Mixed authentication with roles

I have the requirement for internal users to acces our web app without loggin in manually so using windows authentication, external users need to be refered to a form based authentication.

Now I have implemented the solution below as described below
http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/ar...ntication.aspx

However I also need to employ roles for authorization. The forms side is all set up but I cannot seem to get it to work for the windows side of things has anyone implemented a mixed mode involving roles?

I tried adding in an extra provider

<providers>
<add name="SqlRoleManager" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="aspnetdbConnection_dev" applicationName="Corp.Web.GSP"/>


but I have no idea how to configure it for usse only by the windows users. Secondly if I set it as the default where i have code like

Quote:

---

if (Roles.IsUserInRole("Internal") || Roles.IsUserInRole("SysAdmin") || Roles.IsUserInRole("Sales"))
{

---

I get an

Method is only supported if the user name parameter matches the user name in the current Windows Identity

error

Quote:

<add name="WindowsRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" />

Check out this thread - we started discussing mixed mode membership providers - not something I actually got working - but seemed that was the way to address this

I remember reading that thread with some interest at the time! :)

Did you end up doing something else instead?

Never got that working - maybe we did something like change timeout parameters for that customer so they didn't have to re-login so often when inside the network.

We are a fully jQuery / webservice shop now. I am actually about to make a webservice for another customer of mine that uses ldap to authenticate.

Just to keep you upto date, im currently trying to implement the solution as someoneelse did below.

Few teething problems though, as it seems every file tries to authenticate and redirects to the login i.e. menu controls images css files etc http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7...n-with-asp-net

Hello,

Will be interested to hear how you get on with this! Can you keep us posted?
