Unable to register to site

Hi all!

I have a trouble after upgrading mojoPortal from version 2.3.6.4 to 2.3.6.5 using the SQLite provider. The setup has correctly updated the configuration, and everything seems to work fine, except the "Create new user wizard". When I try to create a new user, after clicking the "Create Account" button, I obtain the following error:

Invalid Character in Base64 string.

[FormatException: Carattere non valido in una stringa Base 64.]
   System.Convert.FromBase64String(String s) +0
   mojoPortal.Web.mojoMembershipProvider.UnencodePassword(String pass, MembershipPasswordFormat passwordFormat) +34
   mojoPortal.Web.SiteUtils.Decrypt(String encrypted) +38
   mojoPortal.Web.SiteUtils.GetSmtpSettings() +188
   mojoPortal.Web.mojoMembershipProvider.CreateUser(String userName, String password, String email, String passwordQuestion, String passwordAnswer, Boolean isApproved, Object providerUserKey, MembershipCreateStatus& status) +925

   System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +36
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +2847
 

Despite this error, the user is correctly created. Note that the site is configured to store passwords in clear text in DB and I have inserted my old "machineKey validationKey" tag in the new web.config file.

Can anyone help me to understand and solve this problem?

Re: Unable to register to site

You need to copy the machine key from your old Web.config file and replace the machine key in the new Web.config file with your old machine key. Whenever you upgrade you need to keep the same machine key.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Hi!

I have copied the old machineKey in the new web.config, but the problem remains.

Re: Unable to register to site

You may need to set this to true in user.config then touch Web.config to make it reload settings.

<add key="UseLegacyCryptoHelper" value="true" />

but this is not related to a version upgrade from 2.3.6.4 to 2.3.6.5, maybe if you changed to using a user.config file and you were previously only using Web.config, it might bring this as a new problem.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Unable to register to site

Thank you, the problem was related to UseLegacyCryptoHelper... Now it works perfectly!
