ASP.net Security Problem

[thefox149]

Hi tippers

I have a machine a do my development on (I am new to asp.net). I used the login in control added a users and on successful login I get redirected to the correct page this works fine on my development machine. When I copied ("directly copied all the files from my working folder") to my webserver the login page loads fine however it does not accept the password. I have got it set to authenticate from the web. I accessed the site using localhost....is this the problem (not at home to test) ...i suppose it would be wouldn't it?

What do you mean by "does not accept the password" ? Is there any error-exception thrown? Maybe you have database problems .

It states that the password or user name is incorrect in the validation section

It's probably a database issue as TipGiver has said. If you just copied all the files in your project to another machine, then the web.config will be looking for the database specified in there. Bascially, check the membership profiles in the web.config and make sure they are pointing to the DB you want.

Is the account locked? If memory serves, the default login control's behavior is the same for locked accounts as for wrong passwords.

I think there's something else afoot I have taken the security out I can access the records in my dbase but i can't save to it....(sqlserver) the login control creates a sqlserver dabse ....am i forgetting about something here in my deployment. I use

Dim cst As String = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Data.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
Dim cnn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(cst) to connect to the dbase is there something in my webconfig I am missing?

Are you sure you want to be using integrated security?

How are you trying to "save" to the database? Show the code you are using that you say does not work.
