I am new to using IIS and what I am trying to do is to use an existing
Access database of my members names and userinfo for authentication to
a new web site I am building inhouse, I am using Web Server 2008.  I
would like to keep my web server as a stand along server not in the
domain and allow my members to login using their username in the
Access database and password to allow access to the website, I am not
oposed to changing the database to SQL.  I currently have their
profile in the Access database and I would like them to be able to
update their profile as needed and change passwords as needed. I was
thinking of using Integrated Windows Authentication but I think that
means I will have to add all my users info to the local users accounts
on the web server. If I do that I am not sure if there is a way to
allow them to change their password and update there user info.

Any suggestions?

Hi Allen,

Your main advantage here is that you are building a new application.
So you are thinking about this at the right time. The answer is to use
forms-based authentication and asp.net membership and role providers.
This is a flexible framework that allows you to store your account
information anywhere you like and do the wire-up in the application's
web.config.

See the following link for a simple sample that shows the basics of
what you are going to do. Further searches on the internet will
provide lots and lots of other samples since this is a common
developer task.

Thanks for the info, I thought it was something that was done before.
I will be checking out the link and other research on this as well.
Again thanks for your feedback.
