Hi all,

I really desperate and need help with this one:

- I have an existing user table for the old website, can I use this same table with the new site, created using DNN, instead of the default DNN user table? If I can, how do I do this?

Thanks a lot for the helps...

I'm guessing this is going to be pretty complex to achieve, since the use of the DNN user (aspnet user) tables is pretty fundamental to DNN.

Have you thought of importing the users into DNN, rather than using from elsewhere? If so there are various tools to achieve this. I personally use MZNS Import. I think the site is off the air for now, however I have a version that I used for importing into DNN 3.x and 4.x. May be worth a go.

Cheers
Roger

Thanks Roger,

But The problem is that the existing user table are used not by the website only, but through one of our application. I've planning to export data to the DNN user table from the existing table, then keep on replicate it every now and then.. but using SQL server replication is just not helping. If you have/find a better tool to keep updating/mirroring these 2 tables, can you send me the link of where can I download it?

Thanks....

Denny

I suspect you are in the realm of coding it yourself. There is a module that hooks up to AD which maybe a starting point for coding, and there are certainly modules out there which do user creation and the like. So it's probably a case of using a meta engine or a scheduled process to do the sync.

Sorry, but that's out of my area of expertise.

Are you trying to go both ways?  Where you can add users from either side?  You could put a trigger on the other table and anytime anything gets changed, deleted  or added it could similarly updated the DNN user tables using the DNN stored procedures.

here is a link on triggers if you need it
