Re: Forms Authentication - Active Directory

They are all not very helpful in your situation.

The WindowsTokenRoleProvider only works with windows auth - not forms.

Ryan an me have written an ActiveDirectoryRoleProvider - which seems to work for most people...

i can send you the code if you are interested...

Hi,

I have an asp.net 2.0 application with forms authentication. I am
authenticating the users to an Active Directory Server with
ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider which works as expected and users
get authenticated.

What I am trying to do is to get also the role information from the
Active Directory Server with the groups where the users belong to.

Is there any way to achieve it ? Can it be done by enabling some
provider in the role manager section of the web.config file ?

any help will be appreciated, thx in advance,
ori
You would need a role provider.

WindowsTokenRoleProvider for using Active Directory groups as roles
AuthorizationStoreProvider - for Windows 2003 and ADAM SqlRoleProvider
for storing roles in SQL Server
