How to configure MembershipProvider in asp.net?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23244754

Question

I added a create user and login control wizard to my asp website and attached the database from a previously working solution. But when I try to login with a successfully created user I can't login.

My question is am I missing a step in configuring the login control? I know that it uses the default membership provider but do I need to configure it to recognise the database?

This is the login control declaration:

<asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server" DestinationPageUrl="Home.aspx" FailureAction="RedirectToLoginPage" Height="161px" Width="450px" OnAuthenticate="Login1_Authenticate1" BackColor="#EFF3FB" BorderColor="#B5C7DE" BorderPadding="4" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="0.8em" ForeColor="#333333">
        <InstructionTextStyle Font-Italic="True" ForeColor="Black" />
        <LoginButtonStyle BackColor="White" BorderColor="#507CD1" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="0.8em" ForeColor="#284E98" />
        <TextBoxStyle Font-Size="0.8em" />
        <TitleTextStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="0.9em" ForeColor="White" />
    </asp:Login>

And the web.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

  </system.web>
</configuration>

Solution

It sounds like the connectionString to the Membership database is working, but you may be providing an invalid username or password. You can debug this further by implementing the OnAuthenticate Event:

You might also consider just creating a new User and test logging in with the new username and password vai the Membership.CreateUser method:
