    I have an instance of a customer site running on my dev machine, Windows 10 with IIS 10. The site is using Encrypted passwords. (Yes, I know this needs to change!)

    I am attempting to run a copy of this site on Windows Server 2008 R2. When I try accessing the site I get a 500 Server Error. The Event Log shows:

    Unsecured Passwords Format Detected. The Membership Provider that contains the unsecure passwords format is: AspNetSqlMembershipProvider. The obsoleted password format is: Encrypted.

    My question is; why will the site run on my development machine, Windows 10, and not on Windows server 2008 and can I get it to run?

        Sebastian,

        Both machines show:
        Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full\1033

        In there the Versions are:-

        Windows 10 machine - 4.8.03752
        Windows Server 2008 - 4.7.03062

         

        Update in progress ;)

          Sebastian,

          I have updated the framework on the server to:- 4.8.03761

          Unfortunately this did not fix the problem :(

            Although not solved yet, the problem seems to be connectivity to the SQL server across the network.

              In this case, the error in eventlog is not connected to the issue - if DNN cannot connect to the database, it cannot write into the eventlog table - looking into /portals/default/logs might help

                Hi, if a DNN site is running Encrypted, can you change it to something hashed, or something else? If so, does it re-hash the passwords, or once a site is set, it's set forever?

                  web.config setting for password format is used for all subsequent passwords being stored.

                    Thanks Sebastian, just to be clear, does that mean the existing encrypted passwords will remain encrypted, and new registrations are hashed.

                    Does DNN check both styles when a user is trying to logon, so that regardless of how their password is stored, it will decrypt/hash-check and let them in OK?
