Same membership table for different asp.net application

Question

I have a asp.net website which has form authentication, I have to develop another website which will access the same database for login.

I believe I have to create application ID before going further.

Or when I execute the below statement will create the application id in the aspnet_membership table?

MembershipUser newUser = Membership.CreateUser("UserName", "password", "email@xyz.com");

What could be the best way to deal with it?

Answer 1

You should set it in the Web.config file:

So in one website, you set the applicationName as "App1" in the Web.config, and in the other one you'll name it "App2".
