forms authentication and roles

[Phil Townsend]

I am integrating forms authentication in a web app which authenticates
users who are listed in a SQL Server table. There will be a small list
of application roles associated with each user and I would like to store
this list of roles in SQL as well. How would one go about this? Thanks!

here's a good link: http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/formsroleauth.asp
I think there's a VB version in the comments on the article.

Hope this helps.

Both of these articles were a big help, thanks!

I have one further question: if a user is successfully logged, but only
has access to certain directories, and tries to access a forbidden
directory, he is redirected back to the login screen. I would like to
change this so that attempts to access directories without credentials
are answered with a message rather than being redirected back to the
login screen. Thanks again...
