rodchar i think you are missing out somethings here.
If u are using AD what does databse table got to do with it?
You should have roles or groups in your AD and you just need to disable
anonymous access in IIS
and enable integrated security and there you go.
Check my blog at:-http://naijacoder.spaces.live.com/
i have something related there
Hope it helps

hey all,
if my app is using active directory for authentication how do i assign
roles
to each user? do i need a database table to contain that information?
for instance, take a user does she have access to this program/field or
not?
