Active Directory Authentication and Priviledges problem

[deathbydisco]

I've created a simple website with a login screen that requires an
email address and a password. It uses the email ID and password to
authenticate against active directory (just to see if the user exists
in the network). Once authenticated, it redirects to the main ASPX
page. Pretty simple and straightforward.

Problem: Only people who seem to have better priviledges (those who
belong to the Administrators group) can get authenticated. Normal,
less-priviledged folks can't. Everything works in the development box
though such that both administrator accounts and end-user accounts can
authenticate successfully during testing. Why can't non-administrators
log in to the site on the live server?

Is this something that can be fixed in web.config's "allow" and "deny"
sections?

How do I fix this??? Help!

Thanks!

So you're using Forms auth it seems, right? How do the non-admins get notified
they're not allowed to login? Do they just get redirected back to thew login
page or is there some other error coming from somewhere else?
