I am using a custom Member****p Provider to map our existing user data store
to the Commerce Server Profiles System. I have set up the userProfile
web.config element to use ASP.NET and have specified our custom
profileDefinition and the needed properties. My problem is that the
unique
key for our DataStore is the Primary Key (int). Since I need this to be
the
CommerceContext.Current.UserID value, I'm getting an invalid cast
exception
whenever I try to access this. I have found a workaround, particularly
setting the UserID explicitly in the PreRequestHandlerExecute event of the
Global, but this has to be done on each request and I'm worried that there
may be issues that creep up later as a result of this perhaps in profile
-->
order linkage, etc..
Our other solution was to use UPM instead of ASP.NET as then I can create
an
authTicket object with the stringified value of the integer ID we use as
the
user's name, but I am aware that AuthManager is obsolete in 2007 and not
recommended for new development.
Does anyone have any ideas for how I can accomplish this without hacking
it
into working?
Thanks,
Dave
