I am a bit confused on integrating ASP.NET Membership into Umbraco. I have 4.0.2.1 installed and all of the tutorials I have read on the internet are sketchy at best. What little documentation I have found on the subject has been on version 3 and I understand the implementation of membership changed in version 4. I do not see any books or videos detailing Membership in 4.0.2.1 unless I am mistaken.
Is there seriously no documentation other than the straight API listing? (which isn't working by the way. - http://umbraco.org/apiDocs/Index.aspx open and click on a topic.)
Take this as an example of what I am doing:
I would like to create a website for many bloggers. I want them to be able to come and register, at which time I will programmatically create a subdomain like "newuser.blogblogblog.com" for them to blog and post photographs at.
Would I use Umbraco's API to add the users or implement ASP.NET's Membership calls to add them?
Download the source code for umbraco and you will get a lot of help from that. I know that is not a document with at list of what to do, but its the best reference to read.
If you are just looking to make use of the normal .NET membership things just use the membership class's as normal and umbraco gives you the right data.
Umbraco has a Member class, you will use to change lets say his Address property if it has that property.

Documentation is always a bit sparse... have you read the wiki and books sections?

I'd use the Umbraco API for the creation and editing of users.

You may find this a good starting point for setting up membership in Umbraco:
