  Membership.ValidateUser always returns False

  Mar 03, 2009 02:38 PM|LINK

   Hi All,

            I have a code here, when i try to login,the validate user always returns false.

  here is the code,

  protected void btnSignIn_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
        
          string MailId = txtMailId.Text.Trim();
          string Pwd = txtPwd.Text.Trim();
  
          MembershipUser objUsr = Membership.GetUser(MailId);
          if (objUsr != null)
          {
              lblMsg.Text = "Hi";//here i am getting the mailid(i.e same as UserName) correctly.
          }
          //objUsr.IsApproved = true;
          bool s = Membership.ValidateUser(MailId, Pwd);but here it is not getting validated
          if (Membership.ValidateUser(MailId, Pwd))
          {
             
              lblMsg.Visible = true;
              lblMsg.Text = "Successfully login";
  
             
              string UserID = objUsr.ProviderUserKey.ToString();
              string UserName = User.Identity.Name;
              Session.Add("UserId", UserID);
  
          }
          else
          {
              lblMsg.Visible = true;
              lblMsg.Text = "Invalid User Credential";
          }

  }

  So MailId is the username..that user enter to login correct???

  Secondly since ObjUsr is not null....user exists ..that leads to one following:

  1: Password incorrect

  2: User is Locked

  3: User is not Approved

  4: somethin else???? and needs more investigation. i.e. was it working before and stopped working? did you make any other changes like passwordFormat or something to your memberhsip provider....and so on.

  I have the same problem... for some reason if I use, Membership.ValidateUser(userId, pwd) in the page_load event it always returns false. However, if I use the same code in the Logging_In event of the Login control -- it works... It is still a mystery to me...but, atleast it works as designed in the Logging_in event. Also, I expected the FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(userID, password) also to work...but this does not work either.... emmm....

  Hi vinayuthappa,

  I guess it may be caused by the name of membership provider. Please try again with following code:

  <membership defaultProvider="MySqlProvider">
      <providers>
         <clear />
         <add name="MySqlProvider" passwordFormat="Hashed" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="Communities" minRequiredPasswordLength="4" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true"/>
      </providers>
  </membership>

  Thanks.
