Hi all
I have an existing web application which uses Windows Authentication. The application uses a well-developed business layer which accesses its database through a sort of database utility class called DatabaseManager.
I am now to create a related application for the outside world which will use Forms Authentication.
I've never used Forms Authentication before and I have the following goals:
To continue to use the business layer and database utility class used by the other app (I'm simply going to import the dll)To use as much of the out-of-the-box security functionality of ASP.NET as possible (e.g. the controls, Membership and Roles APIs)Effectively, I want to use the higher-level components of ASP.NET's security functionality, but use my own database structure for holding user information and ensure that all communication with the database is routed through the business layer I've already created.
Can any ...
Go to the complete details ...
