I know I said yesterday that I’d start a series about creating DotNetNuke modules, but I solved a problem yesterday after I wrote that post that I think a lot of you will be interested in.  Especially if you are using WordPress in combination with an ASP.NET site.

The problem we had was this.  We have an ASP.NET web site that requires a login before anyone can see any pages.  We wanted to add a WordPress blog to it that could only be viewed when people log in and wanted to be able to have the same user names in WordPress that they had in ASP.NET.
