I'm building a new ASP.net 4.5 web forms application that needs to use an existing database schema to provide authentication & authorization. The user, role and group tables are part of a legacy application's database and I must use that security model.
Can someone lead me in the right direction? I can't find any documentation that discusses security when integrating with an existing database. I see plenty of examples for Active Directory and all the other option you might use if starting completely from
scratch. But I can't find anything that explains how to do security with an existing database.
I need to figure out how to
- log in users
- restrict access to pages based on the predefined user groups
- limit page functionality based on the predefined user groups
Do I need to create my own complete Membership Provider? That seems overkill for the simple tasks listed above that I need to accomplish. All user and security maintenance is handled in the legacy application.
