OK,
I have a clearer way of asking now.
In what way, if any, can/does the 'membership db' play friendly with another SQL db.. or can I wire up the 'login control' to use a SQL DB to validate/get perm info?...
I believe the aspnetdb inside the actual site in app_code or somewhere is the 'membership db, correct?
Whereas I wish to use all info pertaining to logins/perms from fields in an actual SQL DB since my web app is using a huge DB for a factory floor's production management.
How do I authenticate this way? Also, I would like it to be in a master page, and upon login, redirect to another directory say, '/Members' which is locked out from anonymous browsing.
I previously had the following code:
web.config :
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Default.aspx" timeout="50000000" protection="All" name=". ...
Go to the complete details ...
