Does IIS7 use different default membership provider?

Normal 0 21 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Hello,

Say I create CreateUserWizard control and use AspNetSqlMembershipProvider ( defined in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config ) as a default membership provider.

Assuming I change default provider's requiresQuestionAndAnswer attribute to false, then CreateUserWizard control template should not be required to provide Question and Answer fields.

But if I request the page via IIS7 I get the following exception:

CreateUserWizard1: CreateUserWizardStep.ContentTemplate does not contain an IEditableTextControl with ID Question for the security question, this is required if your membership provider requires a question and answer.

A) The above exception suggests that when requesting a page via IIS7, runtime doesn’t use AspNetSqlMembershipProvider (defined in machine.config) as a default membership provider?!

But as far as I know, IIS should use AspNetSqlMembershipProvider and thus shouldn’t throw an exception?!

thanx

No it doesn't. It suggests your template doesn't include the security question/answer input. Nothing to do with IIS at all.

Look for Wrox's new book Professional IIS 7 in your local bookstore, or order now at Amazon.com

Below is default membership provider ( defined in machine.config ), which is also used by my

 application. Notice that I've set requiresQuestionAndAnswer to false, and as such CreateUserWizard

 template isn't required to provide question and answer fields.

Also, if I run this app via Visual Studio ( which provides built-in web server ), then everything

works OK and no  exception is thrown. Only when I request a page via IIS7 is request thrown:

<membership>
    <providers>
	<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" 
             type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 
             connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" 
             enablePassswordRetrieval="false" 
             requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" 
             applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="false" 
             passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" 
             minRequiredPasswordLength="7" 
             minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" 
             passwordAttemptWindow="10" 
             passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""/>
  </providers>
</membership>
