Remarks

Although the default value of this property is false, it is changed to true in a solution template. When UI-level security is used, you can change this property value in the Application Designer.

When the Middle Tier security is used, change this property value in the following manner.

C#

AuthenticationActiveDirectory authentication = new AuthenticationActiveDirectory();
authentication.CreateUserAutomatically = false;
QueryRequestSecurityStrategyHandler securityProviderHandler = delegate() {
    return new SecurityStrategyComplex(typeof(PermissionPolicyUser), 
        typeof(PermissionPolicyRole), authentication);
};

VB.NET

Dim authentication As New AuthenticationActiveDirectory()
authentication.CreateUserAutomatically = False
Dim securityProviderHandler As QueryRequestSecurityStrategyHandler = _
Function() New SecurityStrategyComplex(Me.GetType(PermissionPolicyUser), _
Me.GetType(PermissionPolicyRole), authentication)

The SecurityStrategyComplex.NewUserRoleName property specifies the Role which is associated with the auto-created users.

You can customize the process of user auto-creation by handling the AuthenticationActiveDirectory.CustomCreateUser event.
