Unable to login using Custom login form

Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 7
I have the site up and running and I'm able login to the Dashboard using the standard interface.

However, when I use a custom surface controller for the client-side to login (using the same username and p/w) - the following code(s) always return false:
```
Membership.Provider.ValidateUser(model.Username, model.Password)
```
as does
```
Members.Login(model.Username, model.Password)
```
Even creating a new user through the Dashboard gives the same false value!

The values in Table umbracoUser are:
```
id=0;
userDisabled=0;
userNoConsole=0;
userType=1;
failedLoginAttempts=null;
```
Also checked the logs and this is what I'm getting

Am I using the correct methods?...

You're trying to log in a Member.. while you're putting in the credentials of an Umbraco Backoffice User.

I'd need to look up how to log in a User exactly, but are you sure that's what you want? The same User that you're trying to log in can go to /umbraco and do whatever you allowed them to do.

There are two types of authentications:

Users = Are users in backoffice (administrator etc.) Table: umbracoUser.

Members = Are members/user on the site Table: umbracoMember

https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Getting-Started/Data/Members/

Membership.Provider.ValidateUser and Members.Login does only validate members =)

Thanks guys!!

I thought that may have been the case - so I've now created a Client Register form which will create a new member!

Not sure if anything has changed recently as I've only used the latest version but I have the following tables:

UmbracoUser (Populated)
cmsMember (empty) suspect this is the problem

BTW - I done something which I think is pretty cool with Templates and Properties - is there anywhere I can show what I've done and see if it really is cool?...

(I've created one doc type and one template - and its used to call multiple surface controller methods)

Damn!!!

I can see the table cmsMember is now populated and the following returns a value:
```
    var member = Membership.GetUser(model.Username);
```
However the following is ALWAYS false so never logs in!
```
    if (Membership.ValidateUser(model.Username, model.Password))
```
Do I need to encode the password or will the method automatically do it?

How are you creating members?

Make sure to use the MemberService: https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Management/Services/MemberService

Examples are available in snippets when you create new partial views in the backoffice.

Yes, the code is still C#, it's just an example.. :-) Use it in your controllers!
