DotNetNuke 5 & Invalid Email Account during Log In!
I recently upgraded my JansensSoftware.com website from DotNetNuke 4.9 to 5.1. Everything seemed to work ok until my host cookie expired and I had to log in again. When I did I kept getting an error message about the email address was invalid. Well, it was not invalid!
It took some time to find the problem. You see the problem was that I used the same email address for the host account and for the admin account and for my superuser account. DotNetNuke 5 enforces that accounts can not have duplicate email addresses by default. I had to edit my web.config file and change the AspNetSqlMembershipProvider where requiresUniqueEmail=True to requiresUniqueEmail=False.
Now I could log into my host, admin, and superuser accounts without any problems. I hope this might help someone who has the same problem after upgrading to DotNetNuke 5.
The real problem is that this feature should only be enforced by DotNetNuke 5 when creating the account and not when logging into the account!
