Could you post your web.config stuff about membership please?

       <authentication mode="Forms">
           <forms name="yourAuthCookie" loginUrl="medlemslogin.aspx" protection="All" path="/"/>

     </authentication>
       <authorization>
         <allow users="?"/>
      </authorization>
        <!-- Membership Provider -->
        <membership defaultProvider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
            <providers>
             <clear/>
                <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type" passwordFormat="Hashed"/>
      
                                <add name="UsersMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.UsersMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" passwordFormat="Hashed"/>
          </providers>
        </membership>
       <!-- added by NH to support membership providers in access layer -->
        <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="UmbracoRoleProvider">
          <providers>
             <clear/>
                <add name="UmbracoRoleProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoRoleProvider"/>
          </providers>
        </roleManager>

This should be the essentials, hope it says something. (I do acctualy have a member typ with the alias "Another Type".)

I've played around with this code but I don't think I need it:

<add name="AspNetSqlMemberShipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" />

and this is changed:

<forms name="yourAuthCookie" loginUrl="medlemslogin.aspx" protection="All" path="/"/>

Thank you for taking your time!

Some extra questions that might help:

What do you mean exactly with "there is no indication that the login worked"?

What exactly happens after you press the button on the login form?

Have you placed a LoginStatus or LoginName control on a page to verify the login?

What happens when you enter incorrect credentials on the login form?

This is what I got in my template  

<form runat="server">
<asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server" DestinationPageurl="/medlemslogin"/>
<asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" LoginText="Login" LogoutText="Logout" LogoutAction="Redirect" runat="server" />
</form>

I get the standard error message when trying wrong user info. And when I have the correct ones the page refreshes but the login status doesn't change.

Yeah I've seen the blog. I've no interest in using the sign up function, but i followed the instructions and tried both with and without sign up and i get the same result of not being able to login. Is it possible that there are some changes in umbraco 4.5 that's not collaborating with this asp.net control?

I don't think so, i used Mortens method on a Umbraco 4.5.2 installation and it worked fine.

Now I have tried Mortens method on another site, but still get the same result. this doesn't run:

    <LoggedInTemplate>
        Welcome
        <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName1" runat="server" />
        <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="server" />
    </LoggedInTemplate>

Is it possible for me to see some of your code?

Thank you for replying btw!

Hi again, 

Here is a simple version of my implementation, which works on my site: 

<form runat="server">

    <asp:LoginView ID="UmbracoLoginView" runat="server">

        <AnonymousTemplate>            

            <asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server"></asp:Login>

        </AnonymousTemplate>

        <LoggedInTemplate>

            <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="server" />

        </LoggedInTemplate>

    </asp:LoginView>  

</form>

Hi Max

Just for the record...

1. Have you created a member in the member section?
2. Have you set up a protected page in umbraco with the desired login flow?

/Jan

Hi Thor,
just tried your code and I seem to get the same result, that the LoginStatus doesn't show. Thank you for posting tho code though. Can ask for another favor? Is it possible to see your web.config? that would help me alot!

Hi Jan,
Glad that you joined in :). Yes I've correct member setup, I did create a sign up control which worked. The sign in control detects the correct login info, but if I have DestinationPageurl set to a protected page i get this error.

 Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace 
  for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Does it matter what template contains the control?

Hi Max

Here is the portion of my web.config where i have added the umbraco membership provider:

<configuration>  
    <system.web>             
        <membership defaultProvider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
            <providers>
                <clear />
                <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" 
                     type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" 
                     enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" 
                     requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="WebsiteUser" 
                     passwordFormat="Hashed" />
                <add name="UsersMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.UsersMembershipProvider" 
                     enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" 
                     requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" />
            </providers>
        </membership>
        <!-- added by NH to support membership providers in access layer -->
        <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="UmbracoRoleProvider">
            <providers>
                <clear />
                <add name="UmbracoRoleProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoRoleProvider" />
            </providers>
        </roleManager>
        <!-- Sitemap provider-->     
    </system.web>   
</configuration>

Hmm...

I have not played aroun with the settings in the web.config when I have been using the asp:login control...

I have just placed my user control on a specific login template and then setup the public access on the specific node tree in my content section that needs to be restricted.

/Jan

As far as i know you're absolutely right Jan, i added the membership provider to let umbraco know which member type to use when creating new members. 

I realize that the control shouldn't cause all this problem. All the code checks out, there's something else that's wrong. Can I just get conformation that we run the same framework and versions... Can you find these three lines in your config?:

<pages enableEventValidation="false" validateRequest="false" controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID">

<compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="false" batch="false" targetFramework="4.0">

<add assembly="System.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A" />

I will probably have to postpone this project till after the holidays. Sometime you have to realize when you are beaten...

Thank you so much Thor for posting the code. And both of you for trying to help me out, means a lot!

Hi Max

Unfortunately I can't check the my solution from this machine I'm sitting on right now. But will make a check later this evening. But as far as I can see and remember it looks right.

I'm thinking it might is a permission issue? What permissions have you given the network service and iusr? (It's a long shot).

/Jan

Hi Max, 

The lines you are posting look exactly the same in my web.config, so those linies should'nt be the problem. 
As Jan says it could be worth a try to tjek your permission settings. 

/Thor 

All I wanted to add to this thread is a thx to the guys engaged in my problem. Aaaand that I had to upgrade my Umbraco version to 4.7.

is working on a reply...
