Create users using aspnet_Membership_CreateUser sp from sql

[LA_Guy]

Hi,

I've been frustrated by not understanding how to replicate the hashing
/ encryption behaviour
in the Membership class that does the CreateUser method.

The associated stored procedure aspnet_Membership_CreateUser assumes
that the parameters

password
passwordsalt
security answer
there fields have to be hashed/encrypted

1. How is the passwordsalt created ?
2. password is set from EncodePassword method
3. security answer is hashed with the passwordsalt above

My question is how to do the hashing of fields from a custom Users
table
so that I can add Users to the membership tables without using the
Membership.CreateUser method in .NET 2.0

Thanks, LA_Guy

Hi,

this is "propriety". If you want to use Sql membership to validate, then
the fields must be in the format that is expected by the provider. Otherwise
you need to write you own provider.

You are of course free to use Reflector to "inspect" the algorithm and formats
used.
