The OracleMembershipProvider class enables ASP.NET developers to store Web site user account information in an Oracle database.

Class Inheritance

System.Object

  System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderBase

    System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider

      Oracle.Web.Security.OracleMembershipProvider

Declaration

// C#
public class OracleMembershipProvider: MembershipProvider

Thread Safety

All public static methods are thread-safe, although instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

This class allows ASP.NET applications to store and manage user information in an Oracle database. Note that the term user in this chapter refers to an application or user, not a database user. Thus, the user information that this provider manages is application or user information, not database user information.

Example

The following code example shows a web.config file for an ASP.NET application configured to use OracleMembershipProvider as the default provider. This configuration uses the connection string and default attribute values specified in the machine.config file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
  <system.web>
    <membership defaultProvider="OracleMembershipProvider"/>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

The following is a web.config example for an ASP.NET application that uses an OracleMembershipProvider with customized settings and an application-specific connection string:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns=
  "http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="my_membership_app_con_string" connectionString=
      "User Id=scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=Oracle"/>
  </connectionStrings>
  <system.web>
    <!-- Enable and customize OracleMembershipProvider settings -->
    <membership defaultProvider="MyOracleMembershipProvider">
      <providers>
        <add name="MyOracleMembershipProvider"
             type="Oracle.Web.Security.OracleMembershipProvider, 
             Oracle.Web, Version=2.112.2.0, Culture=neutral, 
             PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342"
             connectionStringName="my_membership_app_con_string"
             applicationName="my_membership_app"
             enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
             enablePasswordReset="true"
             requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
             requiresUniqueEmail="true"
             passwordFormat="Hashed"
             maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="4"
             minRequiredPasswordLength="9"
             passwordAttemptWindow="8"/>
      </providers>
    </membership>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

Note that the applicationName attribute should be set to a unique value for each ASP.NET application.
