Looking for (a) ideas why my absolutely positively verified login credentials are failing and (b) how to remedy the situation?
I think I've done all the obvious checking and double-checking possible. Setup multiple user accounts from the website | asp.net configuration | security section. ALL accounts are failing. In fact, I'm even throwing an error when I attempt to "register"
from the running site.
After some sleep, a fresh start always provides perspective. I'm not sure I'll get any reply, but typing this problem out may prove cathartic. For perspective it might also be worth noting that my implementation is running from a local IIS server (PC wwwroot).
I've learned how to "toggle" between two ugly choices this morning.
(a) In the Web.config file I turn [customErrors Mode = 'off'] - and the site will load from the internet. Nice. But it won't recognize any login.
(b) I can turn the [customErrors Mode = 'remoteOnly''] - and the site will NOT load from the internet. BUT it will allow me to login and adminsiter when I run it directly via the IDE in VS.net.
I'm a rookie to begin with so a fragile database connection has me boggled.
If the data is in the tables and the login screen still returns a failure, then the likely culprit is the database connection string in the web.config file.
