Note:I originally posted this in the bugs forum, but it now looks like that's only for forums bugs. So I'm trying again.
We are planning on using Umbraco as the CMS for our county
government web site since we've been very impressed with it. We want to
use Active Directory integration in the back office for the convenience
factor, but we have multiple domains. So I wrote a custom membership
provider that takes in a username in "domain\username" format.
Umbraco doesn't like this, and I'm guessing it has to do with the
slash in the username. It appears to authenticate the user, but then
crashes. Here's the error message and stack trace:
Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Has anyone dealt with anything like this (multiple AD domains)? Which characters are acceptable in an Umbraco username?
I thought I'd give a quick update on where I am on researching this:
It looks like this problem really doesn't have anything to do with the slashes, etc. When I used the standard Umbraco membership provider it handles special characters (\, -, etc) just fine.
So I downloaded the Umbraco source code and took a look at where the exception was being thrown. It seems that when a user is created, the umbracoUser2app table is supposed to be populated with a content permissions row for that user. This works like it's supposed to when you use the standard ADMembershipProvider that comes with .NET.
But, it appears that this isn't happening with my custom provider. When I create the row ahead of time and make an entry in the user to app table, everything works just fine.
Any clues as to why this is happening with my provider and not the standard one? The only provider method that is being called is ValidateUser.

Still no love for this question? That's a bit disheartening.
Well, I'll at least cap it off by putting in a link to my bug report on CodePlex:
