Re: MS ADAM: How strategic is a) MS ADAM and b) Authorizaion Manager?

Thanks for the reply Joe,

I hadn't found ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider in any of the TechEd talks
and a search of microsoft.com
(http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amicrosoft.com+ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider)
finds very little on ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider.

What about Roles and Profiles? ....isn't a separate ASP.NET AD provider
needed for each of these? ...i.e. is MS only planning to support AD/ADAM
for Membership and not Roles and Profiles?

Michael.
