It's not a code issue, but a configuration issue.

Once everything is set to /, open up the site in Visual Web Developer, start the Website Administration tool and create a new user and role. Make sure the user is assigned to this new role, and that the role name matches the one used in web.config used to block access to the Management folder.

Does this help?

That may indeed be part of the problem. Your database has two applications with two Admin users. I think only one of those (the wrong one) is assigned to a role.

Did my article help to fix your security issues?

Hi Imar,

I'm using Visual Web Developer Express and I dont see "open up the site in Visual Web Developer, start the Website Administration tool and create a new user and role." The Website Administration tool to create and add new users and roles. How do I get to this tool in the developer. Please let me know.
Thanks,

Matt

OK I've accessed the Administration tool. I gone through the entire process of creating a new user then an new role (I named it Admin) and then mapping the user to the role and then mapping the role to the folder (Management). Once I was completed I stopped and started my site but when I log in with the new user I still do not see the Admin tab and if I go to the management folder I get redirected to the login page. Can I send you the configuratin information so you can take a look. Please let me knwo what you need.
Thanks,
Matt

The thing is, I am not sure what to suggest or what to ask for at this stage. I am a little lost as to how you have configured your system, what database you are using an so on. Here's what I would do:

1. Unpack original source

2. Open site in VWD

3. Modify the web.config to set the applicationName to /

4. Run the WSAT

5. Create a role, then a user and assign it to the role

6. Use that same role to block the Management folder.

That works for me every single time. If it doesn't work for you, I don't know why not and I need more information about your current setup.

One more thing: did you add an applicationName to the role provider? Your last web.config doesn't have one....

Hi Imar,

I seem to have everything working in MSSQL 2000 now except that when I add a product it is not showing up in my database or in my webpage. I can add users. When I add new products the pictures show up in the pictures directory. When I run the procedure through sql query analyzer it runs. What would cause the products to now update? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Matt

Hard to tell without seeing the actual site run. Try setting a breakpoint in FormView1_ItemInserting in the AddProducts page and in the InsertProduct method in the ShopManagerDB class and see what fires. Maybe somehow an exception occurs?
