Hi, during development,I used the ASP.net configuration tool to create my special-roleusers and passwords. However, now that my website is published,the same procedure seems to be adding the user to my local machine, but not the published version. Of course a user can create an account using the application, but they are in the general role then. Any advice?
The ASP.NET configuration tool is designed to work locally only. See http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10413 for more details. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
You know, oddly, after I posted my question, I went back and tried again later. The user acct. that I had created on my local machine,usingvisual studio, was at that point active on the published website. I don't know how, but it was and still is. The application web config file does point to the published dbase, so, that's what happened in my case at least.
