In dev environment I am using the ASP.NET configuration tool in Visual Studio to create a few users for testing. As I movel closer to QA and Production, I’m wondering what is the best way for me to automate the creation of a large amount (1000’s) of users after application deployment.
I have a csv with all the usernames and passwords, roles etc. and I wan’t to avail of the encryption and password salting security that is built in. I do not want to manually “Register” all these users.
I’m just not sure if this is something I can do (or instruct a db admin to perform for me).
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
The simplest solution would be to set up a “CSV Upload” form. The CSV would be processed by an MVC action calling
Membership.CreateUserin a loop.Probably, the performance of this will be good enough.
