    I'm using forms based authentication and LDAP to authenticate a user against
    Active Directory. This is working fine.

    The point where I'm stuck is retireving the groups this user is assigned.

    My web server and active directory servers are different machines. When I
    test by deploying the web app on the active directory machine it does work.
    However, I will not be able to employ this work around in the production
    setting.

    Can anyone advise me as to how retrieve these user groups?

    Are there special settings for searching the Active Directory when running a
    web app off a different server?

    Many Thanks!
