Hi,

I tried using the ASP.Net Web Site Administration Tool to setup security
for a web site I'm creating using VS 2005 C#. When clicking on the
Security tab, I get the error message: "Unable to connect to SQL Server
database". I then created the ASPNETDB database with the ASPNET_REGSQL
utility in the Windows\Microsoft.net\Framework\v2.0.50727 and can now see
the database in SQL Server Management Studio (I'm running SQL Server
2005). I tried the Web Site Administration Tool and got the same error.
It is interesting that the tool does not ask for the server name or the
database. Is it getting this info from some setting setup by the
ASPNET_REGSQL utility when creating the ASPNETDB database?

I have no problems connecting from my application or VS proper to the
database, only from the Web Site Administration Tool. What am I missing?

Thanks for any pointers.
