    Hi,

    Can a .NET application make use of the information within the Active
    Directory in order to Authenticate and Authorize users?

    For example users from a specific group have been authorize to use a
    number of features in the application while users from another group
    have not.

    I know there is something called Code Access Security, but there seem to
    be classes for the Active Directory Services and classes for something
    called Windows Principle.

    I wonder if someone could get me started with this.

    Another thing is, can devices running the Compact Framework
    be authenticated and authorized in the same way (since they don't have a
    user logged on) Can they be a valid member of a domain ?

    Thnx.
