I am trying to practice a bit in ASP.NET authentication , i want to learn the Membership API first , than move to Identity.
In the older versions of Visual Studio there was a tool called WSAT (Web Site Administration Tool) to manage the security data in the database.
However , as i have Visual Studio 2022 this tool seems to be deprecated, now first what is the proper alternative to WSAT in visual studio 2022 if we want to work with the Memmbership API?
And second ,if there is no alternative and i am forced to work with WSAT, how can i change the connection string for WSAT to point at my production website, i can't seem to identify the connection string in the web.config.
PS : If i change the connection string named LocalSqlServer located in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machinf.config (which is not practical) this seems to work perfectly and point at my production database.
Thank you.
