Hi,

I have a DNN site with 7,000 registered users. I've created a new portal that I'm bulk loading 5,000 existing users in to. However, some of the users already exist in the first portal which gives me the "User already exists" error message.

Is there anyway that 2 identical usernames can be added to 2 seperate portals (within the same DNN installation). I really need to find a solution for this... hmmm....

An audit on the tables I noticed a unique index on the filed USERNAME on the table USERS ? Why ? is not unique key and then the USERID field?

Thanks!

As far as I know this isn't going to be possible, based on the structure of the aspnet membership/users tables that DNN's user model is built on.

You could create your own custom provider as a work around, though this will take quite a bit of work as far as I understand it.

The only way you can have two identical usernames is if all the information is exactly the same.

So you can not have two users on two portals with username "ADMIN".

If I create a new mermbership but the index remains on USERNAME field and how I can work around this problem? with NEW mermbership SOLVE this problem ?

Thnaks!
