Re: Forms Authentication - Admin Pages Outside of VS?

Well - this kind of works - but is not supported.

a) have a look at the query strings they pass into the admin page - basically the virtual and physical path of the app you want to configure
b) the provider settings are read from the app you want to configure
c) in addition - there is a check in the source to only allow connection from localhost - you would have to remove that check.

as i said - it is not supported ;)

Developing More Secure Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Applications (http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/9989.asp)

Okay so I'm somwhat new to ASP.Net and Visual Studio. We've installed
WindoesSharepoint Services 3 on our server and have it configured to
use Forms Based Authentication. I've gone in VS and created the
ASP.Net app and then clicked the Website, ASP.Net Configuration Menu
option and it brings up the Screens to allow me to Add Users to the
DB, create groups, and all that fun stuff.

My Copy of Visual Studio is in a Virtual Machine and its a Pain to
have to load it up every time I want to Add or edit a user.

Can I just make a Virtual Directory to the
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles
folder and run it from another Web instead of inside Visual Studio?

Where would I put:
<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="<..snip..>" />
<remove name="AspNetSqlProvider" />
<add name="AspNetSqlProvider" connectionString="<..snip..>" />
</connectionStrings>
and the other studd in the web.config.

Thanks
