Re: Getting GROUPS from Active Directory by inputing an AD username

Thanks for the response.
But whan i want to do is to have a textbox and when i input a AD username
and click search
i would like to retrieve the groups they belong to.
But what you pointed me to uses the "WindowsIdentity" can iuse the
User.Identity.Name?
Thanks in Advance..
Also is it also possible to do the vice versa..i.e input the AD GROUPS and
then recieve the users?

Just use plain WindowsAuthentication - you can get all groups from the
WindowsIdentity that hangs off Context.User...

I used the WindowsTokenRoleProvider and i was able to input my
username and
i retrieved all the GROUPS i belong to on my PC.
I'm thinking of doing the same but against Active Directory.
How can i do the same against AD?
Will i have to use "AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider" and install Azman?
Or
iare they any other ways?
I have used ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider before with my treeview
for
securitytimming can i use that?
Thanks in Advance
