I have an ASP.Net MVC intranet site that uses Windows authentication to find out who is logged in (viewing anon is allowed). The first time users visit, I collect from them the most basic information for my Contact object (for example, name, email address, country), which is then stored in the application database.
I want to create a site role, so I need to assign a role to each user (user, administrator, etc.). I could do this with ADS groups, but that seems pretty heavyweight. Can I use the SQL membership services provided by ASP.Net to store my user names and then the roles to which they belong, or will I be forced to collect passwords, etc. (Winning the point of using Windows authentication)? Does it also integrate with the ASP.Net MVC [Authorize] attribute?
