Forms authentication

[MswT]

Hi all,

I have (almost) successfully followed
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197472.aspx to get forms
authentication working.

I have created a user in SQL and Project (i can see him) using the xml
import tool but when I go to "http://<computername>:<port number>/PWA" and
get the "Sign in" page I get an "Error - unknown error" message (page layout
with blue side bar and brown top bar) when I type in the
"AspNetSqlMembershipProvider:bbo" (i.e. the provider and username) and the
password.

Does the Sharepoint setup need to know about the user anywhere?

What can I look for?

I am so close (I think) - help!

At the user prompt you only need to enter "bbo" and password.
Also check access rights to Aspnetdb (or equivalent). Typically SSP
account should be dbo.
