How to attach roles to asp.net?

Question

ASP.NET

I have an asp.net application running on an intranet. Forms authentication system is used

<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx"  />
</authentication>

It is required to switch to authentication mode="Windows"
But my application uses roles to differentiate access to certain pages. The question is how to connect "external" logins taken from AD with self-made roles (there is own storage in the form of a database for roles and other things)?

Answer 1

In general, the casket just opened. The built-in membership still gets into the user-role table, and the account is available by Profile.UserName and Role.UserInRole().
Here is one of the implementations that I have tested. We create all the roles in regular ways + the role that we assign when the user's AD first enters the site. I called her guest. On the master page, I added code that assigns the guest role to the logged-in user. This creates entries in the "users" and "user-role" tables. That. we get an external user to our database and its connection with the role. It remains only to assign a role with the desired access level. All.

Answer 2

The answer is simple: write your own role provider that will take Windows logins, check them against the database table and issue assigned roles.
