

Used an existing sharepoint Pool, added myself as administrator as well as site collection administrators

Added beleow changes to web.config file of the Central admin and the site

In the central admin site the changed the defaultProvider to AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider

In the website, it styed the same as mentioned below HDIAspNetSqlRoleProvider

Above the system.wb tag

<connectionStrings>


<add name="HDIConnectionString" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=.;Database=HDIMembershipProvider;Trusted_Connection=True;"/>

</connectionStrings>

Inside system.web tag

<!--Custom Role Provider Configuration-->


<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="HDIAspNetSqlRoleProvider">


<providers>


<add name="HDIAspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

connectionStringName="HDIConnectionString" applicationName="/"


/>


</providers>


</roleManager

<!--Custom Role Provider Configuration-->

<!--Custom Membership Provider Configuration-->


<membership defaultProvider="HDIMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">

<providers>


<clear/>


<add


name="HDIMembershipProvider"


type="HDI.AspNet.Membership.HDIMembershipProvider"


connectionStringName="HDIConnectionString"


enablePasswordRetrieval="true"


enablePasswordReset="true"


requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"


writeExceptionsToEventLog="false" />


</providers>


</membership>


<!--Custom Membership Provider Configuration-->

Next steps

1. Added the Custom Membership dll to GAC

2. Added the Custom Provider dll to the _appbin folder of central admin site

3. Added the Custom membership dll to the web.config (Compilation tag) of both central admin as well as the site.

4. For testing purposes Set the security to minimal

5. Application Management --> select the new site on port 5000 --> changed the Authentication to Forms

6. At this Point, if i can search the users using the custom provider, it resolves the id.

7. Use the URL for the site on port 5000 --> site comes up with Form authentication window -->Enter my userid and password, and hit the submit button

SHAREPOINT COMES UP WITH UNKNOWN ERROR

see this related article:

Please someone help me out on the sharepoint side to get me on the run, I feel that there is some trivial stuff is missing in the loop.

Thank you in advance, appreciate all your help

Please help me out, i stuck in this from last 2 weeks to get my FBA

I've done two custom membership providers (LDAP and MultiDomain) and may be able to help you out. Send your FBA code, membership provider code, and the web.config and I'll have a look.

I have a request to grant access to a SharePoint site based on an attribute in Active Directory. I know that WSS 2.0 and 3.0 integrate nicely with AD. one option is to create an Active Directory security group based on that attribute. However, lets suppose there I have a web service that provides that same attribute's information. Is there an easy way to grant/restrict access based on the result of the web service?

Thanks For You'r Code.


But it is not working in my scenario.


I am getting error.Aceess denied even i am admin.

I'm working on a sharepoint site(Intranet) and I want to use windows authentifications to authenticate users, but I want to store roles in my sql database, so how can I use Windows authentification and role provider???
