Hello Guys!

I have a C # Windows Forms application that I want to be authenticated with a Umbraco backoffice user.

I'm creating an UmbracoApiController for this, however, I can not succeed since ValidateUser always returns 'False'

        MembershipUser user;
        if (Membership.ValidateUser(username, password))
        {
            user = Membership.GetUser(username);                   
        }

In this case, Membership comes from 'System.Web.Security;'

I have also tried with no success (for the same reason as above, ie ValidateUser always returns 'False'.

Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider mp = new Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider();

The username and password parameters are in plain text and I'm using Umbraco 7.5.1

How can I solve this?

Best regards, Gustavo
