    How do I login a Member from CodeBehind in a Base class?

    Hello all,
    How would I login in a Member from a Base Class?

    What do I need to do?

    • Set a cookie?
    • Use some umbraco API to do this?
    • Or some form of asp.net membership provider stuff?

    Appreciate your help

    Thanks,
    Warren

    The standard ASP.NET Membership stuff should work, provided that you're invoking a method in base which is on the same domain.

    Warren, when you say Base, do you mean /Base (REST)?  (As opposed to an inherited "base" class in .NET)

    There are a set of member library methods for /Base, take a look at:

    umbraco.presentation.umbracobase.library.member.login( loginname, password )

    That will add the member to the cache (cookie/session).  As Aaron mentions, this set a cookie for the domain that /Base is on, so if you are calling it from a different domain, it wont work.

    Good luck, Lee.

    Thanks Lee, Aaron and Kenny for all your ideas.

    Quick chat with Lee on this on MSN and the quick easy win is to use the API method

    umbraco.presentation.umbracobase.library.member.login( loginname, password )

    However the proper way would be better to use ASP.NET membership provider stuff, just in case the membership provider changes in the future.

    Warren
