Can't create passwords

Dec 11, 2008 01:38 AM|LINK

I cannot create a user account on the registration page anymore!

I also cannot change the Admin password. Anything to do with creating a password, I keep getting the pop up box (an internet explorer window) that tells me 5 characters are required.

And just so you know I'm not nuts, I've tried: "Cat5!" ; "Catmm5$" ; "Bunny12$" ; and many many others, all clearly with the required characters! No matter what I try, as soon as I go to move to the second box where you re type that password, the red * immediately appears next to the first box and I know its not going to let me create it.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Hi,

Are you using any membership provider?

Try the password conditions specified in it.

Yes. This is part of the web.config file from the beerhouse project:

<membership defaultProvider="TBH_MembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
<providers>

<add name="TBH_MembershipProvider" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" applicationName="/" enablePasswordRetrieval="true" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" requiresUniqueEmail="true" passwordFormat="Encrypted" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" passwordAttemptWindow="10" minRequiredPasswordLength="5" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>

</providers>
</membership>

I'm using 5 alphanumeric digits. I'm doing that part correct.

I don't think this has anything to do with the Membership Provider. The fact that you're getting the red * from the client-side indicates this is an issue with the RegularExpressionValidator for the Password field in the page.

Could you post the page code and let us see that?

I was looking at this: http://forums.asp.net/t/937000.aspx

I'm not sure if this is what you wanted. This is from the Registration.aspx page:

                        ErrorMessage="Password is required." ToolTip="Password is required." ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard1">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                     <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="valPasswordLength" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password" SetFocusOnError="true" Display="Dynamic"
                        ValidationExpression="\w{5,}" ErrorMessage="Password must be at least 5 characters long." ToolTip="Password must be at least 5 characters long."
                        ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard1">*</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

At that part, I changed it to say "Password must be at least 15 characters long" and it did say that. Could this be a problem coming from the windows Net folder like that other poster was talking about at: http://forums.asp.net/t/937000.aspx ? I just don't understand why I would be the only one having this problem. Everyone is downloading the same code. And it used to work for me too. Its like something got messed up somewhere else. I even uninstalled and then reinstalled VS 2008. (I was going to do that anyway because I was using the 90 trial and now I have the paid software)

The other post talks about what happens when you don't include a membership provider in web.config, so I don't think that's it.

Try this as an experiment -- comment out the RegularExpressionValidator completely, by surrounding it with comment tags:

<%--

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="valPasswordLength" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password" SetFocusOnError="true" Display="Dynamic"
                        ValidationExpression="\w{5,}" ErrorMessage="Password must be at least 5 characters long." ToolTip="Password must be at least 5 characters long."
                        ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard1">*</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

--%>

Then see what happens. If it works with the validator commented out, then you know for sure that it's the validator, which I am already 99% sure that it is.

Quite frankly, I don't see anything wrong with the validator. There is no reason why it should not be working.

Try this: uncomment the validator back, but set EnableClientScript="false" on it this time.

Try it with both valid and invalid data. If it works, we know that the validation is failing on the client side only. That should narrow it down some.

Where is "EnableClientScript= "

I can't find that line anywhere?
