title: Membership.ValidateUser always return false on when published on IIS
body: <p>Membership.ValidateUser methods works on development server but when we publish the same code on IIS it always returns false even if we give valid user credentials.</p>
  
  <p>Please see below code from config:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;add name="membershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="AspMemberShip" applicationName="Service"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also seen few posts on this but none of them helped me, any help is appreciated!</p>
