8.3.2009 Upgrade Your Site's Authentication with the New ASP.NET 2.0 Membership API
In its first release, ASP.NET introduced forms authentication. This provided a powerful framework for handling user authentication in a secure fashion and with an easy-to-use API. The core of forms authentication hasn't changed in ASP.NET 2.0, so most of the tricks and techniques remain usable. However, a lot of work has been done in ASP.NET 2.0 to expose a new membership system that makes it even easier to create more powerful systems for user authentication and management. When you explore the basics of the provider model (upon which this new membership system is based) and its tight integration with forms authentication, you'll inevitably wonder: how does this affect my existing code and database of users and roles?
