im not sure why the provider that you have specified is not showing up
in the config tool. I never use it so i cant really comment.
if your site is using the provider that you have specified, then it
must be a problem with the config tool.
they show up when i look at them through the config tool
make sure your membership provider declaration looks something like
this
<membership defaultProvider="SqlMemProvider">
<providers>
<add name="SqlMemProvider"
connectionStringName="SystemConnection"
applicationName="BookingSystem"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
requiresUniqueEmail="true"
passwordFormat="Hashed" />
</providers>
</membership>
