ASP.NET 2.0, MS AD/ADAM and Authorization Manager (AzMan)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

In the thread below from microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory,
Joe Kaplan point out there is a ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider for AD but
there doesn't appear to be an AD/ADAM provider for Roles and Profiles.

1. Is a separate ASP.NET provider needed to provide AD/ADAM support for
Roles and Profiles?



2. Is MS only planning to support AD/ADAM for Membership and not Roles and
Profiles (in ASP.NET 2.0)?



3. How strategic is a) MS ADAM and b) Authorization Manager? ...should we
continue to use them in our Web apps if ASP.NET isn't commited to releasing
a full set of providers and additional support for them?
