Store/assign roles of authenticated users

Question

I am upgrading a site to use MVC and I am looking for the best way to set up Authentication.

At this point, I have the log-in working off of Active Directory: valida

Answer 1

Could you not drop in either an authorization store role manager or find (e.g. on Codeplex) or write another Role Provider that works with Active Directory to get the groups information?

This would save you the hassle of authenticating the user, getting their roles, and then re-passing that information into the constructor, and would all happen automatically for you as part of the framework.
