Custom ValidateUser() in custom .net MembershipProvider

Is there a way to extend the ValidateUser method to receive other parameters than the default?

Default

public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password)
{
    return db.ValidateUser(username, password);
}

I'd like to implement

public bool ValidateUser(Guid rsid)
{
    return db.ValidateUser(rsid);
}

'db' is a class containing methods to communicate with the database(s). This is not my design any way, it's a customer who wants to be able to sign in with Guid links, safe ey! :)

Thanks

Solution

  • How about just passing a string representation of a Guid in and converting?

    public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password)
{
    Guid rsid;

    if (Guid.TryParse(username, out rsid))
    {
        return db.ValidateUser(rsid);
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}
