Hi, thank you for the article. I have an existing sql database which we built in house for our customer helpdesk call logging. I have attached it to a lightswitch project and very quickly have replicate most the functionality in days. My main issue though is how do i get the form login authentication to validate the user login based on the existing Users table which we have used for years and contains the staff logins and password. Could you help me with this. E.g. my login would be something like Staffname and password - **** , can these be used in the lightswitch project without recreating users. thank you
