I'm exploring Website Administration Tool. Since this tool is unavailable in Visual Studio 2012, I'm using this workaround to create roles, members and restrict access. I have a sample website Test which is a Web Forms Site with a default login, register and home pages.
My problem is this:
When I add a user using the Web Admin tool, I can't log in with that user in the Test website. The data is however stored in the appropriate database.
If I register in the Test website, I can log in. But this is not reflected in my aspnet_Membership, asp_Users, etc tables in the database. Instead, I find out that new tables have appeared. Namely: AspnetUsers, AspnetRoles, etc. This is where my user, who registered in the website, is stored.
So the user added through website is stored in a different table than the ones added through the Web Admin Tool. That's why I can't log in using the users added through Web Admin Tool.
Is there any way I can force the Login and Registered pages not to create new tables in my database? And instead, use the data from the 'aspnet_Membership, asp_Users, etc.' when users are logging in? I want to be able to log in using the users I added in WAT, and be able to see the registered users in WAT too.
Any help would be appreciated!
