Hi Ligia

The member API was updated with the release of Umbraco 6.2, which is probably why the above method is obsolete now.

But you should be able to use the new API here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/MemberService

Hope this helps.

Hi Jan, 

Thank you very much for you response, I also tried the memberservice but without luck. I succeded to do the authentication using a different method.  For those who have the same problem as me, please see the below solution:

1. Take the password of the member identified by email adrdress ( var attemptLogin = Member.GetMemberFromEmail(model.EmailAddress).GetPassword();)

2. Hash the password  using the class (this class is used to encrypt the password in umbraco membership provider )

HMACSHA1 hash = new HMACSHA1();      

hash.Key = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(password);

string encodedPassword = Convert.ToBase64String(hash.ComputeHash(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(password)));

3. Compare the two passwords 

Hi Liqia,

this is a simpler way to do this:

MembershipHelper Members = new MembershipHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);

if(Members.Login(username, password))
{
    // do anything
}

Hi Sören,

Thank you very much for you answer. Sorry but in my case didn't work(I'm on version 6.2.4). Please can you specify the version you've used something similar?

Many thanks, 

Ligia

Hi Liqia,

I use this in 7.1.7 and it works.
