Going from dev to prod with .net Membership Provid

Question

I use SQLExpress on my dev machine. I just posted my application to a new prod server with SQL Server installed on it... I have restored my SQL DB in prod and i am successfully connecting to the DB with my connection string.

However, the membership provider seems to be failing to find my users in the DB.

Am i missing a step to configure or "activate" the membership provide on the prod server?

Any help would be great. Thank you.

I have a strong feeling it has to do with the ApplicationName property. I think you need to set the ApplicationName for Membership, Roles, and Profile providers.

I think this article talks about the problem you are facing...
