Custom MembershipProvider Index out of bounds/machineKey

[Mark Olbert]

I'm getting the following exception from a website that uses a custom MembershipProvider that I've written. What's bizarre is that
the exception is thrown outside my code, >>after<< the user is properly validated.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Have locate the exact line that generate the excception? You can bound to
the process that execute your MembershipProvider in VS.NET, run your code
step by step.
