Sitecore Custom profile

Question

Using Sitecore 7.1, we have defined a custom profile with a custom user profile .Net object so that the user's values can be updated in the Security Manager.

In our site, we have a page to display the current user's profile.

If I update a user's details in the Security User Manager, I expect them to be updated on this page. This works fine locally but when we deploy to test (which has separate authoring and delivery servers), the updated details aren't displayed on the page. We have a custom database table that does contain the correct values so I don't know where the incorrect values are coming from (should I be looking at aspnet_Profile table?) ..

We are using IAuthenticationManeger.GetActiveUser().Profile to get the user to display.

Any ideas? Let me know if supplying any other code would help ...

Answer 1

If your are overriding the Sitecore.Security.UserProfile class and using SetCustomProperty method, then yes the values are saved in the aspnet_Profile database. If you update a user profile in a dev environment, you would need to copy those changes to your test environment via serialization or package to see them there.

If you are doing something else, then you may want to post the code for your profile class so we can get a better idea of what is going on.
