I have a websites in which i created users with editing rights, but no access to the backend (to avoid confusing them with the backend interface). For now, they nevertheless need to go through the backend login page if they want to be logged in and edit their content.
I was wondering if there was any login control for backend users? I found one for members but none for users.
If there is no such control, can i achieve this with a standard login .Net control, or do I need to use the Umbraco libraries?
I am not sure I understand completeky what you want to achieve, but as far as your question about the login control for backend users is concerned, I think you can use the standard .Net login control. You will probably just need to specify explicitely the membership provider to use, so that it uses the "Backend Users" Membership Provider and not the default "Site Members" Membership Provider (just check the name in your web.config membership providers definition). If you do so, normally you should be able to login backend users via the control.
this is the answer i was looking for. I will try that and let you know how it goes.
What I'm trying to do is having a "login" control im my website, so users won't have to go to "http://mywebsite/umbraco/login.aspx" in order to log. Seems more convenient that they don't have to memorize this url whennever they need to log.
Backend Login control?
