Chapter 15 Try It Out p. 520

Hello,

I have completed this Try It Out, but I'm not getting the full effect. On the design view of my Signup.aspx page, I can see the areas for the Security Question and the Security Answer within the CreateUserWizard box. However, when I run the page these two options do not appear. Any idea why this would be?

Hi there,

Take a look in the web.config file and you'll see something like this:

Code:

 
<membership>
  <providers>
    <clear/>
      <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" 
           type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web,
           Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 
           connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" 
           enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
           applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" 
           maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" 
           minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1" passwordAttemptWindow="10" 
           passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""/>
  </providers>
</membership>

This option is off now by default when you create a new web site using VS 2010, while it used to be on in 2008.

Cheers,

Imar
