sorry - i meant

_or_ simply write your own auth lib.

no - this is just not supported by membership. If you need to augment
the membership data with additional data you need to use Profile and
simply write your own authentication library that is not tied to
membership.

Our user directly allows authentication with "short names". For
example, the user "Joe Cool/Acme" can log in with the user id
"jcool".

In implementing an ASP.NET Membership Provider, we can not figure out
how to supply the real user name (used in access control settings,
etc.) when users log in using just the short name. It seems like the
ValidateUser method should provide a way to supply the real name in
addition to just returning true or false. Are we missing something?

Thanks!
