Re: How to Change MinRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters in AspNetSq

Hi,

just give the provider a new name or add a <clear /> element to the <providers> section - otherwise you'll have a naming conflict.

I assume that copying this element to the application web.config and
modifying attributes will safely override for the app. only.  The app
is being deployed to a shared server, so I cannot do anything to the
machine.config.

Hi,

look at the <membership> element in machine.config - you can
configure that there machine wide - otherwise copy the config element
to your local web.config.

I have just started with ASP.NET 2.0 using VS.NET 2005 with SQL
2005. I have installed the aspnetdb and I am trying to setup a Logon
page with a test user.  When I tried to create the test user in the
WAT I found that the password was not accepted because it did not
contain a non-alphanumeric character.  My users will resist using
extremely strong passwords.  Many will not understand the concept.
Therefore, I need to set this to zero.  How can I do this?

I have a reference that points me to the application web.config file
but this seems to apply to a custom membership provider.  I do not
need to a custom provider.  I only want to avoid requiring
non-alphanumeric characters in passwords.  Later, I may want to
setup my own regular expression as well.

Thanks for any guidance on this.
