Authentication without checking the web.config file

Question

I am trying to use ASP.NET forms authentication functionality but it is not possible for me to add every member to the web config file because there may be thousands using the application. I was just wondering is it possible to do the following all within form authentication?

User signs in.
Flag the user to be authorized.
Allow access.

Hi, I store it in a database but I use a separate entity framework to connect. Thanks for the help i think i can take it from here. — Wesley Skeen

Use MemebrshipProvider infrastructure.

You can use existing SqlMemebrshipProvider (it uses dedicated SQL DB to keep the data) or roll your own inheriting the base class.

Then install it in Web.config (as described in the same article at the bottom).

You can Use Membership provider, with the create user method. Membershipprovider.createuser

pseudocode for creating

Membership.CreateUser(
 username, password, email,
question, answer, isApproved,
 out flag);
if(flag== MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
    {
// success!  

    }

and also you can refer this link to implement
