Loving Umbraco! So I am going to use it for all 'front-end' content on a site so it's easily cms-driven and such. The 'back-end' of the site will be based on membership access. So I have options:
keep them separate and build my own membership pieces for backend and everything looks together but really isn't, or
find existing membership solution that supports registration, captcha, email verification, profile support, use that, then build my backend functionality all as user controls that exist inside of umbraco-managed pages, or
build umbraco membership module(s) myself
#1 I could do fairly quickly - just build a customer membership provider, but no umbraco integration :(
#2 I see a few things going on but not sure how far along they are :(
#3 just got started with umbraco so may take more time than expected to do it right :(
That's a log of sad faces! What are others doing for membership systems?
I am currently integrating the osMemberControls package into a project.
It's not complete yet, but what is there works well and and it's easy enough to add on the extra things you may need. e.g. it doesn't have a login control yet but you just drop the .NET login control onto a user control and it all works.
I intend writing a blog/wiki post during the week on how I have implemented it.
Fairly Complete Membership Package Available, or Take Different Approach?

I'll go check it out. Thx!
This blog post explains how to do a simple membership:

It is really helpful.
Hi Kevin,
I have added my method for implementing to the wiki. Check it out and please update with any suggestions.
