I'd like to explorer the possibility of using our current LDAP for an administration site. Ideally I'd like the user to visit the site. The site authenticates the user based on LDAP. Based on the user's role, I'd like the sitemap to display only areas they can access.

 Is all of this possible? Is there a good resource on setting this up?

 Thanks!

Hi

Basically, you could authenticate user account against ActiveDirectory in ASP.NET 2.0 using the ActiveDirectoryMembership provider. If you want to enable Role-Based securitytrimming in web application, please specify a role provider in web.config file which could retrieve role information for current user from ActiveDirectory. This article describes how to implement the feature
