    <p>I am trying to get my FTP site to use an SQL database table for authentication. I found this <a href="http://techblog.edwardting.com/2010/07/21/creating-a-custom-database-driven-authentication-for-an-iis-7-ftp-site-using-visual-studio-c/" rel="nofollow">guide</a>. And followed it almost to the letter, except I am using IIS 8 and Visual Studio 2010. Now because the GAC is no longer put in C:\Windows\assembly I found my .dll in the new location C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL. After a lot of research I managed to find the properties for this (the Culture, Version, and Public Key Token that are required). I added this as a custom provider. Now it seems like everything is in place like it should be but when I log onto the ftp site it fails to log in with:</p> <pre><code>Response: 530 User cannot log in. Error: Critical error Error: Could not connect to server </code></pre> <p>I have been doing some trouble shooting and it doesn't look like the .dll is even being referenced. I set it to always return true so that it would grant anyone with any password access, and received the same error. I have been looking all over the place but all I can find is stuff about IIS 7 and things where the GAC is located in the old location. The FTP site was working fine, I was able to connect to it, with the basic authentication that is build in to IIS so I am pretty sure the site isn't the problem. </p> <p>So my question is where do I go from here? Is IIS 8 not looking in the new GAC location for my .dll? Is this why it seems like the code isn't being run at all? Or am I missing something that is obvious that will make me feel like an idiot when it gets answered?</p> <p>I am stuck so even pointing me in a new direction would be helpful at this point.</p>

    1. COThe article you are referring to references `IIS7` are you sure that it will work the same with `IIS8` also can you show all relevant code that pertains to the current issue at hand..?

    2. COMy code is exactly the code of the article with the exception of my connection string being different and table name being different in the SQL statement. I didn't change anything else. I am not sure it will work for IIS8 at all. This was just the best example for what I was trying to do. I am very new at IIS so I am learning as I go here.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
