I’m working on a web login application using forms authentication and role authentication.

I’m not so familiar with the role authentication , I’ve searched in google for some tutorials but I couldn’t understand.

So ,

  • 1.For creating an user with a certain role everything must be done here:

http://i1.asp.net/asp.net/images/pss/module08_06.jpg ( but , I want to store users info and roles in the asp.net sql database )

What I thought so far is to create a database with the followings table columns:

1.ID(int,primary)
2.Username(varchar(10))
3.Password(varchar(10))
4.RoleType(varchar(10)) - Roles are : Admin / User

On login , check if the user&pass are valid if yes then select the roletype from the database for the current user . 

If roletype = Admin 
   Redirect to a certain page
else if roletype = user
   Redirect to other page

But I don’t think asp.net web page knows that the column RoleType is used for roles and it doesn’t make sense , I mean there’s no conection between <allow users="Admin"/> and my column for called RoleType

<location path="\Admin\">
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <allow users="Admin"/> //this 
            <deny users="*"/>
        </authorization>

So , if anyone wouldn’t mind helping me , I would really appreciate.
Thanks

    ASP.NET Comes with a builtin tool for creating a User (Membership) and Roles Database which has all the correct schemas you will need.

    I’d strongly suggest you start there, instaed of attempting to roll your own.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x28wfk74.aspx

    Once you’ve done that, it’s trivial to use the built in user/role management screens & the built in SqlMembershipProvider & SqlRoleProvider

    Edit

    After a quick google, ASP.NET seems to have a very good and detailed tutorial on asp.net membership & roles security

    http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/security

    You’ll want to read that entire section on Membership, Roles & Admin.
