AzMan Still the way to go?


I've been reading a bunch on the Roles based set-ups people are using,
and am sort of at an impass. Meaning, I need to stop reading and start
coding.

Brief background, I am starting fresh with an intranet, and was
planning on having the whole site use IIS windows authentication.
However I keep reading about folks still using the Form login with
windows authentication, am I misunderstand how they are implimenting
their setups?

I've started playing around with AzMan, and as I understand it, it's
simply just a connection between a person's AD account and what roles
they are assigned to. Correct? If that's the case, why use an
enternal XML file for AzMan? Couldn't that be stored in SQL? or is it
better to have the portability of the XML.

I'm hesitant to jump in with both feet without having the security in
place.
