asp.net 2.0 membership provider question

[Guest]

I know that I can use Active Directory as the provider for membership on an
asp.net 2.0 site. I also know that I can use sql server as the provider.
Can I use a combination of the 2 somehow? I want to use active directory for
our users with a network account so that they can use the same username and
password. For the users that don't have an account on our network, I want to
allow them to log on to my site using an account just for the site in sql.
Is this possible? Thanks.

Thanks clintonG. I see how that article shows how to configure a site with a
SQL provider and an Active Directory Provider, but how does it really work in
practice. Does the site look up the user in Active Directory and if it
doesn't find it then look it up in SQL? Do you have any more details on how
this actually works?

Lanem,

The providers are completely separate. Either you use the provider for AD
or the SQL provider. There is no failover.

Thanks Jim. That's what I was afraid of.

If you have a different need, you can write your own provider! There are
examples in the SDK documentation.
