Everyone,

I feel embarrassed saying this, but the company I have recently started
working with have an enterprise level website built in classic asp run off
site server.  We have in the region of 17000 users held in site servers
membership directory and, I am told, that the only reason they haven't
upgraded the site is because of the membership directory.

I have been given the dubious honor of finding a solution to this and
therefore I am searching and scrapping the internet to find references to
migrating or accessing the membership directory from asp.net 2.

So here is my question, does anyone either,

1. Know of a third party product or a route to superseed the "Site Server
memership object" - "Server.CreateObject("Membership.UserObjects")",
"Server.CreateObject("Membership.MembershipInfo.1")" to bypass the classic
asp calls to the directory.

2. A route to efficiently Migrate the membership Directory to another
solution.  i.e. Can the membership Directory be migrated to SQL Server or
even a CSV Extract so the SQL Tables can be built.

If anyone can help with this I would be grateful.


Thankyou

Paul

Paul,

The Site Server Membership provider is exposed as an LDAP source, so if
what you want is to get at the info, you should be able to query against
it using standard LDAP techniques.

You could also consider migrating through to the ASP.NET 2.0 membership
provider, or possibly even writing a shim to map 2.0 membership to SS
membership.
