I have an existing site with simple authentication (through a database) and I want to change it to asp.net membership.<br />
<br />
My exisiting login calls a stored procedure that returns the user id and other relevant details if user and password matches. I then store those to the session and each of my &quot;secured&quot; pages checks for the session variables to determine if they are an authenticated user.<br />
<br />
Please note that the passwords currently are NOT encrypted.<br />

There could be lots of solutions here so it would be better if there's a brief explanation of why I should do it your way.

What is the easiest way to migrate existing login to asp.net membership?

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. Most common web application frameworks are defined by specific subsets, including ASP.NET, JaveEE, Symfony, ColdFusion Language (CFML), Laravel, jQuery and AngularJS, or for the related languages, including .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C++ and C.
