I am new to DotNetNuke and I wanna develop my own Single-Sign-On module so that we can share our other local databse for authentication and authorization for security purposes, and also import/export data from other SQL Server data base

 

In version 4.0.2, how can I use another database to hold the user information while still using the membership functionality in DotNetNuke. I have already looked at the Doc that comes with dnn. While it describes how the new provider is integrated into DNN. I cant seem to see how to switch to another data store.

 

Please tell me from where i start and please forward any usefull link like tutorial telling detail about about situation

Is this possible.

 

thanx in advance

This is possible, but you will need either a good amount of technical procifiency or the willingness to pay for this feature.  What you need is a custom membership provider.  By writing a custom httpmodule, you can authenticate against whatever user store you want.  If you go this route, I would encourage you to only use your  other db to authenicate and acquire user credentials.  Then, when you get to DNN, go ahead and insert/update/etc the user profile info in the dnn users and aspnet_users tables.  The advantage to doing this is you retain all the built-in DNN user features.
