I would like to use the built-in membership / authentication system that is included by default in Visual Studio when creating a new asp.net web application.
My question is I have a user table… UserID, FirstName, LastName, etc. with company info that I want to use. How do I go about linking this table to the new registration I created?
Suppose I created a new registration. Now where is the login and password data being stored?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
This tutorial can be very helpful at the beginning: Creating the Membership Schema in SQL Server.
If you have basically only user profile information in your existing company database, may be you’ll need to consider creating a custom Profile Provider. Be aware that doing it while using the Web Application Project has its perculiarities.
If you have also other information in your database linked to user by foreing keys, may be you’ll be interested in this discussion on how to use it with Membership.
