    Hi,

    I'm having a BIG problem, this is my 3rd day looking for answer !

    I'm trying to create a custom membership provider with MS SQL database 2005 but not the default ASPNETDB.
    I've changed the web.config to be as following:

    <connectionStrings>

    <
    add name="sqlConn" connectionString="Data Source=.;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB;"
    providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

    </
    connectionStrings>

    <system.web>

    <
    trace enabled="true" />
    <
    roleManager enabled="true" />
    <
    authentication mode="Forms" />

    <membership defaultProvider="MySqlProvider">
    <
    providers>

    <
    remove name="AspNetSqlProvider"/>
    <
    add name="MySqlProvider" connectionStringName="SqlConn"
    type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" applicationName="/" />

    </
    providers>
    </
    membership>

    But when I try to login to the site using the login control the following error occurs:

    Server Error in '/etest' Application.

    Configuration Error

    Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

    Parser Error Message: The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

     It is clear that this is a prblem with my Machine.Config file - since I've "worked!" on this file for a while. But when I've checked the Machine.config file I've found the LocalSqlServer connection it is talking about! Tongue Tied .

    I'm lost and I dunno what to do, can anyone help?

    Here is the mahine.config in case if you need it:

    <connectionStrings>

    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="data source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

    Jocker, there are plenty of sources on the internet to help. Check out:

    4GuysFromRolla.com

    msdn2.microsoft.com 

    In fact the page I found from Microsoft, the latter of the two links above, gives you the answer your looking for. 

    <roleManager enabled="true" />
    "This configuration enables role management and causes your application to use the default provider named AspNetSqlRoleProvider defined in the Machine.config file. This uses the local SQL Express instance.

    To use a role store in SQL Server, add a connection string to point to your role database and add a role provider definition in the Web.config file, as shown here."

    <configuration>
    <connectionStrings>
    <add name="SqlRoleManagerConnection"
    connectionString="Data Source=sqlinstance;
    Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
    >
    </add>
    </connectionStrings>
    </configuration>

    <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="SqlRoleManager">
    <providers>
    <add name="SqlRoleManager"
    type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="SqlRoleManagerConnection" applicationName="MyApplication" />
    </providers>
    </roleManager>
    Hope this helps or you've all ready found the solution. 
    Best regards,
    Kurt
