Not recognizing Membership Providers from asset.config

This looked so simple in the Essentials 3.12 Admin Guide...

I added a custom provider (both membership and role) to the asset.config file, and I also uncommented the Active Directory provider without making any changes to it. Saved the asset.config file.

When I proceed to the next step, editing site security in Manager, I only get the option to create a new security provider, with the message:

Note: The option to choose from existing providers has been disabled for the following reason(s):

There are no role providers available for this site.

These steps are so simple, I have no idea where to start looking to figure out why it is failing to read providers from asset.config as expected.  Can anyone suggest troubleshooting steps?

  I had the same issue.

  It was caused by me not changing the name of the defaultProvider in the roleManager section in asset.config

  <system.web>

   

      <roleManager defaultProvider="[YOUR PROVIDER] " enabled="true">

   

        <providers>

   

          <add name="[YOUR PROVIDER] " ...
