asked on
ASP.NET and user roles and passwords
Greetings
I am about to enter the "murkey" world of roles/users/logging in and want to start off on the right foot.
As I understand it, I use the ASP.NET Configuration tool to creatre/modify my users.
My questions:
(1) Once I have deployed my application, how does the customer manage users? Do I have to deploy
additional tools? Is it done automatically?
(2) How does a user change his/her password? Is it possible to do this from within the application (via a
"User Change Details" page) ?? How do I access that user data?
In advance, many thanks!

Thanks!! - Have had a brief squiz at the above - some serious weekend reading oming up.
I still am unsure on the following:
1, How to provide the user management - add.change/delete users, user changing his password - to
my customer. Obviously I don't want him having the ASP.Net configuartion tool or fo I ??)
2. Where in SQL Server does it store the membership details?

directory and then modified:
1) replace <%@ MasterType virtualPath="~/WebAdminWit
2) replace calls to CallWebAdminHelper...() with Membership and Roles API calls
3) replace <%$ Resources: with your custom strings (they can probably just be hard coded
For users managing themselfs (ie recovering/changing passwords) you will have to write your own pages with the help of <asp:PasswordRecovery> controls just as Dhaest's link describes
