How to add sql membership in Asp.Net mvc project
Steps to follow
- Create membership db
- Add configuration in web.config
- Add membership users & roles
1. Create membership db
We are going to create membership tables in our database using command line tool.
First of all open command prompt.
Navigate to directory %WINDOWS%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ in your local file system.
Now lets run command -
aspnet_regsql.exe -S <server> -U <login id> -P <password> -d <database> -A all
Add database credentials like: database server, username and password & database name.
aspnet_regsql.exe -S .\SqlExpress -U sa -P ****** -d testDB -A all
The -A all installs all membership features to install specific like membership and roles use -A mr for most common cases.
command parameters include -
m - membership
p - profile
r - roles
all - include all above features
This will install db schema for membership & roles.
aspnet_regsql.exe -S .\SqlExpress -U sa -P ****** -d testDB -A mr.
2. Add configuration in web.config
Necessary part is to add configuration settings in web.config.
So lets open web.config file and add defaultconnection in connection string.
<connectionStrings> <add name="DefaultConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=dbName;Integrated Security=False;User ID=sa;Password=*****" /></connectionStrings>
Now add profile, membership & roles.
<profile defaultProvider="SqlProfileProvider" enabled="true"> <providers> <clear/> <add name="SqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" applicationName="App v1.0" /> </providers> </profile> <membership defaultProvider="SqlMembershipProvider"> <providers> <clear/> <add name="SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" applicationName="App v1.0" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" /> </providers> </membership> <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="SqlRoleProvider"> <providers> <clear/> <add connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" applicationName="App v1.0" name="SqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" /> </providers> </roleManager>
3. Add membership users & roles
After we have added asp.net membership configuration select project in Visual studio solution explorer.
We can go to project menu and select Asp.Net Configuration – This will open Web Administration tool in Web browser.
Which will give you a panel to create user roles and login.
