Basic Software Design Question Using Roles & Membership

Hi. I am in the process of looking at an API and I see the following two calls: API.Users.Roles.getAllRoles(); API.Admin.Roles.getAllRoles(); What I would like to know is how each of these call is used within the context of a Web program. Since both Admin and Users are properties, what exactly is the get; set; doing? How does the c...

role-based methods for one web service?

I am trying to set up a (for now) really simple web service. By simple, I mean it only has a small amount of actual work to do on the code-side.

Note: I guess it doesn't make sense for a client application to do this (I'...

LDAP-authentication and local roles don't work

Hi again, authentication via LDAP works like a charm, however, when I assign a role to a user and secure a page in the requestmap (like /books/show/** and ROLE_USER) this only works for local-only users, not for users authenticated via LDAP.
