Hi all,

My previous Q on this didn't get answered. I may have confused matters a
little.

If I use Active Directory to authenticate users on my site, where do I
manage the other aspects of site security such as roles? Is it all done in
the active directory or the membership data in the SQL Server?

i.e. If I set up AD as my membership provider and use the ASP.NET
configuration page, does the AD provide purely just the authentication. I
see in web.config there is membership defaultProvider and a seperate
roleManager which can use a different connection string.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Dave Colliver.

The AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider works with Microsoft Authorization Manager
(AzMan). AzMan can use role information stored in XML files or in Active
Directory.

Wouldn't you agree that those kludged and outright flakey aspects of 2.0
Membership, Roles and Profiles have been left fallow with later releases?
Especially with regard to the scope of authentication in general?
