is it possible to use iis 7 to manage users when u

问题:

I have an ASP.NET web application that is using forms authentication. Everything is configured and working correctly. However, i'm dealing with the issue of creating and maintaining users and role membership.

I know that I can roll my own solution but I'm wondering if there is an alternative solution?

Does iis7 provide screens for managing forms authentication users? Is there a reliable, free solution that someone would recommend?

Thanks!

Not a solution, but a temporary workaround...

In Visual Studio there is Website -> "ASP.NET Configuration" menu item that will start a little administration app where you can manage users and roles. However, this is very rudimentary, and VERY slow.

I don't know how much time you had, but the framework for FormsAuthentication is good and you would only need to create a few forms to "roll your own". I've actually been thinking about making something like this for a long time, but usually the built in Configuration utility is enough, or the CMS' we work with have their own authentication management modules.

With Asp.Net MVC, you can try the mvcmembership starter kit.

What would be really cool if someone implemented all this into a Portable Area.

回答3:

I have been unable to find anything with IIS7 that would allow management of forms-authentication users.

However, I have found the following alternatives...

WinForm: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aspnetdb/

WebBased: http://www.asp.net/Learn/Security/tutorial-12-cs.aspx
