Posted in SharePoint, Tips, tagged Custom role provider, SharePoint 2010 on January 12, 2012| 3 Comments »
When building a custom role provider for SharePoint 2010, make sure of the following:
- The Role Provider section must be added to the following web.configs
- Central Admin
- The Security Token Service
- The Web application
- The <RoleProvider tag in the web.config must have:
- enabled=true
- a default provider like (<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" )
Getting Exception “HRESULT: 0x800708C5” with ADMembershipProvider change password method
Posted in Tips, Uncategorized, tagged ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, ChangePassword, HRESULT: 0x800708C5 on January 5, 2012| 4 Comments »
Symptoms:
- You keep getting the exception HRESULT: 0x800708C5 with the Active directory membership provider change password indicating that the password used does not conform to the domain password policy.
- As an admin, you are able to update the user password using that same password.
Probable cause:
- The active directory policy can be set to allow a “minimum password age”, i.e. users cannot change their own password before it is at least X days (default 1). The Administrator though does not have such restrictions when trying to update a user’s password.
- This can be checked at Start->Administrative tools->Group policy Management->Navigate the tree to the domain-> default domain policy –>right click edit->computer configuration –>policies –>windows settings->security settings-> account policies->password policy->check the entry for “minimum password age”
- If you want to reset it (mainly for development/testing purposes), just change it to zero. then go to command line gpupdate /force to apply the new policy
