I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now - I cannot get this WCF service configured correctly to use a custom membership provider. When I fire up the test client I get this error:
The username/password Membership provider MidlandsCoop.MembersWcfService.Business.UserAuthentication specified in the configuration is invalid. No such provider was found registered under system.web/membership/providers.
I have been following this MSDN link to no avail. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Here's my web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="MyCS" connectionString="Data Source=my server;Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" /> </system.web> <system.serviceModel> <bindings> <wsHttpBinding> <binding name="wsHttpBinding"> <security> <message clientCredentialType="UserName" /> </security> </binding> </wsHttpBinding> </bindings> <services> <service name="MidlandsCoop.MembersWcfService.MembersService" behaviorConfiguration="Service_Behaviour"> <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" name="basicHttpBinding" contract="MidlandsCoop.MembersWcfService.IMembersService" /> <endpoint binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsHttpBinding" name="wsHttpBinding" contract="MidlandsCoop.MembersWcfService.IMembersService" /> <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" /> </service> </services> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="Service_Behaviour"> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" /> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" /> <serviceCredentials> <userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" membershipProviderName="MidlandsCoop.MembersWcfService.Business.UserAuthentication" /> </serviceCredentials> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" /> </system.serviceModel> <system.webServer> <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" /> </system.webServer> </configuration>
My user authentication class is as follows:
public class UserAuthentication : UserNamePasswordValidator { public override void Validate(string userName, string password) { if (null == userName || null == password) { throw new ArgumentNullException(); } var db = new PetaPoco.Database("MyDB"); db.Fetch<dynamic>("SELECT Username, Password FROM MyTable WHERE Username=@0 AND Password =@1", userName, password); } } Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
