DNN 9 how to set up SSO data services for a custom authentication provider

I am setting up a DDn9 Website. I am installing a custom authentication provider. I was following this tutorial:

http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-blog/cid/134678/dotnetnuke-tips-and-tricks-12-creating-your-own-authentication-provider

However, I am having issues with the login.

A critical error has occurred. Please check the Event Viewer for further details.

I think there is something wrong with my linkage in the web.config file. I was wondering if you need a tutorial or an example that would show up the web.config file was a set up for custom authentication provider.

Solution

A little debugging should be able to help you identify what isn't being initialized correctly.
