    Is there a way to create custom umbraco USER provider?

    I would like to check login credentials to umbraco backend against different datasource than umbracoUser table.

    Is it possible to do in any version of umbraco?

    This is possible in 4.0.x and in 4.5.x versions.

    However it is limited to performing the authentication part against another system. The Users still need to be created in umbraco.

    What you do is implement an asp.net membershipprovider and add it in the web.config file. And then you can supply that membershipprovider in the /config/umbracoSetting.config file near the bottom.

    Thanks Morten, that works great for me!

    A note to others who might need this functionality:

    I just implemented one method from abstract MembershipProvider:

    MembershipProvider.ValidateUser(string username, string password)

    so inside, I checked if such User exist in custom datasource.

    As Morten noted, User has to exist in Umbraco and the username value has to match with Umbraco user's Login field value.

    Umbraco does everything else ;)
