Hi for some reason I am having problems with creating a password for a member. I am programmatically creating a member however the password that gets entered does not work. I can change the password via the back office, and works fine. Additionally I have a forgotten password form which also works. I am a bit confused because all of these use the asp.net Membership to create things.

My provider in the web.config is

<add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Basic" umbracoLockPropertyTypeAlias="isLocked" passwordFormat="Hashed" />

I have some code which creates the member I have triple checked to make sure the correct password is coming through here (and it is) 

MembershipCreateStatus status = new MembershipCreateStatus();
Membership.CreateUser(entity.Email, entity.Password, entity.Email, null, null, false, out status);

On login I am using the standard validate function

Membership.ValidateUser(email, password)

The reset password is straight forward as well

MembershipUser mem = Membership.GetUser(email, false);
newPassword = mem.ResetPassword();

What is additionally strange is that my create member method then goes and connect to the built in Umbraco web service API for members and I can successfully get the memberCarrier for the just created member.

memberServiceSoapClient _memberService = new memberServiceSoapClient();
memberCarrier _memberCarrier = _memberService.readByLogin(entity.Email, entity.Password, UmbUsername, UmbPassword);

I have taken a look in the database and when i update the password it does change the hashed password stored in the database (even though i am using the same password)

So from what I can see the hashed password seems to be different, I just don’t understand why as all should be using the same underlying asp.net membership

Has anyone else experienced this? or something similar, any help you be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

PS this is running on Umbraco 4.11.3, IIS7.5, Windows 2008R2 and MSSQL2008R2 with asp.net 4
