When users login and I try to authenticate them, it is never successful and I'm unclear why this is happening. I create users with
Membership.CreateUser(UserName.Text, Password.Text, Email.Text).
No problems there and I can see the users being created in the database. My web.config looks like this:
<authorization><deny users="?" /></authorization><authentication mode="Forms"><forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" defaultUrl="~/" timeout="20" /></authentication><membership defaultProvider="DefaultMembershipProvider"><providers><add connectionStringName="ASPMembershipDB" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" passwordFormat="Hashed" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" name="DefaultMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultMembershipProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" /></providers></membership>
When users go to login, this code executes but users never authenticate. User always returns Null.
Dim manager = New UserManager()
Dim user As ApplicationUser = manager.Find(UserName.Text, Password.Text)
This code has worked in previous versions of VS but doesn't seem to work in 2013. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
