I have quickly read (and will read with more care soon) the article of Scott Allen concerning the possibility to use an other provider of the default SQL Express or SQL Server database to use the ‘Membership and Role Providers‘ for ASP.NET.
We will soon need to open a part of our project to some client via the web and I thought about using the ‘Membership and Role Providers‘ but our database is PostGreSql.
Does any one have some experience with ‘Membership and Role Providers and an other database type (not SQL Server)? Is it worth it or it’s a pain?
I gave it a go on MySQL and found it to be impossible. That could be attributed to my relatively low skill, and the fact that I did it about 5 months after 2.0 release. Is it too much to write your own simple security system?
