ASP membership services is ALWAYS creating two accounts

Question

I am using the ASP membership services to create and manage users. I notice that on user account registration everything works fine... Until I call Roles.AddUserToRole, and suddenly I get a second user account created in the aspnet_users table. Can someone explain this? I am quite certain that I should only ever have one user account in the database per registered user...

Could you provide some more information? How and when are these users being created? What does the data in the aspnet_users table look like for each user? — Samuel Meacham, Jul 17 '10 at 00:24

Roles and membership are separate concerns, e.g. do not depend on one another, so the multiple records in aspnet_Users do indicate that you may want to examine your configuration and ensure that your membership and roleManager elements either:

both have NO applicationName defined (default '/') or
both have the SAME applicationName defined
