How to create a connection string which points to Azure Active Directory in Web.Config?

Hello Dan Lister,

I have use your "Active Directory Providers" on my project. When I go to the line of "create connection string which points to Azure Active Directory", I don't know how to create a connection string myself.

Here are the information I got from Azure Active Directory:

ClientId: a92a056f-????-????-????-3a86545656e2

Domain: somedomain.onmicrosoft.com

My account to log into portal.azure.com:

Username: [email protected]
Pass: xxxxxxxxx

What should I put in connectionUsername, connectionPassword, and connectionstring?

Example:

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyMembershipConnectionString" connectionString="LDAP://somedomain.onmicrosoft.com/[email protected],OU=somedomain,DC=somedomain,DC=onmicrosoft,DC=com" />
  </connectionStrings>

<add name="MyMembersMembershipProvider" 
           type="RB.ActiveDirectoryProviders.ActiveDirectoryUmbracoMembersMembershipProvider, RB.ActiveDirectoryProviders" 
           connectionStringName="MyMembershipConnectionString" 
           connectionUsername="[email protected]" 
           connectionPassword="xxxxxxxx" 
           attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName" 
           defaultMemberType="MemberType" />

When I run my website, it generate an error: Parser Error Message: Unable to establish secure connection with the server

So that my sample connection string is not correct. Do you have any suggestion?

Regards, Dung Tri

You can encrypt the connectionstring section of a web.config file by using aspnetregiis.exe command line tool, so it is never stored as plain text. This file is located in the %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\versionNumber folder and you can use with -pef option. Consider you have an application named as MyWebApp. You can encrypt the connectionStrings section of the Web.config file by using aspnetregiis.exe as follows :
```
aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "connectionStrings" "/MyWebApp"
```
