I'm developing a web application using VB.NET, connecting to SQL Server 2005.
I'd like to take advantage of ASP.NET 2.0 membership provider features (user management, role assignment, etc), but I want to check username and password with an LDAP server rather than against a local database. I already know how to do the LDAP authentication. I'm not sure if my terminology is correct, but is there some way to "Overload" or "Override" just the ValidateUser function without breaking the rest of the provider model? Or will I have to write a whole new provider?
I'm using VB for this site but I'm sure C# syntax would make sense to me as well.
Thanks for any help!
