Hello.

with that provider you can not create a user inside EPiServer Admin, you have to use a active directory client.

It has nothing to do with EPiServer, is a function inside Windows.

You can for example go to to the Active Directory Server and follow the step here:

Or you can change membership-provider to multiplex and add the sql provider as a secondary provider and do it inside EPiServer, read more about it here:

Hi henrik thanks for the reply. I wanted to create a sqlMembership user from active directory admin logged in user, so that i can set acces rights to other users also who are not within active directory.

I am just guessing that i am missing some configuration in web.config which i need to change. Please let me known .

What happens if you switch order of AD and SQL membership and role providers? I can't remember, but speculating that EPiServer stops trying to create new user at the first provider who replies with "can't create the user, blah blah.."

I found the answer we can use sqlrole,membership first then active directory role,membership. This worked fine, i was able to create sql users as well in episerver
