Hello, I have a ASP.NET MVC website with XML based membership and roles. I have the ReadOnlyXmlRoleProvider and ReadOnlyXmlMembershipProvider deployed in bin-folder as two signed dll's.

We are using the Intelligencia URLRewriting module for asp.net with version 2.0 of the framework and IIS6. Our URLs typically have no extension.
