Is it possible to have a custom membership provider such as Active Directory to access the admin section and for it to also support a backup membership provider i.e.
If the User doesn't exist in Active Directory then check for the same user in the default Umbraco membership provider.
I hope this make sense, I've seen this done before in other .Net CMS but not sure if you can do this in Umbraco.
Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a go. I saw something similar to this in another CMS - Episerver, basically they have what they call a MultiPlexing Membership provider whereby you can specify your primary provider and a secondary provider and then depending on where your account was it would authenticate.
Hopefully the same principal can be applied to Umbraco.
Backup Membership Providers

Currently doing something similar. Here is a project that may assist you on finding how to achieve that.

Good luck!
