Using an MCMS Membership Provider

Now that we have created our MCMS Membership Provider, we need to register it with our Tropical Green MCMS application.

1. 1. Right-click the TropicalGreen website and click Add Reference…

2. 2. In the Add Reference dialog, click the Projects tab.

3. 3. Click MCMSMembershipProviders and OK.

4. 4. Open the web.config file.

5. 5. Add the following section directly below the existing<authentication /> tag:

   <membership defaultProvider="McmsWindowsMembershipProvider"
   userIsOnlineTimeWindow="30">
   <providers>
   <add name="McmsWindowsMembershipProvider"
   type="TropicalGreen.MCMSMembershipProviders.
   McmsWindowsMembershipProvider"
   applicationName="/"/>
   </providers>
   </membership>
   

   Note

   Note that the type attribute of the<add> element needs to be entered on one line with no spaces or line breaks. The formatting above is for printing purposes only.

6. 6. Modify the authentication section to use Forms Authentication:

<authentication mode="Forms">...
