Source won't download. Can you look into this?
Thanks!!
Yes, it's Internet Explorer that has problems with the links. Just right-click on the link and select "Select Target As" to get the zip files.
This looks like it may be a useful utility for anyone that has ever run into issues with getting passwords reset for some accounts.
i just downloaded it and tried to use it. I have configured it per your readme.txt file. It creashes on Membership.Provideer.GetAllUsers with an exception. The internal exception says {"Request failed."} but the ex.Message is "An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for system.web/membership: Request failed. (Z:\bramoin\DotNetNukeExample\bin\Debug\DNNUserManager.vshost.exe.Config line 9)". Line 9 in this config file is: .
Any help is appreciated.
thanks,

bramoin,
This looks like a security exception. Do not run this from a mapped or UNC drive. You need to run this from a drive that is local to your machine. I don't know enough about code trust issues to try to troubleshoot this.
Hector,
Can you do this same thing using the DotNetNuke.dll? How does this code know to read the encrypted passwords inside the DotNetNuke database of users?
thank you,

Hector,
You were right about the mapped drive, i was running the application from a mapped drive. It works but it is pulling SQL Server users and not the DotNetNuke users.

"Can you do this same thing using the DotNetNuke.dll? How does this code know to read the encrypted passwords inside the DotNetNuke database of users?"
No, you can't use DotNetNuke.dll. DotNetNuke uses the ASP.NET Membership APIs. This is a code framework that stores its data in SQL Server, or any database that supports it.
"It works but it is pulling SQL Server users and not the DotNetNuke users."
Unless you have the wrong connection string in the config file, you are seeing the DotNetNuke users that are stored in the database as part of the ASP.NET Membership framework. Those are the tables that start with aspnet_. Don't try to edit those tables by hand, and that can seriously screw up the data in there.
Hector,
What are the specific configuration section that is required for this program to pull dotnetnuke users?
thank you,

Here is what my App.config has in it for membership:
What do i need to change and to what in order to make the program get the DotNetNuke users?
thanks,

"What are the specific configuration section that is required for this program to pull dotnetnuke users?"
Yes, it's the ones I pointed to in the readme file. The connection string in those sections will point to the database that your installation to DotNetNuke is using. That's also the location of your users. This means that the users you are seeing are actually the users in your DotNetNuke installation.
Don't post configuration details in public. Instead, if you need to, please email them to support@systemwidgets.com
Thanks!
