Hi, I'm designing a new site and would like to use a customized membership provider. In my research notice that, by default, it appears that you have to make a change to machine.config to permit this. also - I believe that you need to do it for Authentication as well. Code: <section name="membership" type="System.Web.Configuration.MembershipSection, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" [COLOR="Red"]allowDefinition="Everywhere"[/COLOR]/> <section name="authentication" type="System.Web.Configuration.AuthenticationSection, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" [COLOR="Red"]allowDefinition="Everywhere"[/COLOR]/> Because I assume that it is not possible to modify machine.config with Winhost, is it possible to use a custom provider? Does anyone else do it? For the record (if it makes any difference) the app will be in Framework 4 using MVC 3. Thanks very much in advance Z
It should be. Simply upload the provider to your applications Bin folder and have your web.config point to it. The default provider will be overridden by your web.config file.
