Using a Forms authentication in a shared hosting environment

9 Nov 2007 10:54 PM

JEFF

I am using a logon control in a shared hosting environment. When I do I get
the following run time error:

    The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the
connection string. At the configured trust     level (below High trust
level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file.

I know that is because I am using SQL express edition on my development
machine but I am looking for general advice on using Forms authentication in
a shared hosting environment. I have never done it and my host is being
very helpful.

Here is my default.aspx

    <script runat="server">
    </script>
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
    <head runat="server">
        <title>Untitled Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
             
            <asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server">
            </asp:Login>
        </form>
    </body>
    </html>

Here is my web.config

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <configuration>
        <appSettings/>
        <connectionStrings/>
        <system.web>
            <compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true" />
            <pages>
                <namespaces>
                    <clear />
                    <add namespace="System" />
                    <add namespace="System.Collections" />
                    <add namespace="System.Collections.Specialized" />
                    <add namespace="System.Configuration" />
                    <add namespace="System.Text" />
                    <add namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web.Caching" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web.SessionState" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web.Security" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web.Profile" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web.UI" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts" />
                    <add namespace="System.Web.UI.HtmlControls" />
                </namespaces>
            </pages>
            <authentication mode="Forms" />
            <customErrors mode="Off"/>
        </system.web>
    </configuration>

Changing title and cross posting as it looks like my original post was to
the wrong newsgroup. Can anyone point me to some documentation or best
practices for using Forms authentication in a hosted environment?

THANKS!
JEFF
