In my current project, we need to authenticate users of an ASP.NET application against Active Directory. I think it can be achieved using the membership provider without too much problems. but we need also to manage user roles that will be kept in the ASP roles management tool.
Did anyone implement this configuration? Does it look feasible?
Any tip for one or the other point?
Thanks.

Yes! The ASP.NET role provider is designed to work exactly in that case – the particulars of the authentication provider are irrelevant to the role provider, and it will store the bare essential information to make the two work together – basically the user’s AD identity (domain\user) is tracked in the role database and matched up when necessary.
