David,
Yes, that’s pretty much what I was doing in the case where this came up.

The default membership provider was the System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider.

Only if that attempt to authorize fail would the Login control attempt to use the System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, which was listed in system.web/membership/providers in the web.config with the name “SecondarySqlMembershipProvider”

Was wondering… would this work with windows integrated auth on the page?

So, asp.net tried to auth using windows integrated/AD first, then fall back to SQL integrated?

Or am I missing some detail?

Cdr. Beavis,

Correct. In your system.web/membership/providers section of your web.config, use the add element to configure your membership providers, one element per provider. Then set the default provider in your membership element, “defaultProvider” attribute.

So, I’m assuming that I just add “SecondarySqlMembershipProvider” into the section of the element in the web.config?

Thanks,

[...] Recently I wanted to give someone access to one of my teaching web sites. They were not a student or faculty member so they didn’t have an account in our active directory. I am not a system administrator so I wasn’t able to add them to the active directory either. The solution was to add a second membership provider to my ASP.NET site. The first membership provider is based on active directory. The new, 2nd provider is a SQL provider. I found a great blog post that had the relevant code for checking the username and password against the second provider: http://www.stevideter.com/2008/03/20/using-two-membership-providers-for-aspnet-logins/.
