Problem using Create User Wizard control

[John]

Hi

I am using the Create User Wizard and am getting the 'Password length
minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1.' error when trying to
create a new user. What am I doing wrong?

Also is there a way to not use security question and answer in the wizard?

Thanks

Regards

You need to configure the Membership provider in your web.config file.

The properties you care about are:
requiresQuestionAndAnswer
minRequiredPasswordLength
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters

Example:
<membership defaultProvider="YourSqlProvider">
<providers>
<add
name="YourSqlProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
connectionStringName="SqlServices"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
minRequiredPasswordLength="6"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
/>
</providers>
</membership>

Thanks. What would be the sql provider string for a typical sql server
2005/visual studio 2005 install on c: drive

I'm not sure what you mean by "sql provider string".

The string used in the defaultProvider attribute of the membership
element, and the "name" attribute of the add element, can be anything.
Just make it up - it doesn't have any meaning, it is just a way to
reference your configured provider.

If you are asking for an example of the entire configuration section,
try looking in your machine.config for the default configured provider.
On a default install, where c:\windows is your windows folder, the file
is at:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config

If you open that file and search for "AspNetSqlMembershipProvider", you
will find the default configured membership provider.

It uses the "LocalSqlServer" connection string, which is also defined in
machine.config. Search for it, and you should find it within a
connectionStrings element. That will give you the connection information
for the SQL Server installed with VS2005.

Hope that helps.
