Additional Configuration required:

Within the web.config the following entries must be setup for the application to utilize the role provider:
The applicationConfigurationItemDirectory attribute should point to the folder containing the configuration items used by the application.

 
<system.web>
	<roleManager defaultProvider="ActiveDirectoryRoleProvider" enabled="true" cookieRequireSSL="true">
	  <providers>
		<clear />
		<add name="ActiveDirectoryRoleProvider" type="Galactic.Web.Security.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectoryRoleProvider" applicationConfigurationItemDirectory="~/ConfigurationItems/" description="Galactic Active Directory Role Provider" />
	  </providers>
	</roleManager>
</system.web>

Syntax:

Syntax Note:
The provider_OU_distinguished_name is the OU that is set aside for the role provider to store and manage groups within. The lines containing group_prefix and group_suffix can be left blank if a prefix or suffix is not desired when naming the AD groups. The active_directory_configuration_item_name is the file name of the configuration item that contains information about how the application should connect to AD, see Galactic.ActiveDirectory above for details.
