User management
-
We have many custom asp.net applications which need user management (login, authentication, lost password, add or delete users, update profile etc.), logging (actions, search logs, connection problems etc.), content approval and content upload. Each application is duplicating the above functionality and I want to get rid of the duplicated effort. My question is: Can I create 1 custom asp.net application which will use the WSS at the back end to handle most of the above? So basically I will create a web user interface and use the sharepoint sdk and database to do the aforementioned. Or do you have some other suggestion? CodingYoshi Artificial Intelligence is no match for Human Stupidity.

Technically you can do this because - 1. SharePoint is compatible with the ASP.NET MembershipProvider, which is where *most* of the user functionality you seek lies. 2. SharePoint has lists and document libraries which you could leverage for the content functionality you mentioned. Do take note of some of the strengths and weaknesses of sharepoint though - even if you plan to use the "free" version.
