5.1.422: Can't find provider capability information for provider [XYZ].

Vote:

I noticed that there is a problem with using ASP.NET membership providers. When going to edit mode you get the following exception:


[EPiServerException: Can't find provider capability information for provider [XYZ].]
   EPiServer.Security.ProviderCapabilities.IsSupported(String providerName, Action action) +117
   EPiServer.UI.Edit.UserMembership.EnableFields() +418
   EPiServer.UI.Edit.UserMembership.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +1201

The reason is because EPiServer only has hardcoded the capabilites for some of the default providers name like this:


static ProviderCapabilities()
{
    _providerDictionary = new Dictionary();
    _providerDictionary.Add("SqlServerMembershipProvider", new ProviderCapabilitySettings(true, true, true, new object[] { "email", true, "comment", true }));
    _providerDictionary.Add("WindowsMembershipProvider", new ProviderCapabilitySettings(false, false, false, new object[] { "email", true, "comment", false }));
    _providerDictionary.Add("SqlServerRoleProvider", new ProviderCapabilitySettings(true, true, true));
    _providerDictionary.Add("WindowsRoleProvider", new ProviderCapabilitySettings(false, false, false));
}

To get it to work if you have providers with other names you must obviously register them manually (at least until EPiServer provides a better sollution) in Global.asax.cs.


        private void RegisterCapabilitiesOnMembershipProviders()
        {
            string defaultMembershipProviderName = ProviderFacade.GetDefaultMembershipProviderName();
            string defaultRoleProviderName = ProviderFacade.GetDefaultRoleProviderName();

            ProviderCapabilities.AddProvider(defaultMembershipProviderName, new ProviderCapabilitySettings(false, false, false, new object[] { "email", true, "comment", false }));
            ProviderCapabilities.AddProvider(defaultRoleProviderName, new ProviderCapabilitySettings(false, false, false));
        }

        protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            RegisterCapabilitiesOnMembershipProviders();
        }
