[thelist] Windows Authentication in ASP.Net

[Martyn Haigh]

Hi,

I'm using windows authentication in .net (c#) to make an intranet.  I'm
getting the users details off a database according to their login name
(DOMAIN\USER).  Within the DB I have their department and custom roles
(finance admin, IT content updater, etc), to enable me to let certain people
update bits of their intranet site themselves.  

Is there anyway I can add my custom roles to the default roles so that :

user.IsInRole("IT content updater");

will work if IT content updater is in their roles list on the DB.  I know
this can be done with forms authentication, but I'm not sure about how to
merge the two together.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Martyn Haigh
