title: Can I use OpenId with the ASP MembershipProvider?
body: <p>I have a ASP.Net 2.0 website that is currently using a custom MembershipProvider and the standard login control. I would like  to replace the login control with the one from DotNetOpenId.</p>
  
  <p>I override the ValidateUser which checks the username and password, but I shouldn't need to implement this when using OpenId.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to use OpenId and still have the membership provider available to me to so that I can still use it to access the current logged in user?</p>
  
  <p>Or is it the case the there is need for the using provider model anymore?</p>
