ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider uses an Active Directory or ADAM,
SqlMembershipProvider uses a SQL Server user store. Do you mean you
need to use both in the same time?

yes. i am writing a common reusable web service that will do
authentication and authorization.

some consumers of this web service will use sql authentication and
some might use AD.

i need to be able to programticaly pick the right provider depending
upon what consumer of the this web service wants i.e authenticate
agagin sql or AD.
Thanks
Siddharth

 

[siddharthkhare]

two questions..
1. is it possible to add amultiple Ad and multiple sql provider in
memebership section within same web.config file?
2.I tried just by adding only one AD provider in the web.config file
that I have posted above and that also failed. this time i had removed
sql provider.So makes me think could it be be that when .net reads
providers it validates them also such as LDAP path etc.. and may be
that is wrong or i don't reuired permissons etc...could that be
causing it.
Thanks
