Role Management bind users to diffrerent applications

Folks,

How can i bind users to different applicationsID's (in aspnetdb database).

I have 10 companies in one aspnetdb database. Want to bind users to their own companies..

Any ideas?

Hi jagjot,

When you configure an ASP.NET Membership provider in web.config file, you can specify the "applicationName" attribute. Then, when you creating new users via this membership provider, the created user will be associated with the certain applicationName(you set for this provider).

<membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider"  >
     <providers>
       <clear />
       <add
         name="SqlProvider"
         type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
         connectionStringName="MySqlConnection"
         ......

        applicationName="MyApplication"
         .......
        />
     </providers>
   </membership>

Thus, if you want to be able to create and manipulate users bound to multiple applicationNames(no matter they're stored in the same database or not), you need to configure multiple membershp providers in web.config. BTW, so far it seems there is no built-in API for you to change the "applicationName" of user after you have created it(you might need to manually change the table columns in database tables)

And in your code, you can use Membership.Providers property to reference all the providers you have configured in web.config. e.g.

var provider1 = Membership.Providers["NameOfProvider1"];

// use provider1 to manipulate users

here are some other web articles mentioned use multiple membership providers for in an ASP.NET web application.

Re: Role Management bind users to diffrerent applications

Thanks Steven..

After my reaserch i also came to same conclusion - this is the best and robust technique available.

Surely this coud be better. I will write a class and db SP to sort this out and share with you..

Thank again...
