Out-of-box membership provider for asp.net

Question

Is there any out-of-box membership provider for ASP.NET?

Or is there any tutorial for creating one?

My problem is that I can't do any change to ASP.NET membership and I need some change on it.

Yes, there's the default membership provider which uses SQL database. If you want to write a custom one you could inherit from the MembershipProvider class and implement the abstract methods you intend to use.

For example:

public class MyProvider: MembershipProvider
{
    ... implement the abstract methods here
}

and then in your web.config replace the default provider with your own:

<membership defaultProvider="Myprovider">
    <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="MyProvider" type="MyNamespace.MyProvider, MyAssembly" />
    </providers>
</membership>

Here's an article on MSDN which explains the different methods of the membership provider that you need to implement and what are they used for.
