Question

I’m using asp.net mvc 3, My problem is I need to use the customized users login table instead of using the my_aspnet_users auto generated. How can i point the Membership and role authentication to use the users login table I created. I’ve found this blog Customized Membership and Role Provider. but this is for customized membership and role authentication. i just need to point the provider to use the table i created. Is there any other way to do this?

The out-of-the-box SqlMembershipProvider really doesn’t work like that. It is designed to look for very specific stored procedures, and the schema that goes with it. You can’t really “plug” another schema into it and expect it to work.

That being said, implementing a custom membership provider really isn’t all that daunting a task. I’ve done it numerous times, and you needn’t implement everything.

The MSDN docs are a good place to start, and will walk you through what is required.
