Convert BlogEngine to use Asp.NET Membership Provider

January 4, 2008 01:08 by jwendl

This BlogEngine instance uses the Asp.NET Membership Provider, and it was actually quite easy to convert. Big kudos to the team who has worked on this Blog software.

Comment out this code inside Web.config

Replace it with this code

Then you have to install the ASP.NET Membership SQL Registration program. Best described at this URL http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/040506-1.aspx

This was almost all you need to do to finish the conversion. The problem is that you need to now setup a default user of some sort. This can be easy, or hard depending on how the WSAT installed your instance. Please read up on ASP.NET membership before you attempt to convert over. I had to manually set the roles up on the proper application and user inside the aspnet_UsersInRoles table. After that, login with the default user and everything works just fine.

The reason why this works is because the XmlMembershipProvider class inherits the MembershipProvider class that ASP.NET provides. This means that all of the functions that BlogEngine uses for authentication are extensible to any custom membership provider that you can dream of.

Plain text can be downloaded from the attachment.

Scot,

It appears that one of two things aren't working out in yours environment. Maybe you can try to re-run the aspnet_regsql.exe file again to get the permissions setup properly, but if that doesn't work it might be because of the username setup for the database tables.

What do you use for your NETWORK_SERVICE user account? If it's left at the default of NETWORK_SERVICE or IUSR_<MACHINE NAME> then you might have to give it permissions to that table.

-- Add user to database role
USE aspnetdb
GO
sp_addrolemember 'aspnet_Membership_FullAccess', '<User Name>'

Unfortunately the ASPNET Membership stuff uses EXECUTE statements when you login or create a user. So you might have to play around with permissions a little bit on the user that has access to the database.

Ah - that´s a nice idea. Didn´t expect it to be this easy.
