    I'm having some difficult with adding users to a site using Forms Authentication I've created a webapplication the setup FBA as per instructions. That part works fine. I've been able to add one admin user via policies and they can access the site with no problem. However, I can't add any more users. The users have been created successfully in the database but when I try searching for them in the PeoplePicker they can't be found. This server was setup to use Active Directory user creation and users in AD can be resolved. Also, the FBA admin account can be resolved. I have another test box that does not use AD account creation and everything works fine. Anyone have a clue as to how I can get the names to resolve so they can be added to the site?

      Could you try opening your sharepoint site in Visual Studio as a web site and Click on Tools. You will see an option called ASP.NET WEB Configuration Tool if I am not wrong. Click on that . Here you will be able to add FBA users to your MOSS site Regards AKhila

        Please read the original post more carefully. Adding users IS NOT the problem.

          <PeoplePickerWildcards> <clear /> <add key="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" value="%" /> <add key="YourFBAmemberName" value="%" /> </PeoplePickerWildcards> Modified the "PeoplePickerWildcards" element in your site's web.config file.And test peoplepicker again. If it doesn't work, clear all cookies and restart your browser. Test it again. I hope that can help u. ^.^ axiomkid
