There is probably a very simple solution to this problem. I have been given an Asp.NET application and the complete database with the aspnet tables (aspnet_Users, aspnet_Membership, etc.) and all the data and objects therein.
However, when I go to run the application on my local (using IISExpress, so that I can readily attach the debugger) it fails on authentication with a valid user/password combination :
System.Web.Security.Membership.ValidateUser(providedUserName, providedUserPassword)
It simply fails to validate, and I can confirm the user and corresponding password in the aspnet_Users and aspnet_Membership tables.
Is there some SQL Server configuration issue I might be overlooking -- it just seems like there must be a configuration issue that would be causing this given that I am using the same database and code that does authenticate on another system. Thank you.
