Sure. What's the problem you're having?

Thx Paul for the link..
But when u try that code(guess it has flaws!) ...u won't authenticate
with GROUPS and u wouldn't retrieve the GROUPS..
My aim is to have a form authentication validating against Active
Direcctory with Roles....
But getting GROUPS/ROLES to validate against poses a problem..
So doing authorisation poses a problem since i can't get groups/roles..
Any ideas?

I don't understand what you are saying. Groups, or Roles, are essentially the same thing. The link I
posted will return the group membership of the user.

If you want to authentication against Active Directory using Forms-based authentication then see the
following:

No Paul they don't return GROUP membership.
The code works only if i comment out the GetGroup function.
Any ideas?

The memberOf method should return the LDAP path for each group that the account is a member. Are you
saying that no groups are being returned?
