Confusion over Web Site Administration Tool
-
So I used the ASP.net Web Site Administration Tool to configure roles based forms authentication, a user, and a couple of access rules... I can not configure the Provider as only one appears (AspNetSqlProvider) and its only option is test (which is successful). What I really need is for it store this information in a SQL Server 2000 db or Access db as we don't have a production (or testing for that matter), SQL Server 2005 server set up. Thanks in advance.

Using your own database and authenticating the user yourself via the database is quite simple. There are many articles on doing the User administration yourself. It is not really that difficult, most of the work is done for you. Try the following articles: Forms Authentication in ASP.net Forms Authentication With Roles These are just some examples, there are many others. Just search: "Forms Authentication in ASP.net" in google ;)
