Access control to the WEB pages willl take care of the
first level of security.
What I'd like see if we could use AD from within SQL/WEB
aps to control users access to data within SQL by the use
of groups or extending the schema. That way we have
control at one point. This may not be the best way but we
are looking at options. It may be better to write access
control at the SQL or ASP/.NET level.
