This tool is supposed to configure users and roles etc., but when I use it on a new web site, with a new aspnetdb database, it adds a record to the aspnet_Applications table with the ApplicationName and the LoweredApplicationName fields set to /. I think it would make more sense if it actually used the application name, i.e. the web site name. Can I safely just change the application name? Is there a better way of configuring these things?

    If you do change the app name in the database – you need to update your web.config file also to reflect the change.

    Everywhere you see something like:

    <add name="MySqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="SiteDB" applicationName="/" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"/>

    your need to update the applicationName attribute: applicationName=”/” with applicationName=”your app name”
