I have run through the instructions and have completed each step but on step 4 when I try to deploy the wsp using the powershell I get the ……. Progress indicators which never complete or if I try manually to activate the solution it never completes. I have a fresh install of SharePoint SE patched to kb50002681. I am wondering if the solution is still compatible. The FBA is seams to be working as I get the correct fba login box. Any thoughts

You shouldn’t get an error if you edit a user created in a separate site collection. The user’s profile is stored in each site collection though, so changes to profile fields don’t carry between site collections (This is what SharePoint’s User Profile Sync does for AD users).

If you are getting errors in this situation, maybe post screenshots/more details in https://forums.visigo.com.

Root level
Site collection A
Site collection B
Site collection C

All users will show up anywhere you are accessing the FBA User Management. You will get an error if you try editing a user that was not created in the same site collect as where you are currently.

Would love to hear if others have addressed this before and how.

Thank you!

I double checked my machine.config and web.config, everything was fine…

But I figured it out, I forgot that I had 2 differents users for my web Apps, and they didn’t had the “db_owner” rights on the FBADB SQL Server…

Good luck everyone,

And thank you a lot for this perfect guide

Ignore this as well. It was a typo in the connection string in the machine.config.
Sorry for the spam.
Chris thanks again for your great guide

I’m pasting here how my web application’s web.config section for the membership and roles is as it did not appeared in my latest response:
