Adding attributes in Active Directory

[itsPiyush]

I am adding new attributes in Active Directory and adding those
attributes in User class.
Now when I am adding this attributes in Web.config file in
<membership> tag it is not getting reflected.

For eg I added an attribute passwordQuestion in Active Directory
schema. And then I added that attribute in User class.
Now in web.config file I am using this attributes but its not
reflecting.

<system.web>

<membership defaultProvider="MyADMembershipProvider" >
<providers>
<add name="MyADMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider,

System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
connectionStringName="TestDomain" connectionUsername="testdmn
\Administrator"
connectionPassword="passwd12"
attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"
attributeMapPasswordAnswer="passwordQuestion"
attributeMapPasswordQuestion="PasswordAnswer"
attributeMapFailedPasswordAnswerCount="FailedPassAnsCnt"
attributeMapFailedPasswordAnswerTime="FailedPassAnsTime"

attributeMapFailedPassswordAnswerLockoutTime="FailedPassAnsLockTime"/>
</providers>
</membership>
</system.web>

It is giving me error as passwordQuestion is not an attribute of the
user Class

Can you add that data to AD with a lower level tool like ADSI Edit or
Ldp.exe? Perhaps you didn't do the schema extensions correctly. Testing
this with a lower level "pure LDAP" client is a good initial test.

Can you tell in detail I have added the new attributes through
Microsoft Management Console.

You just need to open up ADSI Edit and locate the object you want to modify.
On the properties tab, you will see the list of attributes for that object
and you can modify them there if you have permissions. If the attributes do
not appear, your schema modification was not correct.
