nHi again in this anonymous site series..
n
n
n
nIn my previous post I explained steps about how to create anonymous web site using SharePoint existing site. So in this post I am going to make use of out of the box ASP.NET Membership Provider and it to anonymous site which we created. (This is easy one)
n
n
n
nSo very first step is to have ASPNET db in SQL Server, and for this we are going to use the traditional ASP.NET way with popular command aspnet_regsql
n
n
n
n1. Open visual studio command prompt and type in command aspnet_regsql, you will see ASP.NET Sql Server setup wizard, click next and select configure SQL Server for application services.
n
n
n
nEnter Database Server name and keep database name as <default> in dropdown (this will create db with name aspnetdb in SQL Server), click finish on next screen
n
n
n
n
n
n2. Once aspnetdb database is created in SQL Server, then next step is to make use of this db.
n
n
n
nBrowse to Central Administration site and click on Application Management tab. Find and click on Authentication Providers, select Internet zone. Change Authentication type to Forms , and enter Membership Provider Name as AspNetSqlMembershipProvider and Role Manager Name as AspNetSqlRoleProvider. Click on save.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n3. Now we have configured anonymous application to use Forms authentication, next step is to specify Membership provider and role manager entries in web.config file of anonymous web site
n
n
n
nAdd following entries to web.config file
n
n
n
n
n
n
n<membership>
n
n <providers>
n
n <add
n
nname=“AspNetSqlMembershipProvider“ type=“System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider,System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a“ connectionStringName=“LocalSqlServer“
n
nenablePasswordReset=“true“
n
nrequiresQuestionAndAnswer=“true“
n
npasswordFormat=“Hashed“
n
napplicationName=“/“
n
n/>
n
n </providers>
n
n</membership>
n
n
n
n<roleManager>
n
n <providers>
n
n <remove name=“AspNetSqlRoleProvider“ />
n
n
n
n<add
n
nname=“AspNetSqlRoleProvider“ type=“System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider,System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a“ connectionStringName=“LocalSqlServer“
n
nrole=“SignedInClient“
n
napplicationName=“/“
n
n/>
n
n </providers>
n
n</roleManager>
n
n
n
n<connectionStrings>
n
n <remove name=“LocalSqlServer“ />
n
n
n
n<add name=“LocalSqlServer“
n
nconnectionString=“Data Source=DbServer;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;
n
nIntegrated Security=True“
n
nproviderName=“System.Data.SqlClient“ />
n
n</connectionStrings>
n
n
n
nConnection string is required for application to know about aspnetdb.
n
n
n
n4. Now , to register users with anonymous site you can use out of box ASP.NET user registration wizard control and Login control , so there are two ways to achieve this
na. You can create your custom page layouts and add those ASP.NET controls to page layouts like this
n
n
nFor Login Page:
n
n<asp:Login runat=”server” ID=”Login1″ DestinationPageURL=”/Pages/Default.aspx” CreateUserText=”Create User” CreateUserUrl=”/Pages/Registration.aspx”></asp:Login>
n
nFor Registration Page:
n
n<asp:CreateUserWizard ID=”CreateUserWizard2″ runat=”server” ContinueDestinationPageUrl=”/Pages/Default.aspx”>
n
n <WizardSteps>
n
n <asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID=”CreateUserWizard1″ runat=”server” />
n
n <asp:CompleteWizardStep ID=”CompleteWizardStep1″ runat=”server” />
n
n </WizardSteps>
n
n </asp:CreateUserWizard>
n
n
nb. Or you can create your web parts wrapping OOB ASP.NET controls and add them to your site
n
n
n
nLogin WebPart :
n
n protected override void CreateChildControls()
n
n {
n
n try
n
n {
n
n base.CreateChildControls();
n
n Login loginControl = new Login();
n
n loginControl.DestinationPageUrl = “/Pages/Default.aspx”;
n
n loginControl.CreateUserUrl = “/Pages/Registration.aspx”;
n
n this.Controls.Add(loginControl);
n
n }
n
n catch (Exception ex)
n
n {
n
n
n
n }
n
nRegistration WebPart:
n
nprotected override void CreateChildControls()
n
n {
n
n try
n
n {
n
n base.CreateChildControls();
n
n CreateUserWizard cwz = new CreateUserWizard();
n
n cwz.ContinueDestinationPageUrl = “/Pages/Default.aspx”;
n
n this.Controls.Add(cwz);
n
n
n
n }
n
n catch (Exception ex)
n
n {
n
n
n
n }
n
n }
n
n
n
n
nNote: there are many properties of these controls which you can configure as your need
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n5. Once you have set up all these things and have your custom login page then , change default login page of anonymous site using IIS Manager like this
n
n
n
nFind anonymous site in IIS > find authentication in features view >right click on Forms Authentication> click edit > change login url
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nAbove all settings worked pretty perfectly for me (at least 🙂 )
