ASP.Net Web Project Using Default Login.aspx

Question

Created a ASP.Net Web Application. Wanted to make use of Default Login / Registration that comes in the account folder. From what I have read it appears that this suited to getting anonymous users to register.

I need to restrict access based on a preknown set of users held in a database table.

Is this a good fit with the above or should I just stick with my usual practice of writing the login logic on my default page.

If it is a good fit is there a step 1,2,3 guide to using it? e.g. Mention is made of a database needed in Accounts but is there a default schema for it somewhere?

The majority of web projects that I work on are of this 'restricted user' nature so if the canned login / registration is not a good fit then I can just keep rolling my own.

This is not correct. Every user is anonymous before he registers unless we are running a face recognition algorithm. Every registration page should allow anonymous users unless it is an intranet application which disallows login from outside IPs.

ASP.NET has a powerful Membership module with Role based Site navigation enabled. The learning curve is very low. Try that.
