Identity Interface I should know better

WCF Ria Authentication and SqlMembershipProvider

 

Getting the Authentication working is a snap, if you remember how to specify the connection string for the SqlMembershipProvider.

 

I had forgotten.

So it was back to Asp.net 2.0 even though I have an Application built with Silverlight 4.0.

Since WCF RIA Authentication uses the membership provider, and now the web.config is greatly simplified.

The default membership stuff is not in there anymore.

 

If you are using the SqlMembershipProvider don't forget to add the provider configuration in your web.config.

After you run aspnet_regsql of courseJ

<providers>

<add name="PracticeModelUsers" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" applicationName="PracticeManager" connectionStringName="PracticeModel" />

</providers>

</roleManager>

<membership defaultProvider="PracticeManagerUserProvider">

<providers>

<add name="PracticeManagerUserProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" applicationName="PracticeManager" connectionStringName="PracticeModel" enablePasswordReset="false" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" passwordFormat="Clear" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" />
