Hi to all,

following scenario:

- create portal one (e.g. the root portal during installation), define the admin account with the user name "admin"

- create portal two, define the admin account with the user name "admin"

imagine, how i was surprised to login to the root portal (portal one) with the admin account informations of portal two!

The quick look into the database "Users" offered the definition of the user name as unique. The second look offered, that "admin" of portal two was mapped as user in portal one and two.

I am just imagining, how surprised a customer admin will be, if he defines some users and gets user account informations of users of other portals!?

What i was expecting is an error message, if a user is already existing. Another possibility is the uniqueness of username and portalid (may be mapped as technical key).

Am i wrong? Which documentation should i read? What can I do to prevent this behaviour?

I did use the standard configuration using the "AspNetSqlMembershipProvider".

Thanks,

McShorty

More can be found on this occurance by doing a search, but the deal is this - a user can register across portals only if the username/pwd exactly match. If not, the registratio is prevented because the username is already taken.

Hi achooyeah,

thanks for your reply.

I have to think about the above described behaviour, if i like it - the possibility to get one matching user/pwd is not really high. I would prefer a uniqueness of user and portal, because the portals are logical independend. Because i didn't read something about this i was surprised.

You mentioned that a search across the site would bring some result. Could you give me a tip which keywords to use?

Thanks,

McShorty

McShorty - you might have better results doing a search via Google, but there's not a whole lot more to discover except for an explanation as to why it works this way (it's due to the membership provider). The more common question that comes through the boards regarding this issue is just the opposite - how to have single signon across portals and/or doing it with a single registration rather than registering in each portal.
