    Workflows and Forms Authentication

    Reply Quote
    When using forms authentication, a workflow will pass only the username, not the entire string required to assign a task to someone. For example, if your Membership Provider is called "memprovider" and your username is "usera" then you could assign a task to yourself by entering memprovider:usera in the "Assigned To" field. A workflow will only pass "usera" which isn't enough in a workflow to assign a task. To work around the problem, create a workflow in Visual Studio that concatenates the membership provider name and the username.
