I have read your paper on implimenting membership and role providers in DNN, thank you! This is an excellent resource.
What I have is a situation where I am happy to alllow anyone to register and use my DNN portal, but I would like to assign them to a role if the user name and password they used to login can be validated by a call to a web service. In other words, by calling the web service I can determine if they should have elevated rights.
My security needs are not too strict, so I could get away with simply making the call once when they register and making a static role assignment. Of course it would be better if I could re-verify the user by calling the web service either each time they login or on a fixed interval like once a week.
What would be the simpliest way to go about this? I am using the latest build of DNN (4.4.1) and would like to make the minimum number of changes which might impact on my ability to upgrade to newer versions of DNN.
Thank you.
